Demobilised in 1946, she set out in search of fun and freedom in America and found herself swept into a bright and glamorous social circle. She soon counted Joe Alsop and the Cushing Sisters among her new friends and even began to consider becoming a US citizenIn 1949, determined to understand America more deeply, Judy embarked on a three-month tour of the country by Greyhound bus. Letters of introduction opened doors to a range of encounters, capturing an extraordinary moment at the height of the Anglo-American alliance. At each stop, Judy met newspaper editors, political leaders, and celebrities. In Texas - where she rode in a rodeo - she was the guest of Jesse H. Jones in Houston and Amon Carter in Fort Worth. In Hollywood, she had tea with Mary Pickford, and by the time she reached Illinois, her final state, she met and fell in love with Adlai Stevenson. As a cousin of Clementine Churchill, Judy's travels attracted regular press attention, adding another dimension to the diary.“We’re not just recommending books out here, we’re also sharing the recommendations we get. No less than two friends have told T&C that we simply must dive into this new release, a diary from a British aristocrat who took a 1949 bus trip across the United States.” ––Best Books of October - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-orleans/the-greyhound-diary/100001916219497099 - **Event Categories**: parties, entertainment, rodeo - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 33.54, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New Orleans - **state**: LA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Garden District Book Shop - **lat**: 29.9302073 - **long**: -90.0849707 - **full address**: The Garden District Book Shop, 2727 Prytania Street, New Orleans, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Greyhound Diary - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/0e83bd0cada59b7e1e8221769296ecd342fdb60790386cd2391f5618112f49b8-rimg-w333-h500-dc16275d-gmir.jpg?v=1762104378 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Greyhound Diary being held? - **A:** The Greyhound Diary takes place on Sat, 08 Nov, 2025 at 05:00 pm to Sat, 08 Nov, 2025 at 08:00 pm at The Garden District Book Shop, 2727 Prytania Street, New Orleans, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Greyhound Diary? - **A:** The Greyhound Diary is organized by Garden District Book Shop. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
