Eureka! What a find. Besides being a phenomenal ROADSIDE history book (best used with an automobile traveling the highways and byways), it is worth the purchase for the 100s of black & white photos that are found throughout the book. In my recent two week of travel through New Mexico there was not a ghost town, pueblo, town or city that was not expounded upon.

Folks, this is a wonderful book, and works best as a supplement to a good traveling guide (my recommendation is Fodor's New Mexico [see my review]). Now, I will admit that traveling guides usually have a brief sketch of the history of locations, but Roadside History expands that and the photos are priceless. Strongly recommended
