Route 66 in California (Images of America)

Route 66 in California (Images of America)
- Used Book in Good Condition
The â€œMother Roadâ€ hauled it all, traversing the American West from Chicago to Santa Monica Beach, the last 350 miles through Southern California. For settlers, Depression-era â€œOkiesâ€ and â€œArkies,â€ and postâ€“World War II families bound for suburbia, Route 66 was a migration funnel for generations. Wending through the mountains and badlands of San Bernardino County into Los Angeles County, Route 66 became a state of mind and a catchphrase for travelers everywhere, especially after singer Bobby Troupe popularized the hit song â€œ(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66â€ and actors Martin Milner and George Maharis hit the road with the ragtop down and the shades on in the namesake television series that seemed to go anywhere every week. The shield of the Route 66 sign has become iconography for the growth of Southern Californiaâ€™s economy, population, popularity, and folklore.
