Margaret Walsh has spent 15 years researching and writing articles on the long-distance bus industry in the United States. This book presents the results of this labor. Walsh shows that the history of the long-distance bus industry is one of thousands of small enterprises begun because of limited capital requirements and demand for the service. She documents the growth of two major interstate firms, the difficulties of the Great Depression and the Second World War, the onset of federal regulation, the continuing problems of the last half century brought on by the continuing rise of the automobile and the building of the interstate highway system, the growth of air travel, and the important role played by women.
