This book celebrates the hardy pioneers who took their Locomoblies, Pierce-Arrows and Cadillacs into the Southwest sagebrush in search of adventure, camping out in dry arroyos and pioneering automobile touring, including future President Dwight D. Eisenhower. There is also a section on Gen. "Black Jack" Pershing's first-ever motorized military chase -- going after Pancho Villa who invaded Columbus, N.M one morning. With chapter on the Santa Fe and the Fred Harvey Indian Detours. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos.
