Photograph album of automobile road trips across the United States and into Mexico
Visual Materials
An album of 296 snapshot photographs documenting two excursions by automobile across the United States and into Mexico in the late 1930s by a group of young men who appear to have been students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, Massachusetts. The first trip, in July and August of 1937, includes numerous scenes in Washington, D.C., Tennessee, Alabama, Texas, Mexico, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Utah, Wyoming, and New York. Their travels involved stops at the Tennessee Valley Authority power station at Muscle Shoals, Alabama; Carlsbad Caverns National Park; Grand Canyon National Park; Boulder Dam; Death Valley; Sequoia and Yosemite national parks; Yellowstone National Park; and Niagara Falls. In Mexico, they toured the capital and saw a bullfight. The majority of photographs have handwritten captions in white pencil describing locations. Other images depict collegiate sports, including track and golf, and some mountain climbing. Another western excursion in 1938 includes visits to the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas, Colorado locations, and another visit to Yosemite National Park. The remaining photographs consist of views of the WPI campus, the destructive impact of the 1938 New England hurricane, and stops at unidentified hydroelectric engineering sites.
