The Silverado Squatters by Robert Louis Stevenson
A memoir of the author that is punctuated with colourful portrayals of the quirky and eccentric people who inhabited Silverado and with descriptions of the daily trials of living simply in the wild.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894), was a Scottish novelist, poet and travel writer, most famous for his books Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling, Vladimir Nabokov and J. M. Barrie, Stevenson was a celebrity in his lifetime, although his reputation gradually declined after his death. The late 20th century saw the start of a re-evaluation of Stevenson as an artist of great range and insight, a literary theorist, an essayist and social critic, a witness to the colonial history of the Pacific Islands and a humanist.
