Belle | News, Sports, Jobs - Adirondack Daily Enterprise

info@robertlouisstevensonmemorialcottage.org
Today begins a mini-series featuring one of several prominent members of the Stevenson Society of America in its formative years who had known Robert Louis Stevenson intimately and then outlived him. The story of this one begins in the American West.
“Belle” is for Isobel, the older sister by 10 years of Lloyd Osbourne, the lucky American kid who got to have Robert Louis Stevenson for a partner and stepfather in many colorful enterprises, and to whom “Treasure Island” is dedicated. As Mrs. Isobel Field (her second marriage), Belle and Lloyd came to Saranac Lake in February 1917 at the invitation of the Stevenson Society, in which they were members, and the village of Saranac Lake. A headline from the Saranac Lake News, Feb. 8, 1917, reads: “ALL HONOR PAID STEVENSON FAMILY — Stepchildren of Famous Author revisit Saranac Lake after Thirty Years — Mr. and Mrs. Osbourne and Mrs. Salisbury Field, Entertained at the Baker Cottage, Country Club and in Public Reception.”

Dr. Trudeau remembers RLS | News, Sports, Jobs - Adirondack Daily Enterprise

info@robertlouisstevensonmemorialcottage.org
No two individuals did more to put this village on the map than Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau and Robert Louis Stevenson. The appearance of the latter’s letter in the New York Evening Post in March 1888 had put the world on notice that a new, improved and affordable fountain of “Juventus” was in the making at the upper reaches of a river valley somewhere in the mountains of the American Northeast. It was the place RLS called his “little Switzerland in the Adirondacks,” the town four generations of lungers would call Saranac Lake.
Just like the health resorts in Europe, Dr. Trudeau’s open-air experiment here drew an international clientele. How much influence Stevenson’s letter to the Post contributed to that success is incalculable, but there was probably no better source of free publicity for Trudeau’s efforts than this expert on TB resorts, who was also the most popular writer of his time. Out of all the doctor’s patients, only this chain-smoking spectre from Scotland got his own chapter in Trudeau’s autobiography. In his own words, the Saranac Lake physician to Robert Louis Stevenson shares memories of his most famous patient. Two sources supply the following quotes: “An Autobiography,” by Trudeau, and an article from The Journal of the Outdoor Life entitled “Stevenson and Saranac: Reminiscences of the Celebrated Author’s Stay in the Adirondacks.”
