A satirical portrait of post–Civil War America, the story exposes the greed, corruption, and social climbing that defined the era. It follows families and individuals chasing wealth through land speculation, politics, and dubious business schemes. Beneath its humor lies a sharp critique of moral decay and misplaced values in a rapidly industrializing nation. Through irony and wit, the novel reveals how the pursuit of fortune often overshadows integrity and genuine progress.
