- Stretching from New Orleans to the U.S.-Canada border in Grand Portage, Minnesota, U.S. Highway 61-like its east-west counterpart Route 66- is a dying vestige of a time when two blacktop lanes represented the zenith of cross-country highway travel. Unlike Route 66, however, a strong case can be made that Highway 61 - running 1,699 miles through the gut of the nation - is a much truer cross-section of American heritage and geography. From the Deep South, steeped in the tragic legacy of slavery and the magic of rhythm and blues, to the lily-white North Shore of Lake Superior, inhabited largely by the decendants fo Scandinavian immigrants, this evocative and artfully executed celebration of Highway 61 is organized as a "road trip" book. It provides an unprecedented and visually intense look at the road's past and present, tying into the people associated with the cities and towns along the way. Each of the eight states through which 61 passes is represented.
