Reviews"Belasco, an assistant professor of American studies at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, has produced a marvelously documented study of the evolution of American touring habits and of the infrastructure that arose to support them. His sources range from Emily Post ('By Motor to the Golden Gate,' 1916) to J. Edgar Hoover (who in 1940 denounced tourist courts as 'Camps of Crime' frequented by white slavers, promiscuous college students and worse). It all makes for lively social history...illustrated with a good selection of archival photographs." -Sarah Ferrell, The New York Times
