Legendary Route 66 Completes its Journey

Released on = August 2, 2005, 10:08 am

Press Release Author = Kathy Weiser, Owner/Editor, Legends of America, kathy@legendsofamerica.com

Industry = Entertainment

Press Release Summary = For over a year, Kathy Weiser, the owner and editor of Legends of America (http://www.legendsofamerica.com) has been traveling Route 66, collecting information, snapping photographs, and building a web, “within a web”
called Legendary Route 66 http://www.legendsofamerica.com/66-Mainpage.html).

Press Release Body = As a prelude to two Route 66 books, coming out later this year, this online information about the Mother Road is by far, more extensive than most, and not only delves into Route 66, but also, the history of the many towns that this
historic pavement passes through From vintage icons along the old highway, including such places as the Cozy Dog Drive-In in Springfield, Illinois; Wrink’s
Market and the Munger Moss Motel in Lebanon, Missouri; or the Snow Cap Drive-In in Seligman, Arizona, this site continues to reach deeper into history.

If you thought that Route 66 was nothing more than an old weed-choked road dotted with motels and diners from the 1940’s, you’ll find that there is plenty more when driving this chunk of asphalt. From Civil War sites in Missouri and Oklahoma, outlaws in Texas and New Mexico, to the numerous gold mining camps of Arizona, the sights along this old highway are incredible.

Legendary Route 66, part of Weiser’s extensive look at the west on www.LegendsOfAmerica.com gives readers an in depth feel for this American classic.
From the buttery smell of popcorn at the drive-in theater to a greasy burger at the local diner, Weiser takes you deeper into the cities and towns they were famous for, all the way back to the Old West. Towns like Holbrook Arizona, once said to have been “too tough for women or churches;” Tucumcari New Mexico, once referred to as “Six-Shooter Siding,” and Galena Kansas, the site of much bloodshed during its coal
mining days.

As an added bonus, you will also find interesting side trips, numerous lakes, state and national parks, and historical sites -- pages and pages of Americana that come to life, including a few surprises along the way.
