THE SILVERADO SQUATTERS~

Más información sobre el libro

Set against the backdrop of an abandoned silver mining camp in late 19th century California, the narrative captures Robert Louis Stevenson’s unconventional honeymoon with Fanny Vandegrift. Over two months, they experience local life, including wine growing experiments, a visit to a petrified forest, and the novelty of the telephone. The vibrant characters of the Napa Valley enrich their stay, and Stevenson's reflections during this time later influence the descriptive elements of his famous work, Treasure Island.
