Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
A St. Paul lawyer, Kaszynski tracks a story of the persistent demands by individuals to travel, the pressure for roads by automobile manufacturers, the need for roadside servicesDand more. Leaving no pothole unfilled, his pages flourish with descriptions and illustrations of highway systems, gasoline stations, auto camps, roadside eateries, and tourist advertising, enhanced by insight into their cultural and economic contribution to our society. Finally, he predicts that the past will repeat itself. The insatiable desire of Americans to express their individual freedom behind the wheel of an automobile will manifest itself by yet further transformation of our highway systems. Accurate, clearly and quietly written, and illustrated with over 300 photographs, this book offers readers an enlightening, entertaining, and educational drive on America's roads.
