    About this ebook

    Walt Seymour took a road trip with a friend from Madison, Wisconsin, across the United States and Canada, and then down into Mexico and back home in 1926.

    He was only sixteen years old, and he kept a diary and photographs of his travels that his son would ultimately discoverand in a bid to reconnect with and pay tribute to his father, the son set out on his own journey, stopping at the same places his father did decades before.

    The result is two different diaries whose entries show the changes that happen over time, the delight we experience in visiting new places, and the special bonds that fathers have with their sons.
