The Silverado Squatters

The Silverado Squatters

Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
In 1880 Stevenson and his new bridge traveled by ferries, trains and carts to Calistoga, California, where he encountered a pioneer wilderness of curious characters, an unprofitable mine, and a rugged country filled with eagles and bears. This will prove an excellent travel story recommended for high school readers of some of Stevenson's other works, who want to round out traditional Stevenson titles. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Book Description
The proprietor was a brave old white-faced Swede. He had wandered this way, Heaven knows how, and taken up his acres - I forget how many years ago - all alone, bent double with sciatica, and with six bits in his pocket and an axe upon his shoulder. Long, useless years of seafaring had thus discharged him at the end, penniless and sick.
