Route 66

100 Years

Jim Hinckley,

About this book

Commemorate 100 years of America’s “Mother Road” with this enthralling trip through the past, present, and future of Route 66.

The most iconic road in American history is turning 100. Over the past century, Route 66 has far surpassed its original prosaic purpose as an automotive thoroughfare from Chicago to Los Angeles, becoming a pop culture icon embedded in literature, song, film, and (most significantly) our imagination. It remains so even decades after the Interstate system mostly bypassed it. Route 66: 100 Years offers the ultimate road trip from veteran Route 66 author and historian Jim Hinckley and the expert panel of Mother Road historians assembled for the richly illustrated journey. The book features:

Essays about the history of Route 66 in each of the eight states through which it passes (Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California), written by Route 66 experts from those states
Period and contemporary photographs of legendary must-see attractions
Images of memorabilia from throughout ten decades and maps
Sidebar features, including appearances in popular culture, side trips, sites past and present, strange occurrences, and profiles of the people who continue to make 66 a popular destination for travelers from around the world

The National Register of Historic Places lists more than 250 stops along "America's Main Street." Let Route 66: 100 Years ignite your wanderlust to join the millions of Americans in exploring the locations and embarking on road trips anchored in history and nostalgia. Local experts from each state guide you with boots-on-the-ground knowledge, insights, tips, and more.

Get your kicks on Route 66 like never before!
