Old travelers photo album from the 1920s. Belonged to a gentleman named Hugh M. They covered 4117 miles in 9 days! Shown in a very cool photo where they painted the distance of their trip on the back spare tire holder of the car (included in this lot). Also included are Old camp photos where they turned their car into a tent, great images of the Alamo, Yellowstone, Yosemite, various places in California including San Francisco and various old mission buildings, pikes peak, Colorado, and more! Please message us with any questions! We rescued these photos from an old barn, while the photos here are in good shape the paper backers are fragile and some have a musty odor.
