The Silverado Squatters explores the story of Stevenson and his new bride staying in the dumped housing of an old mine, the Silverado, without any legal claim. The writer presented an account of the honeymoon that this weird but loving couple spent in Silverado.

This book is a travelogue of Robert Louis Stevenson, who spent a year in California before returning to Europe. He wonderfully described the natural beauty of the area and its scenic surrounding through this story.
