Author Warren James Belasco begins his study with the earliest days of automobile travel in America, when travelers camped wherever they stopped along the roadside, which led to the growth in the 1920s of free municipal campsites. The cost of building and maintaining these campsites forced towns to charge a fee, and soon entrepreneurs took over with restaurants and lodgings. Thus the motel industry was born. 31 illustrations.Using travel magazines, trade journals and diaries, this text explores the use of cars in America and shows how autocamping as an inexpensive, individualistic recreational sport gave birth to the motel, a nationally standardized roadside business.
