WEIRD HIGHWAY SOUTHWEST

TEXAS, NEW MEXICO & ARIZONA

ROUTE 66 HISTORY & HAUNTINGS AND LEGENDS & LORE

There is no greater highway in American history than Route 66 - the legendary "Mother Road" - which stretched all the way from Chicago to L.A. It's a road that conjures up memories of family vacations, roadside diners, souvenir shops, tourist traps, motor courts, trading posts, neon signs, and roadside attractions that have faded away over time. But Route 66 tells other stories, too - stories of ghosts, haunted hotels, vanishing hitchhikers, strange disappearances, and dark tales of murder, accidents, and death. 

In the fourth book in the "Weird Highways" series, author Troy Taylor packs up the car, starts the engine, and takes the reader along on a ride through the Southwest leg of Route 66, through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. This new volume of travel, oddities, true crime, and hauntings makes stops at lost diners, ghost towns, abandoned motels, and haunted places and introduces readers to roadside characters, outlaws and killers, and some of the strangest stories that still haunt what was considered the most treacherous stretch of America's greatest highway.

This isn't just another Route 66 book - it's a thrilling trip to places you've likely forgotten, filled with stories you've never heard before. So, climb in, turn up the radio, and take a trip back in time that you're never going to forget!
