Robert Louis Stevenson in California (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Robert Louis Stevenson in CaliforniaHis stay turned into exile, for he found that only in the South Seas could he live; and sad days and longing for familiar friends and faces succeeded, especially in the last years of his life; but he never again even ventured so far as San Fran cisco. The mere extent of a man's travel has in it something consolatory. That he should have left friends and enemies in many different and distant quarters gives a sort of earthly dignity to his existence; and I think the better of myself for the belief that I have left.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
