My Family’s 1918 and 1919 Cross-Country Road Trips

The Schenck family’s 1918 and 1919 cross-country trips in a Hudson Super Six took place when roads were unpaved, signage was minimal, and communication from home was restricted to hit-or-miss General Delivery. Meals could be procured along the way by hunting and fishing. An historic drought in Texas, bandits at the Mexican border, massive wildfires in the Idaho, and a quicksand river in Nevada are among the highlights of this Ohio family’s road trip adventures.
