Travel writing and adventure at its best

2006 marks the 50th anniversary of the Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate Highways - and marking the occasion is LAPPING AMERICA: A MAN, A CORVETTE, AND THE INTERSTATES which follows Smith's cross-country journey. Travel writing and adventure at its best, LAPPING AMERICA provides both a history of these highways and their conception and development with realities of travel, making for a vivid 'you are there' memoir celebrating both.
