Stevenson, Robert Louis. The Silverado squatters. A new impression with a frontispiece by Joseph A. Strong. London: Chatto & Windus, 1906. Hardback, VG. Dark brown cloth, bevelled edges, a little rubbed to front and back, with slight bumping to corners and a few strands fraying at the top of the spine. Gilt textboxes and lettering to spine. Binding strong. Light tanning to endpapers. Pencilled ownership signature to ffep. Frontispiece b/w illustration. Title page in red and black. 254pp., contents clean and bright. Top edge of the page block gilt, the other edges untrimmed with a few foxing spots. The Silverado Squatters (1883) is a travel memoir of Stevenson’s two-month honeymoon trip with Fanny Vandegrift (and her son Lloyd Osbourne) to Napa Valley, California, in 1880. The Silverado Squatters provides some views of California during the late 19th century. Stevenson uses the first telephone of his life. He meets a number of wine growers in Napa Valley. Stevenson also details his encounters with a local Jewish merchant, whom he compares to a character in a Charles Dickens novel. Like Dickens in American Notes (1842), Stevenson found the American habit of spitting on the floor hard to get used to. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
