RLS Unbirthday 2022
Robert Louis Stevenson and the Goat Ranchers of Carmel Valley
Join the RLS Club in the Community Room for a celebration of Robert Louis Stevenson's "Unbirthday" with an illuminating presentation and a delicious slice of cake.
Lindy Perez, historian of the RLS Club, will discuss her research into the lives of two goat ranchers who saved the life of Stevenson when he fell gravely ill while camping at San Clemente Creek in 1879. Stevenson eventually recovered at their cabin deep in Carmel Valley and returned to Monterey. Learn how the letters of RLS, local newspapers, and census reports revealed surprising stories of two American frontiersmen whose courage, hard work, and civic pride contributed to the character of early Monterey.
