This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. Dixon drove cross-country with two photographers on a great journey of discovery from Boston to the west coast and back. Rather than a dry travelog, her sense of fun and adventure are obvious in every page. – Summary by LynneT
