Taking the time-worn and priceless, 'Across the Plains' in 1879, the editor has added with illustrations, photographs and an additional character into Robert Louis Stevenson's classic as his traveling companion.Mister Thaddeus Black, our fictional addition, has updated this classic with historical notes not available in the 1892 version. It has also been formatted to fit today's eBook readers. I began this journey many years ago upon the reading of one of Mr. Stevenson's shortest books, Across the Plains. It has been reviewed as probably one of Stevenson's most boring reads in a lifetime of excellent novels, but also as these dozen short works are a delight. Whatever the case, I decided to travel once more with Mr. Stevenson and ask some pointed questions of my fellow passenger as we crossed the plains and to illustrate the scenario and scenery as we progressed. The trip occurred in 1879 but Mr. Stevenson did not publish it until 1892. Since first reading it, I have wanted to make this journey. I decided to join the trip in 2013, a little late, I admit. Like all good readers who wish to find themselves in the middle of the action, I wanted to put myself (and you) a little closer to the main subject and story by capturing the scenes, sounds and sonnets of that travel. Hop aboard and enjoy the trip. 65 pages.
