Greetings From Lincoln Highway

Americans (and many around the world) are fascinated by the United States highways-especially the older ones.

In Greetings From The Lincoln Highway, author Brian Butko and Globe Pequot Press, invite readers on a road trip celebration of America’s First coast-to-coast highway.


I absolutely love learning about the history of America's highways and byways.


For the first time in American history the Lincoln Highway allowed motorists to make a complete trip across the U.S.


Better yet it offered scenic wonders. Accommodations, quirky and unusual rest stops, stores, attractions and historical sites.


From start to finish the book is jam-packed with current photographs, maps and vintage art and photos that illustrate the history of the Lincoln Highway.


Facts and fun-filled anecdotes recall the early years of the highway, its many stopover points and the people and times that make up the long history of the highway.


Nostalgia reigns as readers travel down Memory Lane, indulge in some good old-fashioned Americana and relive the past.


What a joy to read and imagine traveling down the highway past farms, villages, cities, historical sites and nature’s wonders and meeting the people, visiting the places and remembering the good old days.


The book also offers a modern day take on the many sites still in existence, great places to visit and of course the great people who you’ll meet along the way.
