Interesting to learn of Robert Louis Stevenson's bohemianism in the 1870s, a kind of hippy then?, Harbin, California



Interesting to learn of Robert Louis Stevenson's bohemianism in the 1870s,

wearing his hair long and dressing in interesting clothes like velveteen jackets ...

Was he a kind of hippy then?


He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland ...

and traveled very widely ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Louis_Stevenson ...

and lived in Napa Valley for a little while

(he spent his honeymoon near here).


Does anyone know whether he visited Harbin?


There's a Robert Louis Stevenson state park at the summit of the road,

from Calistoga in the Napa Valley,

to Middletown (in Lake County) which is 4 miles from Harbin Hot Springs -
