Reviews

[D. E.]

LWB had collected and driven numerous highways throughout Arizona and in doing soi has written the history of the highway. This is an informative book about the sites too see throughout Arizona. There is even a section of Route 66. Then you have the western city of Tombstone. You can visit the city and walk the sane streets as Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday. This is an excellent read for the genre.....ER
