To a large degree this was a story about Robert Louis Stevenson traveling across the US by train. A lot of additional information was included about train travel in general in those days. It seemed odd that the title didn’t give the reader a larger scope of this book.

Another fascinating Jim Murphy book--lots of information about 19th emigration to America and the transcontinental railroad, told through Robert Louis Stevenson's diary of his trip to California in 1879 with loads of pictures.
