Excerpt from Three Years Wanderings of a Connecticut Yankee: In South America, Africa, Australia, and California Love of adventure, ambitious schemes, romantic enterprises, and visionary projects of some sort, seem preeminently the characteristics of men of the nineteenth century - especially of young men. Gold has become the absorbing object, and thousands have sacrificed all that was dearest and best - made shipwreck of all that was purest and holiest - in their attempts to realize these golden dreams. Although, in a majority of instances, the sequel has proved the fallacy of these ambitious hopes and designs, they still are slow to believe the testimony of those who have tried them, and many are still rushing to remotest shores for anticipated gain.
