Excerpt from A Journey Through the United States and Part of Canada The boats (of this Cunard line) have better ma chinery, it is said, than their American competitors; they are, however, inferior in the models of their hulls. The English mind in the matter of ship-building, as in many other respects, is as dogged as the Chinese, and with difficulty accepts the improvements which modern science has suggested. Of the two, the Americans have made the shortest average passages, and are the more popular, not only with foreigners, but with the English themselves. Provisions were abundant and excellent on board, but the attendance next to none, and the crowding unpleasant.

It started in the heartland and originally ended in Los Angeles (not, contrary to myth, at the ocean). It carried truckers crossing the country, Okies fleeing the Dust Bowl, vacationers seeking the sun. It was Americas Main Street, the Mother Road, the Will Rogers Highway, and, at its dangerous curves, Bloody 66. Get your kicks on Route 66 with this wonderfully illustrated tribute to the best-loved highway in this car-loving nation. Michael Witzel shares his expertise and wealth of personal, archive, collector, and contributing photographer images in these pages, offering a nostalgic tour of the charms and oddities of this road through American cultural history. Starting in Chicago and running to Santa Monica, this book highlights the sights along the highway with historic and current photos in then-and-now pairings, and includes Route 66 postcards, road signs, trinkets, maps, brochures, and advertisements. Here we see Route 66 as it was in its heyday and as it is now, the neon glamour of yesterday versus the ghost towns of today. Witzel and his wife, Gyvel Young-Witzel, recount the highways history, its role in popular culture, and its demise, as well as the individual stories of famous sights. Several profiles of those with close ties to the Mother Road, including the woman who played Ruthie Joad in the The Grapes of Wrath film, are included.

Excerpt from A Tour in the States Canada: Out and Home in Six Weeks The new world is naturally a source of great interest to most English people, and there are few in the old country who have not friends or relatives in America. Much has been said and written of that country, but it covers such a vast area, its progress has been so rapid, and its future is so promising, that the subject is far from being yet exhausted. A run over to the States is a matter of far less importance, in these days of travel, than a journey from York to London was considered fifty years ago. In the way of many, however, who would like to see for themselves the state of things across the Atlantic, there are many obstacles, and to aid in the removing of a few of these, and to give some practical and useful information, has been the aim of.

Excerpt from Three Months in Canada and the United States The following pages contain various incidents and particulars of my trip in America and Canada, chiefly collected from a journal which I kept during my tour. My manuscript which I arranged, was seen only by a few of you, as having made a resolution to put it into print I withdrew it. I have no wish to magnify in the least degree what I have been able to aecom plish in the following pages; however, I must say that the production of the same has cost me much time and labour. I am only delighted that I have been so far successful in making a completion of this book, for it has seemed to me many times almost beyond my powers.
