The Monterey Herald has a piece on the famed author Robert Louis Stevenson, who lived briefly in 1879 in a boarding house at 530 Houston Street in Monterey (CA) and whose work is being celebrated there this weekend.
Stevenson’s life and time was actually quite brief, yet left an indelible mark on the history of the Monterey Peninsula. The next decade (the 1880s) was Stevenson’s most prolific, and included some of his most enduring fiction, notably “Treasure Island,” “Kidnapped,” “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” and “The Black Arrow.”
