Tales of a Traveller Section 35 - Wolfert Webber; or, Golden Dreams, Part Two

from The Washington Irving Library · host Washington Irving

In which a company of old acquaintances gathers in a rural tavern to exchange spirited tales of buried treasures, Dutch ancestors, and pirate legends that set the imagination awhirl with dreams of wealth. Meanwhile, poor Wolfert Webber becomes possessed by these visions, obsessively digging his once-prosperous garden through many seasons, as hopes of sudden fortune gradually wane into the harsh realities of want and solitude.
