According to his doctor, in 1852 Phineas P. Gage "engaged with a man who was going to Chili...to establish a line of coaches at Valparaiso." His mother and sister went to California around the same time, so it's possible he accompanied them for part of the trip, either across Panama or around Cape Horn. (Chile was the spelling in use at the time, and Valparaiso was frequently the first stop, after rounding the Horn, for ships bound for California.)
