  Visual Materials

  A photograph album documenting an automobile trip taken by friends across the western United States (with excursions into Canada and Tijuana, Mexico), during the summer of 1928. The first page is titled "Trip West 1928" and includes an image of an automobile covered with travel decals captioned: "Home after 10,000 miles." Photographs show the travelers visited many national parks, including Crater Lake, Yellowstone, Glacier, and Yosemite, as well as other tourist attractions such as Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Catalina Island, Hollywood, the Redwood Highway, Vancouver, and Canada's Waterton National Park. Some images show the unidentified young men dealing with automobile trouble, hiking in the mountains, camping, and posing with an "old" and "new" car. The majority of the snapshots were taken in the West, but there are some images of tourist attractions in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, all identified in handwritten captions. The album has three pages titled "My Pals" for autographs; several men and women signed their names and home towns, dated between 1929 and 1933.
