Description

Would you like to go on an automobile adventure in Arizona in 1913? On August 29, 1913, chemist Clarence N. Boynton and his friend and soon-to-be business partner, physician William Warner Watkins, along with their wives and the Watkins' nine-month-old daughter set out on a driving trip in Dr. Watkins new 1913 Studebaker open touring car. The trip was planned to cover a circle of approximately 1,000 miles in central Arizona. It was "no country for an auto." It has been said that Dr. Watkins was an "Autoist," a man enthusiastic about automobiles and "motoring." When he and Clarence Boynton planned their automobile trip on the "good roads" of Arizona in 1913, they were setting out on an adventure. Leaving their home base in Phoenix, the travelers headed west past Glendale, on to Peoria, and, at Castle Hot Springs Junction, took a detour to Castle Hot Springs, where they enjoyed the hot springs, hotel and hot meals. They traveled on to the Grand Canyon, Strawberry, Pine, Payson and Roosevelt, and took the Apache Trail back to the Salt River Valley. Throughout, Clarence Boynton described the route of the trip, the stories about the places they visited, the trials and tribulations of auto travel, the hospitable and not so hospitable people they met and the assistance they received along the way. The trip took 36 days. An Arizona Auto Adventure: Clarence Boynton's 1913 Travelogue is based on the "account" Clarence Boynton kept during the trip. The travelogue is well written, interesting and really gives the reader an idea of what road travel was like in the fall of 1913 in Arizona. This is a unique story told by a man who was very involved in the trip - as a driver, mechanic and chronicler of the trip. Mr. Boynton tells not only his own story, but that of Dr. Watkins and their wives, baby Merial and that of the "machine," the 1913 Studebaker. So, come along for the ride, the adventure and the trials and tribulations of auto travel in Arizona in 1913.
