No, Richard Henry Dana was not a Californio. He was an American author and sailor best known for his book "Two Years Before the Mast," which recounts his experiences along the California coast in the early 19th century. Californios were people of Spanish or Mexican descent who lived in California, whereas Dana was of Anglo-American heritage. His writings contributed to the understanding of California during its transition from Mexican to American rule.
