Book Review

Going Places: Transportation Redefines the Twentieth-Century West. By Carlos Arnaldo Schwantes. (Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2003. xix + 419 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $39.95.)

First things first: this is a beautiful book, amply illustrated with scores of photographs, many of which sprawl across two pages. The visual tour that Carlos Schwantes provides in Going Places, an offering from Indiana University Press's The American West in the Twentieth Century Series, is a stunning one. But the narrative, anecdotal and at times unfocused, only partly fulfills the promise of Schwantes's subtitle: to show how transportation redefined the West in the twentieth century.
