Book Reviews of Tales of the Road: Highway 61

Book Review: A Perfect Snapshot of Minnesota History
Summary: 5 Stars

Part travelogue and part history book, Cathy Wurzer's book is a must read (and watch) for Minnesota history buffs. I'm not one but I learned more in a couple of hours of reading than is normally possible. From the famous to the infamous places, Cathy has compiled their history. From the obscure and hidden to the spectacular and obvious, there is a story behind each of these landmarks. I can't wait to recreate this same journey along Highway 61!
