Excerpt from A Motor Scamper 'Cross Canada: A Human-Interest Narrative of a Pathfinding Journey From Montreal to VancouverAlthough the official pathfinder for The King's International Highway (one day to become the King's Canadian Highway), the experiences of our car Were those that come to the average motorist who attempts a long tour of his own directing from the atlas and the compass.The almost impassable country on the Upper Ottawa is now, according to advice from the Ontario Government, being roaded, and the extensive dip into Washington State will shortly be unnecessary owing to further road building in British Columbia. With these exceptions, and from carefully gathered informa tion on other roads, I conscientiously recommend this northern route as probably the best available trans continental road to-day, as it is without doubt the shortest, coolest and practically the only one free from desert areas.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
