It began in 1913 with a glorious new highway-stretching across 3,389 miles and 13 states-that connected the bright lights of Broadway with the foggy shores of San Francisco. It was a magnificent and meandering road that enticed millions of newly motoring Americans to hop into their Model Ts and explore the fading frontier. The Lincoln Highway. It was the road of Gettysburg, Pretty Boy Floyd, Notre Dame, the Great Salt Lake, and the Gold Rush Trail. Once a symbol of limitless potential, it is now undergoing (as Route 66 did twenty years ago) a miraculous revival. With hundreds of new and rare photographs provided by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Michael S. Williamson, this ode to a bygone era guides us across the true spine of the country, exploring vintage diners, Art Deco buildings, and funky roadside attractions, all waiting to be discovered.

Nice, but...
I also own Wallis' great Route 66 book, which lit the fire under me to travel that road. This book (Lincoln Hwy) is interesting, but seems somehow "fluffier" than the 66 book. With the Route 66 book, you felt as if Wallis had a real burning love for the road. With this one, it just feels more like "hey, let's write about another historic road and see if -that- sells". Still though (and especially if you haven't read his 66 book), this isn't a bad book.
If you're looking for a book that will guide you across the Lincoln Hwy, this is NOT the book you want. If you want something that might show you why you want to/should travel the Lincoln, then this is probably as good a place to start as any. I also highly recommend any Lincoln Hwy book by Brian Butko. He seems to have that fire for the LH that Wallis had for Route 66.
