Best known for his fiction and poetry, Robert Louis Stevenson was also a prolific travel writer. This volume opens with An Inland Voyage, in which Stevenson and a companion paddle canoes through northern France. It includes Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes, Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes, and his 1878 California sequence: The Amateur Emigrant, Across the Plains, The Old and New Pacific Capitals, and The Silverado Squatters. Shorter European essays and reflections on travel close the collection.
