U.S. 1 America's Original Main Street

More about the book

Along its 2,500-mile journey, U.S.1 passes through old, faded towns of New England, the great, decaying cities of the East, farms of the old South, down to America's new mecca--Florida. The story of this highway is metaphorically the history of America itself--past, present, and what so-called progress has done to the values that Americans once held so dear. 72 black-and-white photos.
