In the beginning it was happy trails. Then some dummy invented the horseless carraige and things haven't been the same since. As ribbons of concrete spread over the horse trails, so did the fun and frustration. This book explores some of that highway fun, both past and present. Included are unique pictures of strange vehicles, early gas stations, convenience stores, the evolutions of the stop light, unusual roadside signs, the Texas billboard hall of fame, unusual accidents, strange things seen when driving, and much, much more.

What happened to the documents captured in the Alamo? Does a ghost actually haunt the state capitol in Austin? Was John Wilkes Booth killed or did he escape and flee to Central Texas? The authors present the known facts and circumstances of these and other mysteries.
