Description
In 1919, maps were less detailed than they are today. Route numbers, rest stops, motels, and restaurants were not well-charted. Instead, a map might show which fork in the road to take or when to follow railroad tracks. Two young men, Jim and Bill Kackeison, set off on an adventure from New York State to San Francisco, California, guided only by their compass. Their journey took them through miles of wilderness, where they encountered wolves and mountain lions. Along the way, they met people who were kind and willing to lend a helping hand. However, illness and financial difficulties forced them to change their route. Despite these challenges, Jim and Bill were determined to enjoy every aspect of their trip. Their adventure offered them glimpses into American life at a time when it was changing rapidly for everyone. By sharing their experiences, they gave readers a unique insight into the country's people and places during this pivotal era.
