Excerpt from Retracing Pioneers From West to East in an Automobile F I have failed to devote space in the following pages to descriptions of the country we travelled through and the people we met, it must not be inferred that we were unobserving. The truth is, that crossing the Ameri can Continent affords one but little variety of incident. AS for the people we met, I can truthfully say that we met no Indians on our way across the Continent, and that the country harbored no such people as our interesting Cali fornia '49er, the ubiquity of the railroad having made the entire people as one, and the numberless hotels mitigating against meeting with the old time hospitality of the farmer. The trans-continental trip was made under our own power, with robert R. Sherman at the wheel, and with occasional assistance from my travelling companions henry E. Biggles and thomas J. Kelly.
