Author Jim Murphy is well known for his interesting and enjoyable books about American History. This one uses the true story of Robert Louis Stevenson traveling by the trans-continental railroad in 1879 to California to depict the social issues of the day.
Nothing went faster than a train in 1879, and this was a very long journey. Think of one of the longest journeys you have ever taken. What kind of transporation did you use? Did you meet other people along the way? How was your experience different than Stevenson's?
