Review

'... offers a serviceable introduction to the history of the US bus industry.' H-Net Reviews 'For over fifteen years, Margaret Walsh,... has traversed the United States in search of sources on the long-distance bus industry. This compilation of her previously published articles - with some new material - is a happy occasion for transportation, social, cultural, and business historians of modern America.' The Journal of American History 'In all respects this is a fine book.' Journal of economic History '... offers a very interesting account of the intercity bus industry in the US.' Choice '... a meticulously researched volume... adds greatly to our knowledge of a previously neglected area. It also makes a significant contribution to our understanding of economic and social change in modern America.' History '... essential study for students rounding out their knowledge of American transportation. The text is supported by a full bibliography... well illustrated...' Journal of American Studies '... an excellent introduction to the history of the American intercity bus industry, from its formative years at the beginning of the twentieth century up to deregulation in the early eighties... thoroughly researched... covers an overlooked, largely undocumented portion of American history... Walsh has succeeded in bringing to light, and making widely available, material that will be of interest to business historians and transportation historians alike. Furthermore, she has presented the material in a well-organized, accessible, and easy-to-read package.' Business History Review
