This work was published as a series of three articles in the \u003ci\u003eSaturday Evening Post\u003c\/i\u003e in December 1919 and January 1920-articles that are very difficult to find. We are proud to make this work generally available by being the first to publish it as a book. This is an unusual book for Sinclair Lewis because it is written with a different style of humor than his other books. \u003cp\u003eIt is the story of his travels around America in his Model T Ford. He sums up his wanderings when he says: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I remember Southern ferries where you help the ferryman to pole your way across the yellow stream; Western fords where you splash through a torrent and instantly shoot up a mountain rise; Tennessee cabins as aboriginal as in the days of Dan'l Boone; St. Ignatius, that Alpine town with unmistakably Italian convent and mission tower, which nevertheless is in Montana; old Rockbridge Alum Springs, where once the flower of Virginia and the Carolinas rode and danced and made love; young Mennonites in Pennsylvania with silky chin whiskers, grotesque under their pink cheeks; a Shaker settlement of vast barns in a valley between Albany and Pittsfield; a road between Bemidji and Duluth through pines impressive as columns of an Egyptian temple, broken only by infrequent clearings where Indians looked up from cultivating corn to hold up a stolid arm in greeting; cowpunchers riding range in Oregon-in chaps even to-day; the climb up out of Pittsburgh like crawling up the side of a smoking caldron.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sinclair Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941667163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941667163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Omo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.25d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sinclair Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937730035967,"sku":"9781941667163","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_03afa800-5de8-497b-8083-ac917ecb5ce6.jpg?v=1681431687","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adventures-in-autobumming-sinclair-lewis-9781941667163","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
