Begun in 1926 to connect Chicago to Los Angeles, Route 66 was the country`s first major east-west thoroughfare. By 1930 it was an important route for both truckers & travellers alike, & in 1939 it became known as ` The Mother Road` thanks to John Steinbeck`s classic ” The Grapes of Wrath”. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of Americans travelled this great road
- from those heading west during the Great Depression to postwar families taking road trips across the country
- but by the 1970s four-lane highways, expressways, & tollways had largely supplanted it, & Route 66 fell into disrepair. In this book, authority David Knudson traces the fascinating story of The Mother Road from origins to decline, including the roadside attractions & cottage industries it spawned & the efforts to save & restore it.
