Summary: needs a map-based index
Review: Every word of every historical marker - nice idea. But the markers are in alphabetical order by whatever the nearest tiny little town may be. The book desperately needs some sort of map system whereby you can look up all of the markers in a given region, say. I'm glad I got this book out of the library, so I can give it back.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: I wish I had thought of this idea. As you are traveling through Texas, just look up the roadside markers in the area by city or county. You can learn so much, and you don't have to take the time off your trip by stopping when you don't want too. It makes a long trip across Texas, or just sitting in your living room, a good time. To the review that says it needed a map, yes it could have. It likely would have added a lot of pages and cost to this book. Can you imagine trying to have a detailed map for the backroads some of these markers are on? For the rest of us, the book explains clearly the location in relation to highways and roads for each marker. Just look up the highways and roads on your own map if you want to go there, and you can get there.
