The amateur emigrant

When Fanny Osbourne summoned from California her famous - he had already published Treasure Island - but penniless fiance, he could not fail to heed the call. The cheapest route from his Scottish home - his father wasn't funding this adventure - was by cattle-boat and trans-continental railroad. Thus it was that one of the age's most popular authors came to chronicle the great emigrant trek west.
