Richard Henry Dana Jr. (August 1, 1815 – January 6, 1882) was an American lawyer and politician from Massachusetts. Following a 2 year trip to California by sea, in 1840 he wrote Two Years Before the Mast. Dana was appointed by President Abraham Lincoln United States District Attorney for Massachusetts; and in his arguments before the Supreme Court in Washington in connection with the "Prize causes," dealing with the capture of private property at sea in time of war, he greatly increased an already brilliant legal reputation.
His wife was Sarah Watson (1814-1907) from Hartford Connecticut.
