This plaque is one of many in the pavement in front of Colton Hall. It reads:
"1879
Robert Louis Stevenson
In poor health, nearly penniless and with his literary
success still a few years away. Robert Louis
Stevenson created a romantic view of Monterey and
the surrounding area. His written and mental notes of
the Monterey coastline were later used when he wrote
'Treasure Island," 'Kidnapped" and
"The Old Pacific Capital."
