Now Russell Olsen's best-selling collections featuring Route 66 filling stations, main streets, motor courts, cafés, campgrounds, honky-tonks, truck stops, and barbecue joints as they appeared both in their heyday and today is available in one package. For more than 30 years, Route 66 was America's main east-west artery, pointing the nation toward all the promise that California represented. To serve these travelers, Route 66 boasted bustling commercial hubs, many of which remain today, many more of which crumbled long ago. All of the sites included here--150 in all--are shown both during their mid-century heydays and as they appear today. Taken together, the marvelous visual and descriptive elements assembled here--period postcards and imagery, specially commissioned maps, and Olsen's own photography and capsule histories of the sites featured--comprise a unique, state-by-state look back at America's Main Street.
