California Caravan: Or, The Yosemite Yokels - A trip to Disneyland from Texas

United States, 1957. Very good. Toned, one or two nicks, short tears.. A humorous, well-written, and entertaining account of a road trip undertaken by three American families traveling from Texas to California in 1957. It begins with a list of "Personae" including the Edens, Staples, and Hastings families, comprised of three couples with seven children ranging in age from 8 to 14. Despite dead car batteries and "trials and tribulations", the trip appears to have been a success, and included much sightseeing and a trip to Disneyland. A colorful view into an arch-typical 1950s American road trip full of good humor and Americana.
