DESCRIPTION: Lange and Tayor deliver the manuscript for An American Exodus to the publisher before embarking on a three-week field trip to the Pacific Northwest, covering more than a thousand miles from northern California through Oregon and Washington. Parts of US 99, the main highway between California and Western Oregon, are still unpaved, and a new route through the mountains is under construction. Germany and USSR sign a non-aggression pact.
