Rather than travelling in comfort, Stevenson deliberately shared the conditions of ordinary passengers, giving him a close view of their hopes, hardships and personalities. The Silverado Squatters recounts a later period spent with his wife in an abandoned mining camp in California's Napa Valley. Together, the two works combine travel, autobiography and social observation, revealing Stevenson's curiosity about people and places as well as his gift for vivid and engaging description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216454500691,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421137027411,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-amateur-emigrant-and-the-silverado-squatters-folio-society-771","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
