The Amateur Emigrant; Across The Plains; The Silverado Squatters is a collection of three travel narratives written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published in 1897.

The second part, Across The Plains, describes his journey across the United States by train, from New York to California. The final part, The Silverado Squatters, recounts his stay in a cabin in the Napa Valley in California, where he and his wife Fanny lived for several months. The book provides a vivid and insightful account of life in America during the late 19th century, with Stevenson's keen observations and engaging writing style bringing the landscapes, people, and cultures of the country to life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
