A long reminiscence recounts late 19th century land speculation in Iowa. The narrator describes buying vast tracts sight unseen, aided by a fortune-seeking adviser, with purchases in Emmet, Keokuk, and Union counties. He recalls droughts, grasshoppers, and the rapid railroad-driven boom that followed, leading to profits from large sales to settlers and German buyers, and reflects on the risks and lessons learned from 1875 to 1885.
