""By Motor To The Golden Gate"" is a travelogue written by Emily Post, originally published in 1916. The book chronicles Post's journey from New York City to San Francisco, which she undertook with her son and a chauffeur in a custom-built automobile. Along the way, Post describes the landscapes, cities, and people she encounters, as well as the challenges and joys of traveling by car in the early 20th century. The book also includes numerous photographs and illustrations of the trip.
