First printing. Octavo, Full cloth, black & white photographic plates, xvi, 463 pages. Condition: Very Good.
Chronicle of an adventurous and early (if not the first!) automobile trek from the Mexican border to the Alaskan border.

Many interesting photographs including American Indians, cowboys, California oil fields, Yosemite, Oregon and Washington. Fold-out map at rear. Bound in green cloth over boards with gilt stamped spine and upper board lettering, gilt outlined scene on upper board, top edge gilt. Light extremity rubs, lettering on spine somewhat dulled, contemporary prior ownership name on front free endpaper and inscription on preliminary blank leaf. Both hinges tender, last four leaves show some silverfish holes at top fore corners. Still a very handsome copy. Americana
