Route 66 is the "Main Street of America," heralded in song and popular culture. It took a maze of different routes through St. Louis before slashing diagonally across the "Show-Me State" through the beauty of the Ozarks. In between, there are classic motels, diners, tourist traps, and gas stations bathed in flashing and whirling neon lights. Natural wonders include crystal-clear streams, majestic bluffs, and wondrous caverns. Roadside marketers concocted legends about Jesse James, painted advertisements on barns, lived with deadly snakes, or offered curios such as pottery and handwoven baskets. That spirit is alive today at the Wagon Wheel and the Munger-Moss, the Mule, Meramec Caverns, and Ted Drewes Frozen Custard, just to name a few. Their stories are included here.

Route 66 in the Missouri Ozarks picks up the journey west where its companion book, Route 66 in St. Louis, leaves off. As Bobby Troup's song says, Route 66 travels "more than 2,000 miles all the way." But one would be hard-pressed to "Show Me" a more scenic and historic segment than the Missouri Ozarks. The highway is lined with buildings covered with distinctive Ozark rock. It winds through a region of deep forests, sparkling streams, hidden caves, and spectacular bluffs. This book will take the traveler from Crawford County to the Kansas line. Along the way, there are small towns and urban centers, hotels and motels, cafés and souvenir stands. Take the time to explore Missouri's Route 66--it is waiting at the next exit.

In 1926, highway planners laid out a ribbon of roadways connecting the nation. One of the most important wove its way across eight states, from the cities of the heartland to golden California. In The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck calls it "the Mother Road." Route 66 has become a legend, celebrated in books, movies, works of art, and popular music. The interstates could not kill it. As "the Main Street of America," Route 66 had to pass through "the Gateway to the West," St. Louis. Crossing the Mississippi River, the road took many different paths through the busy city and then united to travel into the rolling hills of the Ozarks. Along the way there were mom-and-pop motels, tourist traps, roadside restaurants, a man selling frozen custard, one living with snakes, and another who claimed to be Jesse James. Their stories are here.

Tracing Route 66 through Missouri represents one of America's favorite exercises in nostalgia, but a discerning glance among the roadside weeds reveals the kind of sordid history that doesn't appear on postcards. Along with vintage cars and picnic baskets, Route 66 was a conduit humming with contraband and crackling with the gunplay of folks like Bonnie and Clyde, Jesse James and the Young brothers. It was also the preferred byway of lynch mobs, murderous hitchhikers and mad scientists. Stop in at places like the Devil's Elbow and the Steffleback Bordello on this trip through the more treacherous twists of the Mother Road.

Alex Poliac and his son are still on the run, having evaded both the FBI and the Clown – the supposed serial killer who’s actually a KGB hatchet man. Because Alex is in fact a Soviet sleeper agent, part of a network run by legendary spy Sasha, a shadowy figure among the US’s most wanted list. He is also the only holder of the Route 66 List, which contains the names of every agent implanted in the States along the celebrated road – the same agents Sasha is now having killed.

Route 66 a trail of tears takes a look back at traffic crashes in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. The goal was to document an aspect of The Mother Road that is not usually thought of, or talked about, in relation to Route 66. It wasn't really the fun, happy place we think of when we look back at the "good ole days." Many were maimed or killed during the existence of Route 66. This book looks at an approximate 60 mile segment in Southwest Missouri. This leaves 2,338 miles of the same horrible thing happening on every section of route 66. Towns covered include Albatross, Plew, Avilla, Carthage, Carterville, Webb City, Joplin and all points in between. This book is a pictorial of Missouri car crashes on Route 66. The area covered was determined by Carthage photographer, William Carl Taylor. Taylor took photos for the highway patrol, police, lawyers and insurance companies. He covered Route 66 from the Halltown, Missouri/Greene county line, west to the Kansas state line. This is more than just a collection of accident photos. You will get a glimpse of many portions of the road that no longer exist; the old cars; the people and their manner and style of dress. Yes, there is heartache in these photos but it catches true life situations on the old Route 66. There is no historical re-creation. This IS history! These pictures could depict crashes anywhere on Route 66. They just happen to be in southwest Missouri. Photographs are from the archived collection of William Carl Taylor. There are of thousands of photographs of accident scenes, from all over Southwest Missouri. I did not include photos of deceased individuals. If you see some of these wrecked vehicles, I believe that is enough. I obtained information from the Carthage Evening Press for several of these accidents. Many had nothing other than a location and date noted on the packet of negatives to describe the setting. 2016 is the 90th anniversary of Route 66. The route lasted just short of 59 years, but touched the hearts and lives of many, many people. The Mother Road anguished over these tragedies and left a trail of tears all along the way.
