In the summer of 1879, young writer Robert Louis Stevenson embarked on a transformative journey from Scotland to California after receiving news of a dear friend's illness. Strapped for cash, he traversed America by train, capturing his observations of the diverse landscapes and people along the way. Jim Murphy's engaging narrative combines Stevenson's experiences with intriguing insights into the construction of the transcontinental railroad, offering a vivid depiction of a pivotal chapter in the American West's history.
