The travel memoir captures Robert Louis Stevenson’s two-month honeymoon in California's Napa Valley, where he sought recovery from bronchitis. Accompanied by his wife Fanny and her son, they stayed in an abandoned bunkhouse at a mining camp called Silverado. The narrative offers unique insights into late 19th-century California, including Stevenson's experiences with the local wine industry and his first encounter with a telephone. This journey not only marked a personal milestone but also contributed to the establishment of The Robert Louis Stevenson State Park.
