White (land transportation history, Smithsonian Institute) chronicles over half a century of individual and industry efforts to make houses on wheels. Drawing on contemporary descriptions and interviews with motorists and manufacturers, he documents the wooden house cars of the late 1910s and early 1920s, the streamlined metal vehicles of the late 1940s, and a variety of converted trailers and vans that emerged from the vacation boom of the 1950s and 1960s. Of course he includes many photographs. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
