As summer winds down, millions of Americans are packing their bags
and hitting the road. In this episode of BackStory, Peter, Ed and
Brian explore the history of American tourism.  We’ll hear how
asylums and prisons were popular tourist destinations in the 19th
century, and how the tiny community of Gettysburg, PA became a
tourist town just days after the bloody battle. We’ll also look
back on a western mountain resort that catered exclusively to black
Americans during the era of segregated travel, and we’ll explore
the links between tourism and the development of a national
identity.
