Route 66, 100th Anniversary Edition
The beloved, definitive book on Route 66--updated with a new chapter to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the most famous road in American cultureFrom its conception in 1926 to its decommissioning in 1985, Route 66 was the way to see the heartland of America. Winding through eight states and three time zones, The Mother Road was for travelers: those who appreciated the romance of the open highway. It led them from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California, acting as a guide to the towns, attractions, businesses, families, and sights of the nation's Midwest, Southwest, and West. In Route 66: The Mother Road, Michael Wallis takes readers on an adventure from the conception of highways, through major moments in America's history, to the establishment of the national interstate highway system that signaled the decline of the fabled highway, before finally leading us down the 2,400 miles of Route 66 itself. With hundreds of photographs and text, he shows us that this road is still the enduring artery of the country, linking our past, present, and future. First published in 1990, the bestselling Route 66: The Mother Road sparked an unprecedented revival of the forgotten towns, diners, and motels along Route 66, transforming the road from a distant memory into a vibrant, internationally recognized destination in its own right. For this 100th anniversary edition, Wallis revisits the people and places that make Route 66 what it is: an American icon.

Someone Else's Saint
Second Place Winner of the Pottersfield Prize for Creative Nonfiction The Whithorn Way is a 1600-year-old pilgrimage route from the city of Glasgow to the shrine of St. Ninian?a mysterious Celtic saint whose lonely cave still looks out over the waves toward England, Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man. When the path was recently revived, pilgrimage scholar Dr. Matthew Anderson gathered the first group of Canadians to walk it. Three years later, Matthew and his wife Dr. Sara Parks moved to Antigonish, Nova Scotia, only to discover that they were once again following Ninian?the cathedral at St. Francis Xavier University somewhat unusually bears his name. Thus began a search for the origins of this half-legendary figure on both sides of the Atlantic, turning up little-known histories of Gaels, Picts, Acadians, and Mi'kmaq, and resulting in a new East Coast Canadian Walk that Anderson came to call the Nova Scotia Ninian Way. In alternating chapters, travel through the wild Scottish Lowlands and along the salty Northumberland shore. Meet the locals and the come-from-aways, hearing stories of shipwrecks and shortcuts. Find a place to dry your boots with a pint in hand and bright company in landscapes that have seen murder and oppression as well as hope and reconciliation. Visit teashops looking out over smugglers' islands and ceilidhs in Acadian halls, where old-timers speak of priests falling through ice, hunters disappearing down gypsum holes, and bishops mistaken for pirates. Slog through downpours and stinging nettle in the never-ending moors and walk past decaying mid-century theme parks and political bypasses. The "slow travel" of a pilgrimage on foot reveals two lands linked not only by Ninian, but also by common struggles. Someone Else's Saint is a thoughtful, funny, and perceptive travelogue for lovers of walking?or reading.
