Here We Are...On Route 66

Here We Are...On Route 66 provides the fascinating histories of iconic landmarks and cultural touchstones associated with America's most famous highway—and celebrates lesser-known gems just off the beaten path. Spanning nearly 2,500 miles and eight states - Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California - America's Main Street has given rise to a colorful assortment of roadhouses, motels, greasy spoons, roadside amusements, and breathtaking natural scenery. Acclaimed Route 66 historian Jim Hinckley offers a carefully curated selection of these sites, ranging from the iconic to the revelatory. Arranged by classic Route 66 topics, it is a beautifully produced history rather than a guidebook. Each spread gives you a different 66 site or attraction, along with a concise and authoritative history illustrated with colorful photography, evocative historical imagery, and collectibles like postcards, ads, and more.
