| Summary | "In Search of El Dorado: A Wanderer's Experiences" by Alexander MacDonald is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book captures the author's adventures during the gold rush era, detailing his quest for riches and experiences in uncharted territories. Through his journey, MacDonald shares encounters with diverse characters, treacherous landscapes, and the relentless pursuit of the fabled city of El Dorado. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Skagway, a rough camp at the edge of the Yukon in the early days of the gold rush. Here, the author recounts his arrival with a companion named Mac amidst a lawless environment rife with thieves and would-be heroes. The pair immediately encounters the notorious "Soapy Sam," and through a series of tense exchanges, they navigate the dangers that Skagway presents. As they forge ahead, the chapter sets the tone for an adventure filled with peril and camaraderie, as they prepare to cross the treacherous Chilcoot Pass in search of gold and unexpected experiences.
