An interesting look at american tourism written in 1957. The language is sometimes awkward in comparison to how we speak today but still wonderful to read. Explores how travel changed from something that only the wealthy and the elite did to a rise of automobilers in the 1920s and 30s. In the early days of tourism in the American West, the men (and very few women) who came out didn't always know what to expect. Their palates weren't as jaded. Even the people who brought themselves out in the 20s and 30s had a sense of adventure, the trip was still new. But then, the shift to when all of the general masses to go to the park.
