1927. Softcover. Fading to some of the photographs but most are not too bad. Very Good. Decorated suede covers (9-1/4" x 6-1/2") with a rawhide tie containing 94 4-1/4" x 3-1/2" original photographs captioned in white ink on the album pages and 6 4" x 6" commercial photographs with captions in the negatives, all documenting an automobile trip out west, starting in or near Indiana. Photographs include stops in Kansas, New Mexico (Native Americans at Santa Domingo and a Zuni Reservation near Gallup), Colorado (Pike's Peak), Arizona (Grand Canyon), California (Yosemite and San Francisco), Oregon, Washington, Idaho (Gold Hunter Mine), Montana (Missoula Auto Camp), many photos of Yellowstone, Wyoming, and South Dakota. A few of the photographs at the end of the album, dated the same summer, are of Chicago and Niagara Falls. A number of the photographs are now loose from the album. The photographers/travelers are a group of 4 or 5 young women in what must have been something of a daring adventure at the time. Two photos show them repairing flats, and several show them with people they meet along the way.
