Women of legend, the influence of Indigenous America, neon-splashed boulevards, tourist traps, motor courts, trading posts, and heroes both remembered and forgotten—all these and more await discovery between these covers. Beautifully illustrated with hundreds of photographs, many of them vintage, the saga of Route 66 is uniquely told in a compelling narrative that celebrates the centennial of the route and pays homage to all whose lives were shaped or changed by the route.
For longtime Route 66 enthusiasts and even first-time explorers of the Mother Road, this commemorative book offers a timeless journey through a century of American history. Regarded as respected ambassadors and historians on everything Route 66, Jim and Shellee have authored or coauthored numerous books on the route. Between national preservation awards and decades of study, their lifelong dedication brings depth and authenticity to this centennial tribute.
