It is true that during  the California Gold Rush of the 1850s, some Americans in the eastern part of the United States reached California by sailing all the way around South America.

Explanation:

The first gold seekers, called forty-niners, traveled to California by boat on the Cape Horn route or in caravans crossing the continent, facing a very hard trip most of the time. Most immigrants were Americans, but the gold rush also attracted tens of thousands of people from Latin America, Europe, Australia and Asia.

The most affluent seekers used to travel by boat from the East Coast of the United States to Cape Horn, and there crossed to the Pacific Ocean, climbing back to the US until landing in California. This was the fastest and safest option, since the land route was too long to be done on horseback, in addition to the innumerable dangers both geographically and due to the presence of hostile native tribes during the journey.
