A Spy on the Bus: Memoir of a Company Rat
by Margean Gladysz
“ There will never be another book like this. There simply could not be another Margean Gladysz, who as a young woman was paid by Greyhound, Trailways and other companies to ride buses thousands of miles all over the country in the 1940’s. She was there to spot and report back on drunk, stealing, reckless and nutty bus drivers who should be fired. And its all in her diary-like letters that she sent home at the time. A Spy on the Bus is a treat and a half. I promise.
”
Jim Lehrer, PBS NewHour anchor.

"The old roads have soul
They follow the contour of the land, around the hills, down into the valleys. They trace Indian and pioneer trails, the real country, the old country."
