info@robertlouisstevensonmemorialcottage.org “Behind glass in the Stevenson museum at Saranac Lake, New York, is preserved a black velveteen jacket, the sprig of heather in its upper pocket annually renewed by admirers of its long dead owner.” “Voyage to Windward: The Life of Robert Louis Stevenson,” J.C. Furnas – In his address, read by proxy, at the unveiling ceremony of the Borglum plaque at Baker’s in 1915, Lloyd Osbourne recalled that: “Once in this house Stevenson lay down a copy of ‘Don Quixote’ he was reading, and said, with a curious poignancy that lingers still in my ears: ‘That’s what I am just another Don Quixote.’ I think that was the most illuminating thing he ever said about himself.

His winter in the Adirondacks had enabled him to get out in all weathers.”

info@robertlouisstevensonmemorialcottage.org Robert Louis Stevenson is seen in an original print presented by himself to J. Phelps Smith, son of Paul Smith. “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a book of which the oft-repeated statement is literally true, that its perusal is an unbroken spell.” That is from one of many first reviews of the famous novella pasted into a scrapbook by the author’s mother, Mrs. Margaret Isabella Balfour Stevenson, about 130 years ago. Altogether, “Maggie” compiled six such volumes covering her son’s career in media clippings. Three of them, including the only posthumous scrapbook, take up cabinet space in Maggie’s former personal space at Baker’s, better known today as the Robert Louis Stevenson Memorial Cottage.

Robert Louis Stevenson and the Saranac Connection The Episcopal Church of St. Luke the Beloved Physician is seen soon after its completion in 1879. At far left is the Cooper residence, where Robert Louis Stevenson met Mrs. “Libby” Custer. (Provided photo) Mrs. Margaret Isabella Balfour Stevenson, or “Maggie,” was the daughter of a high-ranking official in the Scottish Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Dr. Lewis Balfour. Consequently, churchgoing was in Maggie’s blood, and in 1887, there was only one legitimate outlet in Saranac Lake to satisfy that urge St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, established 1879.
