Description

Robert Louis Stevenson wrote The Silverado Squatters as the travel memoir of his honeymoon in California's Napa Valley in 1880.

He and his new wife Fanny Vandegrift were unable to pay 10 dollars a week for a local hotel room, so they spent their unconventional honeymoon living in a bunkhouse in an abandoned mining camp named "Silverado".

Squatting there for two months of a California summer, they installed makeshift cloth windows and hauled water from a close-by stream.

The area they stayed in is now called The Robert Louis Stevenson State Park.
