Arthur Jerome Eddy (1859–1920) was an astute American lawyer, art collector, and writer, remembered today not just for his legal expertise but also for his significant contributions to the literary and artistic world. Born in Flint, Michigan, Eddy showed a keen intellect from a young age and proceeded to ascend the ranks of the legal profession. However, his passions were not confined to the courtroom; he held a pronounced appreciation for the burgeoning automotive industry and the art currents of his time. Eddy”s work “Two Thousand Miles on an Automobile” is a captivating narrative that chronicles his adventurous journey across the country in the early days of motoring, offering invaluable insights into the era”s pioneering spirit and the American landscape as experienced from behind the wheel of a then-novel automobile (Eddy, 1902). His literary style often melded informative content with vivid description, bringing to life the varied experiences and places he encountered. While not as widely known as his contemporaries for literary prowess, Eddy”s works remain a valuable and evocative window into the sensibilities and innovations of the turn-of-the-century America.
