In the late 1930s and early 1940s, thanks to the automobile and paved roads, Bishop and millions of Americans were able to travel and see the United States as previous generations had not been able to do.  Below, inn this 1939 photo Charles Pugh (far left) of Irondale and close friend of Bishop's stand with The Rev. Stewart Butten (far right), having just returned from a Methodist retreat in Knoxville, Tennessee.



 Notice the street at 2300 3rd Avenue, North, Irondale, Alabama is unpaved.  Third Avenue would be paved, ironically, during World War II.  The Ulyss Holliman home is in the background.  The automobile has a running board.  And what natty dressers just returning from a trip, still in white shirts, ties and oh, those white shoes!  A month or so later, Bishop would write the above letter to himself.
