Visual Materials
A travel album of 465 photographs, which the compiler called "1947 Trip West, 6,860 miles," on the first page. The photographs of this automobile road trip include natural scenery, motels, and roadside attractions across the United States, including Ohio, Wisconsin, and Kansas, with a focus on the national parks and monuments in the West. The photographs are a mixture of commercially produced images copyrighted to "Sanborn" and snapshots by the traveler, with several pages devoted to the Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest in Arizona, Bryce Canyon and Zion in Utah, Yellowstone in Wyoming, and the Badlands in South Dakota. Most photographs are captioned, and some captions include detailed descriptions of events or places. Of note are examples of "indian villages" designed for tourists, such as buildings identified as "Indian pueblo, Wisconsin Dells" with a sign advertising times for an "indian dance, free admission," and a tipi-shaped gas station in Lawrence, Kansas.
