About This Item

United States, 1957. Very good. Toned, one or two nicks, short tears.. A humorous, well-written, and entertaining account of a road trip undertaken by three American families traveling from Texas to California in 1957. It begins with a list of "Personae" including the Edens, Staples, and Hastings families, comprised of three couples with seven children ranging in age from 8 to 14. Despite dead car batteries and "trials and tribulations", the trip appears to have been a success, and included much sightseeing and a trip to Disneyland. A colorful view into an arch-typical 1950s American road trip full of good humor and Americana.
Twenty-four (24) pages of typescript, unbound. Measures 10.75" by 8.5", foliated. An excursion including various friends and family numbering 23 individuals. Chronicled several times each day. Includes camping trailers, sleeping under the stars, individual and group mishaps. Visits to the Grand Canyon Yosemite, a visit to the Sierra Club. Finally they arrive at Disneyland and describe all of the attractions. After only a day they are off to site seeing again on a slightly different route while heading back to Texas.
