The Southwestern Indian Detours is a factual account of an adventure in tourism that reads like fiction. Designed by the Fred Harvey Organization and the Santa Fe Railway to entice transcontinental travelers to linger awhile in an ancient yet brand new world, they opened the Southwest not only to tourists in quest of a 'different' vacation, but to those who would become permanent residents as they traded crowded Eastern cities for the slower-paced charm of the American Southwest. An experiment in roughing it first class, the Indian Detours would present the American southwest to inquisitive Europeans, jaded American millionaires, students and average vacationers. Never again would such a great adventure be made so accessible in this country/ Travel the roads to yesterday with Diane Thomas; experience the enthusiasm of the fledging American motoring public, the seasoned train traveler, the timid explorer, as the Indian Detours introduce the magic enchantment of a colorful land to millions of 'dudes'.
