Very good, very good. 317, illus., notes, index, slight wear to DJ, slight creasing to DJ edges. How presidential travel has reflected and shaped the changing relationship between American presidents and the American people. While presidents now travel more widely, they have paradoxically become more remote from the people; travel now dramatizes the distance that separates the president from the people and reinforces the image of a regal presidency. There are many references to Theodore Roosevelt's travels--at Oyster Bay, in Panama, by railroad, his travel expenses, and presidential protection on his travels.
