1. The architecture of Santa Fe is amazing. We wandered the back streets just enjoying the incredible forms it took. This book gave us the history of Santa Fe architecture, information about particular buildings, and made us feel like more than mere looky-loo tourists. Now, after the trip, I look at it to relive the beautiful sights! We burned out on shopping the first day and enjoying architecture provided us with exercise and entertainment! I definitely recommend the book -- I would have given it 5 stars, if it had had color photos!

1. If you're a caver or just interested in caving, this book is a lot of fun. The Guadalupe Mountains of New Mexico are home to some of the world's most beautiful caves, including Carlsbad Caverns and Lechuguilla Cave. This book describes Robert Nymeyer's adventures and misadventures with his buddies in the high Guadalupe caves. The descriptions of early vertical caving techniques using lariats and the photographs taken with flash powder are priceless examples of what folks will do when bitten by the exploration bug.

2 comments about Route 66 Chronicles: Volume I Shadows of the Past Over Route 66 Arizona - New Mexico (Route 66 Chronicles).

1. I just finished Route 66 Chronicles and found the book to be a wonderful collection of stories that take the reader to a new level of understanding and appreciation of the "Mother Road". Unlike many of its predecessors, Chronicles vividly reveals the human side of the small towns and people who grew up along this famous hiway. The author's insight into the character and soul of the "Old West" in the 1930's and 1940's, brings us back to a special time in American history. The next time I drive from Los Angeles to Chicago, I'll have a deeper appreciation of what lies beyond the red mesas and little trading posts.



2. After reading this book, and being an old Route 66 fan, I was left with a rather hollow feeling. Upon completion, I realized I had just finished a nice, rather first person account of times loosely happening in the general area of Route 66 in Arizona and, somewhat, New Mexico. But, as a Route 66 book, it was lacking in content, and connection, to the road.
   Perhaps a marketing ploy, the book itself is more a recounting of the authors personal experiences and related stories. Most focus on Native Americans, others on western folklore.
   If your a fan of such work, then I'd recommend the book. If, like me, your a Route 66 fan, it's better to pass.
