Fireside travels in North America

I have the original 1st edition printed in 1948, bound in leather. The author descibes North American life and the countryside at that time as he travels the continent. He begins in Alaska, travels through Canada and each section of the USA. The book includes photos and maps on each area and information provided by important residents of each area. The book documents the way of life, the industry, and agriculture of the times as it varies from region to region.
