About This Book

A rural matron and her family undertake their first automobile vacation to the Yellowstone country, and the narrative follows their camp life, roadside mishaps, and the matron's amused, candid reflections on changing times. Through lively sketches of the family's characters—practical yet energetic husband, daughters in new attire—and of dozens of similar vacationers, the narrator records humorous social types, park overcrowding, and the clash between modern conveniences and rustic habits. Scenes alternate between affectionate portraiture and satirical observations about leisure, consumerism, and the democratic scramble to experience wild landscapes.
