Description
This handy guidebook to the roads of New York, designed to conveniently fit inside a glovebox, was published in 1916 by the Automobile Club of Buffalo. Rather than presenting a comprehensive system of well-paved highways, the volume contains turn-by-turn directions for dozens of predetermined routes. Distances between points are noted, along with brief descriptions of major landmarks, offering a fascinating glimpse into the landscape experienced by early motorists. Accompanying strip maps provide a basic geographic overview, rather than intimate details on road conditions, distances, or local traveler amenities. The book concludes with a condensed road map of New York and a basic plan of Buffalo that identifies the primary thoroughfares out of the city.
