1929. Illustrated with photographs by the author. The author of this unique American travel book spent many years mining in Arizona in the days when guns were toted and he has since traveled extensively in the Southwest. His book is packed with personal experiences of the Old West. At the same time, he does not limit himself to the West of yesterday, but capably presents the equally fascinating West of today. Mr. Trego was a pioneer of the good roads movement in the United States. The initial step was taken in 1913 when the Lincoln Highway was laid out. He was the original engineer of that great coast-to-coast highway. For many years he has contributed to technical and travel magazines and has been an ardent student of the Great Southwest. The historical facts set down in his book have been chosen only after careful consideration of their direct relation to the country described. One of the notable features of this volume is the wealth of illustrations contained in it. These pictures afford the traveler a comprehensive and beautiful photographic record of one of the most picturesque and interesting trips to be made in America.
