As the highway that opened up the West to millions of travelers since
its construction in the 1930s, Rte. 66 is an iconic road that has been
celebrated in story, song, films, and more. Justly known as "The Mother
Road," this highway became the vital path for travelers, tourists, and
fortune-seekers. However, after the advent of the superhighway and the
Interstate system of the 1950s, Rte. 66 gradually fell out of use,
leaving behind fascinating relics of a bygone era--roadside attractions,
marvelous kitsch, storefronts, and the great neon artifacts that still
light up the night along the highway. Terrence Moore has traveled and
photographed this road since he first drove it with his parents in the
1960s. Though he has covered this subject for more than 40 years as a
professional photographer, never before has his work been collected in
book form. This volume highlights 66 of his finest 35mm color film
images--a stunning chronicle of this storied road in states from
Missouri to California.
