By Motor To The Golden Gate is a travelogue written by Emily Post, originally published in 1916. The book chronicles Post's journey from New York City to San Francisco, which she undertook with her son and a chauffeur in a custom-built automobile. Along the way, Post describes the landscapes, cities, and people she encounters, as well as the challenges and joys of traveling by car in the early 20th century. The book also includes numerous photographs and illustrations of the trip. In addition to being a fascinating account of early automobile travel, By Motor To The Golden Gate offers a glimpse into the social and cultural attitudes of the time, as well as the author's own wit and humor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
