Alice's Drive
Republishing 'Veil, Duster, and Tire Iron'
by Alice Ransey
In 1909, Alice Ramsey, a 22-year-old mother from Hackensack, NJ, became the first woman to drive an automobile from coast to coast. Leaving 1930 Broadway in Manhattan on June 9, she arrived in San Francisco on August 7. More than 50 years later she wrote this charming book about it. Our reprint is annotated with 108 notes and "Chasing Alice" by Gregory M. Franzwa, describing her exact route in 1909 relative to today's highways. With 264 pages, more than 100 historical photos, maps and a comprehensive index. (Published by Nevada Publications in 2005 ~ Shipped by publisher.)
