Product Description
The stage of this small book is on a high mountain. There are, indeed, many higher; there are many of a nobler outline. It is no place of event for a outline globe-trotter; though to one who lives on a sides, Mount Saint Helena shortly becomes a core of interest. It is a Mont Blanc of one territory of a Californian Coast Range, nothing of a nearby neighbors rising to one-half a altitude. It looks down on most green, perplexing country. It feeds in a spring-time many striking brooks. From a limit we contingency have an glorious doctrine of geography: seeing, to a south, San Francisco Bay, with Tamalpais on a one palm and Monte Diablo on a other; to a west and thirty miles away, a open ocean; eastward, opposite a corn-lands and thick tule swamps of Sacramento Valley, to where a Central Pacific tyrannise starts to stand a sides of a Sierras; and northward, for what we know, a white conduct of Shasta looking down on Oregon. . . .

Review
In 1880 Stevenson and his new overpass trafficked by ferries, trains and carts to Calistoga, California, where he encountered a colonize forest of extraordinary characters, an unprofitable mine, and a imperishable nation filled with eagles and bears. This will infer an glorious transport story endorsed for high propagandize readers of some of Stevenson's other works, who wish to turn out normal Stevenson titles. -- Midwest Book Review
