Set against the backdrop of 19th-century California, this travel memoir recounts Robert Louis Stevenson’s honeymoon journey with his wife Fanny and her son. Seeking a healthier climate for his bronchitis, they stay in a makeshift bunkhouse at a former mining camp in Napa Valley. The narrative captures Stevenson’s experiences, including his first encounter with a telephone and interactions with local wine growers. Through vivid descriptions, he offers insights into the region's landscape and culture, while reflecting on his personal journey toward recovery.
