| Summary | "It Might Have Been Worse: A Motor Trip from Coast to Coast" by Beatrice Larned Massey is a travel narrative written during the early 20th century. This engaging account chronicles Massey's ambitious journey across the United States, from New York City to San Francisco, in a newly purchased car. The book aims to serve not only as a road map and guide for fellow travelers but also to encapsulate the experiences and insights gained along the way, showcasing the diverse landscapes and cultures encountered throughout the expansive terrain. At the start of the narrative, Massey details her motivations for embarking on the trip, sparked by reading another travel book. She discusses her preparations and the emotional atmosphere surrounding the departure, emphasizing the excitement despite challenges such as lingering rain. Alongside her husband and two friends, the party navigates various detours, recounting the joys and frustrations of their motor journey. The opening sections set the stage for an adventure filled with camaraderie, humor, the beauty of American landscapes, and the inevitable bumps in the road—both literal and metaphorical.
