5.0 out of 5 stars An essential for Lincoln Highway buffs, particularly in PA, June 25, 1998

This review is from: Pa Traveler's Guide to the Lincoln Highway (Pennsylvania Traveler's Guide) (Paperback)

Yes, those Rt. 66 folks have their road, but *the* primier highway of roadside Americana is the Lincoln Highway. Butko's book is an ideal guide to the Pennsylvania portion of the Lincoln Highway, pointing out most every present or defunct business, bypassed or neglected right-of-way, and historical point of interest along the route. The book describes the highway geographically, from east to west, allowing the reader to explore all at once or in various sections the Pennsylvania portion of the road that began America's love affair with the automobile. Filled with old photographs, this book is an excellent guide for any fan of history who might want see what remains of the early automobile era when automobiling was entertainment in itself.

I'm 64 years old and have lived in Pennsylvania all my life. I saw this book reviewed by the author on PBS. It was an interesting review so I bought the book. I learned a lot about the PA highway system of the early 20 th century.
