A Complete Official Road Guide of the Lincoln Highway, Fifth Edition

ISBN 1-880397-39-0

In 1993 The Patrice Press republished a facsimile reprint of this remarkable volume, originally issued in 1924 by the Lincoln Highway Association. It sold out quickly – and now we have brought it back! With hundreds of ads from that magical era, the work gives detailed information on the 414 cities and towns through which the famous highway passed, from Times Square in New York City to San Francisco’s Lincoln Park, on the Pacific Ocean. Advice to readers includes "Don’t forget the colored goggles," and "Don’t stop to cool motor at top of a hill, put car in gear and coast down to cool motor." The trip was thrilling in 1924. The book is thrilling today.
