Route 66 by Russell A Olsen
Much more than just a ribbon of crumbling asphalt, Route 66 today appeals to the world for its nostalgia value - for the promise that Steinbeck's Mother Road once held and the places that stood alongside it. As the highway has declined into disuse, so too have the countless establishments that sprouted up from Illinois to California to cater to weary travelers and hopeful vacationers alike. Motor courts, cafes, main streets, filling stations, and greasy spoons - all are represented in this new book featuring dozens of lost-and-found sites not featured in photographer and author Russ Olsen's first volume. As does its predecessor, this new installment presents 75 locations along the Mother Road's entire 2,297 miles, showing them both during their heydays as seen in black-and-white photographs taken for period postcards, and as they appear today from the same angle and also with black-and-white photographs. Each site featured is accompanied by a detailed capsule history tracing the locale's rise and fall, as well as an exclusive map pointing out its location along Route 66.
Russ Olsen began exploring Route 66 in 1995 when he shot 27 rolls of film on his first trip down the Mother Road. His work can be seen at www.route66lost andfound.com
