About this book
Mount Saint Helena, a peak in the Californian Coast Range north of San Francisco Bay, is the setting of Robert Louis Stevenson's account of living on its slopes. The contents name Calistoga, the Petrified Forest, Napa wine, a Mr. Kelmar, the mining camp of Silverado, a toll house, the sea fogs and the story of a mine.
The opening pages describe the view from the summit and the ferry and railway route from San Francisco up Napa Valley. Stevenson stayed at the abandoned Silverado workings in 1880, and the book first appeared in 1883.
