A New York Car in Southern California

Charmingly written travel narrative by a woman who, along with her husband, toured Southern California by automobile in the early 20th century. They shipped their car from New York to California, then took the train themselves by way of New Orleans and the Grand Canyon.
She gives great descriptions of Los Angeles, Hollywood, driving down the coast to San Diego, California's missions, and much more. One black and white photographic illustration of Pala Mission tipped in.
Scarce, with only 2 copies located in institutions.
