"The Van Dwellers: A Strenuous Quest for a Home" by Albert Bigelow Paine recounts an early 20th-century experiment in alternative living. Long before #vanlife became a social media trend, Paine embarked on a humorous and challenging road trip, seeking a life beyond the constraints of traditional city and town life. Part travelogue, part memoir, this engaging narrative details the ups and downs of camping and van dwelling across the United States.
More than just a historical record of a bygone era, "The Van Dwellers" offers timeless insights into the human desire for freedom and adventure. With a generous dose of wry humor, Paine chronicles the unexpected trials and simple joys of life on the open road. This republication preserves the original text, allowing readers to experience the journey exactly as it was first presented, capturing the spirit of early automotive travel and the allure of a nomadic existence. A charming and insightful look at a unique quest for home and self-discovery.
