This special edition of TWO YEARS BEFORE THE MAST includes updates 24 and 76 years after the initial voyage. Richard Dana writes so that the reader can feel the icy Chilean waters, taste the hardtack, and feel whip upon your flogged back.Take the voyage with him as he leaves Harvard to travel with a mad captain around South America to the coasts of California.  Feel the same passions that influenced Herman Melville in writing his book Moby Dick and made D.H. Lawrence declare, “Dana's small book is a very great book.”
