Route 66 Photographic Essay by Quinta Scott - Text by Susan Croce Kelly

The 2,000-mile concrete slab became a seven-year obsession for Susan Croce Kelly and Quinta Scott.  They traveled Route 66, photographing buildings, knocking on doors, and interviewing the people who had built the buildings and run the businesses along the highway.  Drawing on the oral tradition of those rural Americans who populated the edge of old Route 66, Scott and Kelly have pieced together the story of a highway that was conceived in Tulsa, Oklahoma; linked Chicago to Los Angeles; and played a role in the great social changes of the early twentieth century.  With sixty-three original photographs strikingly reproduced as black-and-silver duotones.  Book is in perfect condition, dust jacket is perfect also. Has name hand written inside front cover
