The Silverado Squatters (1883) is a travel memoir by Robert Louis Stevenson of his two-month honeymoon trip with Fanny Vandegrift (and her son Lloyd Osbourne) to Napa Valley, California, in 1880. Background. In July 1879, Stevenson received word that his future American wife's divorce was almost complete, but that she was seriously ill.
