Alice Ramsey loves driving, not something women pursue in 1909! The Maxwell-Briscoe Company asks her to drive across the United States to promote its cars. She and her companions, Hermine and sisters-in-law-Nettie and Maggie, begin in New York City in June and drive, with many challenges, to San Fransico by August.
Author's note includes more information about Alice and also Rt. 66.
An inspiring story!
