The first in-depth look at post-World War II family travel, Rugh’s study recounts how postwar prosperity and mass consumption–abetted by paid vacation leave, car ownership, and the new interstate highway system–forged the ritual of the family road trip and how that ritual became entwined with what it meant to be an American. Until the 1970s recession ended three decades of prosperity and the traditional nuclear family began to splinter, these family vacations were securely woven into the fabric of American life.
