Trains, Plains & Automobiles: Cleveland to California and Back

By Thomas A. Marquard

In 1920 a wealthy widowed father of 12 takes his family on summer vacation across the Great Plains by train and automobile with many notable stops in between. The odyssey is delightfully narrated in his eldest son's journal including the now historic photos he took along the way. But did the ailing journalist suspect the real reason for the trip? The book is loaded with transportation and travel history at the dawn of the Roaring Twenties in many of the USA's greatest cities and attractions.
