One of the most exciting eras in our nation's history was the advent of
the automobile. Adventure beckoned. A system of U.S Highways was developed to meet the
demands of a nation on the move. Businesses catering to the traveler sprang up along these
highways and a new roadside culture began - a culture of auto courts, cafes, service
stations, and tourist attractions. During this wonderous time a legend was born - Route 66
- the most celebrated highway of all! She was the Mother Road and she wound through and
captured the heart of a nation. She has become the highway we couldn't forget. And Route 66 Lost and Found volume 1 & 2 will become
the books you'll not forget either!

Route 66 Lost and
Found volume 1 & 2 are your time machine back to the glory days of the Mother Road. Journey back
in time with these photographs, most taken over 50 years ago, of places and stops along
Route 66. Order both volumes today, or complete your library with the new Route 66 Lost & Found volume 2! This follow-up to Russ Olsen's 2004 book is a perfect companion to that volume and like volume 1 is an important historical document cataloging Route 66 landmarks as they appeared both in their heyday and today.
Author and photographer Russell Olsen has tracked down these illusive Route 66 sites and
has photographed the structures and sites as they appear today. Each locale has a two-page
spread with a detailed account tracing its rise and fall, as well as specially commissioned maps detailing the featured site's locations along Route 66. Click
the pictures on the right to enlarge.
