O ovoj e-knjizi
Route 66 stretches across 178 miles and through seven counties in the Texas Panhandle. To a traveler on Interstate 40, the road may seem like an endless expanse, with the horizon interrupted only by the occasional grain elevator. But there is history, scenery, and adventure waiting on Route 66, which follows the trail of the Native Americans, conquistadors, cattle and oil barons, cowboys, and Dust Bowl refugees. With such sites as the blazing neon sign at Shamrocks U-Drop Inn and the quiet ruins of Glenrio, Route 66 in Texas is still The Main Street of America. The traveler who leaves the franchised blandness of the interstate will see motels with Western and Native American imagery, good old-fashioned tourist traps, some bizarre sculptures (such as cars stuck in the ground at Cadillac Ranch), and beautiful Art Deco structures. These images and stories tell of mom-and-pop establishments that still thrive today and those that are crumbling in the swirling dust and tumbleweeds of the notorious Jericho Gap.
O autoru
Joe Sonderman has collected hundreds of vintage images of Route 66 in Texas, including many never before published, to tell the story of a route celebrated in music, literature, and pop culture. Route 66 is more than just a road. Just like everything else in Texas, it is bigger and better!
