    Este artículo analiza la aplicación de la teoría del Destino Manifiesto en Dos años a bordo (Two Years before the Mast) (1840) de Richard Henry Dana. En la narración de sus experiencias en California a fines de la década de 1830, construye para sus lectores una California como tierra vacía, llena de posibilidades económicas que esperan a la industriosidad anglosajona, aunque echada a perder por lo que denomina pereza hispana.

    This article explores the utilization of the theory of the Manifest Destiny in Richard Henry Dana's Two Years before the Mast (1840). As the author narrates his experiences in California in the late 1830�s, he constructs California for his readers as an empty land, full of economic possibilities that await American industriousness and currently spoiled by what he terms Hispanic laziness.
