Traveling through the great cities, magnificent landscapes, and highways of a bygone America, the book is illustrated with vintage photographs, posters, travel brochures, and other charming ephemera.

With five maps and nine color inserts of facsimile menus, guidebooks, and vintage postcards displaying everything from cog railways running up Mount Washington to ostrich farms outside Pasadena and Arkansas’s spectacular Hot Springs, this brilliantly researched book provides a tour of an America just beginning to flex its muscles as a world-class tourist attraction.
