Amateur Emigrant

Amateur Emigrant
Published posthumously in 1895, 'Amateur Emigrant' is a travel narrative by Robert Louis Stevenson detailing his journey from Scotland to California in 1879. Traveling in second class, he aimed to experience the conditions of the working class, providing insightful commentary on class distinctions and the immigrant experience. The book was initially withheld from publication due to the author's father's disapproval of his associations with lower-class passengers.
