The Route 66 centennial, the Native American role in Route 66 history, the trials and tribulations of being a writer, the international nature of Route 66 and the future of that storied highway, and tales of preservation battles lost and won, are just a few of the subjects discussed in today's conversation with Jim Ross and Shellee Graham. Pioneers in the Route 66 renaissance movement, Ross and Graham are accomplished authors and historians that have a new book, Route 66: The First 100 Hundred Years due for release in June 2025.
