Abstract:

In response to a student question about information on driving for pleasure, The Rambler offers a history of driving for pleasure in the United States. The Rambler includes the discomforts of early travel, moving into changing attitudes towards driving with improvements in roads, and a history of scenic roads, scenic road programs, and scenic byways in the United States. The Rambler concludes with a discussion on the psychology of seeing. Several references for further research are included.
