The old roads have stories to tell...listen to this one.

Over the years, there were many old auto trails with unique pole markings and picturesque names thought-out then state, but unfortunately many of them were abandoned and some of the once bustling towns have dried up. This book is a photo journal documenting the history of one of those Route 66-like rural roads that tied communities together and revived landmarks such as roadside motels, diners and full-service gas stations.

White Pole Road is full of adventure! Follow the 700 white painted telephone poles through a 26-mile stretch of road with pictures, interviews and historical information from the White Pole Road Development Corporation. Encounter the Jesse James Gang, Bonnie and Clyde and President Truman. Relive the era with the nostalgic images by Tim Florer, author of "Rural Iowa Ruins" and "Against the Current".
