Synopsis "Highways of the South"

Our highways are a microcosm of American life itself, and nowhere is that truer than in the South. You'll find things here you won't find anywhere else. You'll find a host of roadside traditions that started out in the South and spread nationwide, from Chick-fil-A to Cracker Barrel, from KFC to Krispy Kreme. No matter where you live, you owe more to the South than you probably realize. It's given us fried chicken and barbecue, NASCAR and Mayberry. It's a region rich in history and tradition, steeped in pride and tainted by prejudice. To travel the Highways of the South is to travel through a time capsule, past '30s diners, motels from the '40s, drive-ins from the '50s, and the billboards of today. You'll pass dinosaurs and giant chickens, Waffle Houses and Muffler men. You can even sleep in a wigwam or see seven states from Lookout Mountain - or so they say. Illustrated with 400 historic and contemporary images, Volume III of America's Historic Highways takes you on a trip along the highways to discover it all. Experience the legends and legacies that lie along these iconic roads. This book is a companion to Yesterday's Highways and America's First Highways.
