American Historical Association Session on New Directions in The History of the Automobile in America

Hi folks -- what follows is the proof page of a session that will be held in San Diego at the American Historical Association Annual Meeting on January, 9, 2010. All of the presenters have written books that are at the very cutting edge of automotive history, and I heartily recommend that you get copies of their books for late summer reading.
