Francis Dana: A Puritan Diplomat At The Court Of Catherine The Great is a non-fiction book written by W. P. Cresson. The book tells the story of Francis Dana, an American diplomat who served as the United States' envoy to the Russian court of Catherine the Great during the late 18th century. Dana was a devout Puritan who brought his religious beliefs and values with him to Russia, where he worked to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries. The book provides a detailed account of Dana's time in Russia, including his interactions with Catherine the Great and other important figures of the time. It explores the challenges he faced as a representative of a new and relatively unknown country, as well as the cultural differences he encountered in Russia. Cresson's book also delves into Dana's personal life, including his relationships with his family and friends, and his struggles with illness and personal loss. Through Dana's story, the book offers insights into the early history of American diplomacy and the challenges faced by those who worked to establish the United States as a respected global power. Overall, Francis Dana: A Puritan Diplomat At The Court Of Catherine The Great is a well-researched and engaging account of a fascinating period in American and Russian history, and of the life of one of America's early diplomats.Biography Of Francis Dana, American Lawyer, Jurist, And Statesman From Massachusetts Who Served As A Delegate To The Continental Congress.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
