A California Roadside Treasure!

Looking for titles that cover both California Roads AND California History, I was surprised to not only find so few, but also to find Ruth Pittman's thoroughly researched "Roadside History of California." Ms. Pittman enjoyably includes historical photos and roadmaps alongside her historical anecodotes. This book would be an entertaining companion to bring along on my next roadtrip to any of the twelve California regions that she covers with one to six excursions, depending on the location. This book could also be good armchair reading to anyone encumbered by wanderlust, but unable to physically get out on the road.
