Retracing The Pioneers: From West To East In An Automobile (1910) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781166946555)

Retracing The Pioneers: From West To East In An Automobile is a book written by Hugo Alois Taussig, first published in 1910. The book is a travelogue that documents the author's journey across America, from San Francisco to New York City, in an automobile. Taussig's journey was inspired by the pioneers who had traveled the same route in covered wagons during the 19th century. He wanted to experience the same sense of adventure and freedom that they had felt, but with the added convenience and speed of a modern automobile. The book is divided into chapters that correspond to each leg of Taussig's journey, and he describes the landscapes, towns, and people he encounters along the way. He also reflects on the changes that America had undergone since the pioneer days, and how the automobile was transforming the country in new and exciting ways. Retracing The Pioneers is a fascinating snapshot of America at the turn of the 20th century, and a testament to the enduring spirit of exploration and adventure that has driven people across the continent for centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
