    What is a Tony Hillerman "Carryall?" A Jeep, a Pickup, or a Van?

    I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out. A "Carryall" is broadly defined a "vehicle in which two seats face each other" and I find a golf cart like vehicle called that for sale. More searching revealed a bit of an autobiography in which the writer says he and his brother bought a carry-all...
