This is what leading historians have to say about Alice Ramsey:

"By being the first woman to drive a car across the United States in 1909, Alice Ramsey proved without doubt that America’s burgeoning love affair with the new-fangled horseless carriage and the open road applied equally to both sexes. Alice’s Drive puts us in the front seat of her brand new Maxwell DA to join in her grand and historic adventure."

—Dayton Duncan, author of Horatio’s Drive: America’s First Road Trip; Out West: A Journey through Lewis and Clark’s America; and several other books about American history.

"Thanks to The Patrice Press, we now have Alice Ramsey’s hard-to-find book in beautiful form, with extras spilling out of the rumble seat. With maps, then-and-now photos and postcards, and marvelous contemporary newspaper articles, it makes me want to follow her tire tracks all over again, from sea to shining sea!"

—David Haward Bain, author of Empire Express and The Old Iron Road

"Alice Ramsey’s 1909 adventure had the effect of opening the famed Lincoln Highway just four years later. The Patrice Press edition not only reprints and annotates her book about her adventure, but adds more than 100 pages of explanatory material. Truly a tour de force!"

—Chris Plummer, national president, Lincoln Highway Association

"Like millions of American women before her and since, Alice Ramsey did something brave, adventurous, and now largely forgotten. This fine book brings her back to life, gives us context for her journey, and reminds us that women have taken to the road with every bit as much gusto as men."

—Drake Hokanson, writer and photographer, is the author of Lincoln Highway: Main Street across America and other books
