Synopsis

This new omnibus combines author Russ Olsen’s successful Route 66 Lost & Found volumes 1 and 2 and adds more than 50 new sites along the Mother Road not included in those two editions. All of the sites featured, more than 200 in all, are reordered from Illinois to California to provide a continuous journey along 66. The maps included in the previous two volumes are updated to feature the locations of the new sites included here.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Route 66 Lost & Found author and photographer Russ Olsen is back with 75 more motor courts, cafés, filling stations, and greasy spoons that helped make Route 66 “America’s Main Street.” The new profiles are presented alongside every site featured in Olsen’s previous volumes, resulting in 200-plus profiles, all re-sequenced to take the reader on one remarkable ride from the outskirts of Chicago to L.A. Updated maps feature the new sites, and each profile is accompanied by an archival image of the establishments, a concise capsule history, and modern [what?] photography depicting the site as it appears today. The result is a tribute to Route 66 like no other, harkening back to a time when America’s main drag carried dusty refugees and spit-shined vacationers alike to the promise of something new.
