The Lincoln Highway: Main Street across America

About this book

Ten years after its original publication Drake Hokansons best-selling book continues to inspire readers to leave the interstate for a road less traveled but one that still fuels the American preoccupation with the open road. In his new introduction to this tenth anniversary edition Hokanson revisits the Lincoln Highway and finds it changedmuch for the bettersince the original publication of this book. Most notably he calls attention to the reinvigorated Lincoln Highway Association and its efforts to preserve what is left of the old road. Hokanson finds more and more tourists traveling the roadnot only Americans but foreigners as wellby car bus and motorcycle on journeys not to any particular destination but simply to see America.
