Summary "Westward Hoboes: Ups and Downs of Frontier Motoring" by Winifred Hawkridge Dixon is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows two women, Toby and the unnamed narrator, as they embark on an extensive adventure across the American Southwest in their Cadillac, seeking discovery and artistic inspiration along the way. Their journey unfolds through both whimsical and tumultuous encounters with the varied landscapes and cultures of Texas and beyond. The opening of the memoir introduces the main characters and sets the stage for their journey. The narrator, who is half-owner of the Cadillac, is joined by Toby, a budding artist who has just learned to drive. They decide to forgo conventional train travel in favor of a more liberating—but ultimately unpredictable—road trip filled with the promise of exploration and discovery. Their initial optimism leads to humorous and challenging situations, as they confront the realities of motoring through unfamiliar and often rugged terrain, hinting at the adventurous and comical experiences that await them throughout their travels.
