Route 66 Chronicles: Volume I Shadows of the Past Over Route 66 Arizona - New Mexico

Rating:
Summary: Refreshing Insight
Review: I just finished Route 66 Chronicles and found the book to be a wonderful collection of stories that take the reader to a new level of understanding and appreciation of the "Mother Road". Unlike many of its predecessors, Chronicles vividly reveals the human side of the small towns and people who grew up along this famous hiway. The author's insight into the character and soul of the "Old West" in the 1930's and 1940's, brings us back to a special time in American history. The next time I drive from Los Angeles to Chicago, I'll have a deeper appreciation of what lies beyond the red mesas and little trading posts.
