"A vivid and painstakingly researched account of Emerson's late-in-life, seven-week trek across the North American continent in 1871." -New York Review of Books
In the spring of 1871, Ralph Waldo Emerson boarded a train in Concord, Massachusetts, bound for a month-and-a-half-long tour of California-an interlude that became one of the highlights of his life. On their journey across the American West, he and his companions would take in breathtaking vistas in the Rockies and along the Pacific Coast, speak with a young John Muir in the Yosemite Valley, stop off in Salt Lake City for a meeting with Brigham Young, and encounter a diversity of communities and cultures that would challenge their Yankee prejudices.
Based on original research employing newly discovered documents,The California Days of Ralph Waldo Emersonmaps the public story of this group's travels onto the private story of Emerson's final years, as aphasia set in and increasingly robbed him of his words. Engaging and compelling, this travelogue makes it clear that Emerson was still capable of wonder, surprise, and friendship, debunking the presumed darkness of his last decade.
"Wilson effectively conveys Emerson's cultural myopia, along with its late-Victorian context." -Times Literary Supplement
"Deeply researched, enjoyably readable." -San Francisco Chronicle
"What Wilson offers the Emersonian reader today is a unique story of Emerson in motion, having a particularly American experience in looking westward." -Emerson Society Papers
"A welcome addition to Emerson scholarship and the first comprehensive treatment of his journey westward to the Pacific state." -Ronald A. Bosco, general editor ofThe Collected Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson
