- Notes
- "By F.H. Eva Hasell, Author of 'Across the Prairie in a Motor Caravan'."
- "Illustrated from photographs by the author".
- "This book contains the record of Miss Hasell's last three tours, the first one being described in 'Across the Prairie'. Two points, perhaps, require explanation -- the perils and difficulties of the road, and the amount of mechanical motoring detail given. The first is accounted for by the fact that Miss Hasell habitually takes her van into parts hitherto deemed inaccessible for such a heavy vehicle, and she follows trails which the local people who direct her have perhaps only traversed with a wagon; in short, she is always ready to attempt the impossible if that is the only way to reach some isolated family. .... She is, of course, an exceptionally skilful driver, with a licence dating from 1914. She is also a practical mechanic, hence the intimate details of her car's intestines. She is writing for other practical motorists -- which all who would travel much in Western Canada must be -- and therefore she minutely describes difficulties encountered and how she dealt with them". -- Intro.
