Background
Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was born in Edinburgh Scotland to Thomas Stevenson, a third generation lighthouse engineer. His maternal grandfather, Lewis Balfour, was a minister. These two backgrounds merged in Stevenson to formulate a love for the sea and the adventure of the open road, as well as his propensity for preaching. He also supposedly inherited a lung issue from his mother, which some have considered to be tuberculosis.Personal Life
In 1875, Stevenson passed the examinations required for admission into the bar. He married in 1880, taking Fannie Vandergrift Osbourne as his wife. During his last years he purchased 400 acres in the Samoan Islands where he hoped to gain some of his health back. He died on Upolu Island in Samoa in 1894.-
