Summary: Nice Travel Book with a Notable Inaccuracy
Comment: Purchased this book as a gift for my husband who enjoys traveling the back roads. While thumbing through the book, we noticed an error on page 166 in an article regarding the Lewis and Clark expedition. Anyone who has ever studied history regarding Lewis and Clark and the Louisiana Purchase knows that Sgt. Floyd of the expedition died south of what is now Sioux City, Iowa, not at Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Fortunately, the author has directed you to page 572 where an accurate account of the location of Sgt. Floyd's monument exists. The author does interject an opinion ocassionally describing grasslands as "yawning expanses" to which we can only add, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Overall a very nice book with some interesting sites along the way. We don't regret the purchase.

Summary: Road Trip USA: Cross-Country Adventures on America's Two-Lane Highways.
Comment: Great insight into what is on the back roads in the US. We are from Australia and planning a road trip in the South and it has been incredibly useful for helping us see the "real" America. We have done all the big cities so now we want to hear music and talk to people who are "America". This book will let us do that.

Summary: OK minor reference
Comment: The USA is just too big to encompass in one book. Most things covered in this book can be found by searching the internet. Good reference.

Summary: Road Trip USA - Jamie Jensen
Comment: Extensively researched and very well written - good humor makes the exhaustive details easy to read. Over the years, I have driven many of the roads travelled - and I wish I had this book with me in the past. I read through it and say "Oh yeah, now I get it" about many of the sights I have seen. Going to enjoy bringing it with me on future travels - this book gives me far greater insight than other such books I have read. Well laid out, great index and cross-references.

Summary: An Indispensable Guide
Comment: I recently completed a series of road trips around the U.S. with one of my children. We found Road Trip USA to be an indispensable guide to each section of the country we visited. The book was full of accurate recommendations and suggestions of what to see and what to avoid.
