Ribbon Roads: A Motor Tour Abroad

By Augustus Trew Wood

Book Overview

Ribbon Roads: A Motor Tour Abroad is a travelogue written by Augustus Trew Wood and originally published in 1910. The book details Wood's experiences traveling through Europe in a motor car, which was a relatively new mode of transportation at the time. The journey takes readers through France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and other European countries, with descriptions of the scenery, architecture, and culture of each place visited. Wood also shares anecdotes about the challenges and joys of traveling by car, including encounters with other motorists and the difficulties of navigating unfamiliar roads. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century travel and the emergence of the automobile as a popular means of transportation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
