Condition: New. DELUXE REGISTERED EDITION-61st printing,1968- Copyright1937-BRAND NEW AND UNREAD - Deep-Green leatherette with Guild printing and design on cover-Frontispiece. " In a way, the best thing for a writer is misfortune. In that regard, Richard Henry Dana, Jr. got lucky. A young Harvard man, he signed on as a common seaman aboard the brig Pilgrim, bound for California from Boston, to help improve his health. Had it been smooth sailing over benign seas under a wise and beneficent captain, with good food and a leisurely stay on California beaches, we likely would never have heard of Dana. But, thanks to the treacherous and icy waters of Cape Horn, a power-hungry captain keen on flogging his men on slight pretense, a year of hard labor hauling hides in anarchic California (still part of Mexico in 1834, the year Dana sailed), and shipboard living conditions that today's Supreme Court would find cruel and unusual, Dana and his work have remained icons in American literature and history. (To wit, reliving conditions: When he and his shipmates mistakenly believe the war has broken out with France and they might be captured and spend time in a French prison, they view the prospect as a pleasant break from their hard routines and shipboard incarceration.) Part of the lasting success of this book lies in its rich complexity: a part memoir of a privileged youth's right of passage into full manhood; a part sociological treatise on the people and politics of Mexico; part polemic and muckraking journalism exposing the indignities, injustices and virtual slavery suffered by merchant sailors; part technical manual on sailing; part travel narrative; and part detailed history of commerce on the high seas circa 1835."-Rick Skwiot.

(THE SOUTH SEA COMPANY). The South Sea Company was a British venture established in 1711 to trade with South American colonies. Its publicly-traded stock became the subject of a massive bubble in 1720. Shares traded for 1050 British Pounds in June of that year, up from a mere 128 in January, but then fell back to the 100 range by the end of the year. Companies and private individuals alike were financially devastated when the bubble burst, and many of the companys key figures were eventually prosecuted for various sorts of corruption.ADS. 1pg. 6 x 7 .

Ike wrote that asked ?for help in dealing with this crisis, your company at once furnished?the same team - Mr. Leo C. Beebe and Mr. Charles A. Pink - who did so much to make a success of our work?for the Hungarian refugees four years ago.?In the wake of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, a Cuban exodus began as the new government allied itself with the Soviet Union and began to introduce communism. Tens of thousands of Cubans left Cuba starting in late 1959 and picking up in 1960, and the United States became the country of first asylum as the Cuban refugees sought and found political refuge here. For the first time, the United States Government found it necessary to develop a program to help refugees from another nation in this hemisphere.In the forefront of this effort was President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was in the waning days of his administration. In November 1960, Eisenhower directed Tracy S. Voorhees, a former Undersecretary of the Army, to act as the President's Personal Representative for Cuban Refugees, to look into the Cuban refugee situation. To do this, and deal with the broader challenges the refugees presented, Voorhees reached out for assistance to Henry Ford II of the Ford Motor Company, who had been of great help on a similar occasion in the past. In 1956, Ford lent one of his senior executives, Leo Beebe, to the U.S. government to supervise the resettlement in the U.S. of refugees fleeing Hungary after the failure of the revolution there. Beebe became executive vice chairman of Eisenhower?s Committee for Hungarian Refugees. In addition to his committee work, during 1956-1957, while working out of Camp Kilmer in northern New Jersey, Beebe and his aide Charles A. Pink, a Ford staff member, oversaw the relocation and resettlement of 35,000 Hungarian refugees in the United States, eventually finding them permanent residences in this country.In 1960 Ford came through again, and provided the services of the experienced Beebe and Pink for the Cuban refugee effort. The Cuban Refugee Emergency Center was established in Miami, and became the focal point of refugee registration, assistance, relief and resettlement, as well as coordination of government and independent agencies? programs. Federal funding provided for the center?s operations, record keeping, publications, coordination of agencies and research on different aspects of the refugee situation, as well as for programs. The latter included financial assistance, educational loans, health care, adult education and re-training, resettlement and care of unaccompanied children.To understand the scope of the effort, in the first two years after the Cuban Revolution, over 50,000 Cubans fled and established new homes in the United States.Typed letter signed, on White House letterhead, Washington, January 16, 1961, to Henry Ford II, thanking him for again lending a much-needed hand in this critical venture. This letter was written a mere four days before Ike left office and was succeeded by John F. Kennedy. ?Tracy Voorhees, my representative for the Cuban refugee problem, has told me that in response to his request to the Ford Motor Company for help in dealing with this crisis, your company at once furnished to him the same team - Mr. Leo C. Beebe and Mr. Charles A. Pink - who did so much to make a success of our work at Camp Kilmer for the Hungarian refugees four years ago.?With their unique experience gained at Kilmer, these men have been largely responsible for setting up our Cuban Refugee Emergency Center in Miami, and making its work a success. May I express to you and to the Ford Motor Company mysincere appreciation of your again answering our call for help??This letter remained in the Ford family until recently, and it has never before been offered for sale.
