A true story of the battered life of a foremast crewman, Two Years Before the Mast is Richard Henry Dana’s classic travel narrative, which inspired canonical works such as Moby Dick and Sailing Alone Around the World. As Rod Scher follows Dana (the Harvard dropout-turned-sailor) on his voyages around North America, he annotates Dana’s tale with critiques, compliments, tie-ins to today, and little-known facts about both the book and the milieu of Dana’s time.

Rod Scher is an experienced writer and editor with multiple books and dozens of magazine articles to his credit. The former editor of Smart Computing Magazine, Scher is also the author of Sailing by Starlight: The Remarkable Voyage of Globe Star and Leveling the Playing Field: The Democratization of Technology, and the editor/annotator of recent editions of Joshua Slocum’s classic nautical memoir Sailing Alone Around the World and Richard Henry Dana’s classic Two Years Before the Mast, all from Sheridan House Publishers. He lives in Depoe Bay, Oregon.
