StevoR says June 9, 2020 at 11:37 pm Good artwork. I like it. :-) FWIW the Young America was a clipper ship which lookd quite a bit different to the one portrayed on the cover : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_America_(clipper) It was also the name of no less than 3 unuccessful America’s Cup yachts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_America Among other things. The interestingly named Oliver Optic trusn out to be the pen name of William Taylor Adams (1822- 1897) “.. a noted academic, author, and a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.” : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Taylor_Adams In case folks were curious here like I was.
