About the book

In «By Motor to the Golden Gate,» Emily Post utilizes her characteristic wit and keen observation to capture the essence of early 20th-century American travel. Written in a lively narrative style, the book chronicles Post's cross-country journey from New York to San Francisco, interweaving reflections on the landscapes, cultures, and social nuances encountered along the way. Set against the backdrop of the burgeoning automobile culture, it serves as both a travelogue and a social commentary, elucidating the evolving nature of leisure, mobility, and American identity during a transformative era. Emily Post, renowned primarily for her influential work on etiquette, drew upon her own life experiences—marked by a passion for travel and social interaction—to pen this evocative account. Her transition from a celebrated social arbiter to a travel writer reflects her multifaceted interests and the changing norms of her time. Through this journey, she emphasizes the importance of decorum and adaptable social behavior, key themes in her later writings on etiquette. For readers seeking an engaging blend of historical insight and personal narrative, «By Motor to the Golden Gate» offers a delightful exploration of America's roads and social landscapes, making it a treasured addition to any literary collection.
