The two had met and fallen in love during a trip to France, but when Fanny's first husband called her home to California, Stevenson soon followed from Scotland. The sickly Stevenson first made a turbulent Atlantic crossing, like so many nineteenth-century immigrants, as a steerage passenger in a steamer of dubious seaworthiness. After a frenetic stopover in New York City, he embarked on a two-week, three-thousand-mile trip across the continent-the fastest and cheapest way then possible-by emigrant train. Finally arriving in the frontier town of San Francisco to win Fanny over, he was quickly captivated by California. Stevenson's often hilarious impressions of the young country, its rambunctious and colorful inhabitants, and the still-untamed continent are among his most vivid writings 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Stevenson, Robert Louis,|d1850-1894|xTravel|zUnited States. 650 0 Authors, Scottish|y19th century|xTravel|zUnited States. 650 0 Ocean travel. 650 0 Authors, Scottish|y19th century|vBiography. 651 0 United States|xDescription and travel. 700 1 Donnelly, Donal.|4narrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13525002?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ rbd_9781449871345_180.jpeg
