An account by Thomas W. Wilby of his pioneering 1912 cross-Canada motor journey from Halifax to Victoria — at the time of publication, the first such transcontinental tour by automobile, and the first crossing of the Canadian Rockies by car. Published simultaneously in London by John Lane, The Bodley Head, in New York by John Lane Company, and in Toronto by Bell & Cockburn, the book is illustrated with 31 photographic plates. It occupies an established place in the literature of early motoring exploration and in Canadian transport history.
