About this event
Join the Arizona Historical Society and Dr. Peter Dedek for Native Americans, Cowboys, Spanish Explorers, and Route 66, part of the Arizona Road Trip: Route 66 and Beyond series. This is a free virtual talk, register here: https://bit.ly/4ee8u2z Route 66 has unique place in American popular culture. Unlike most other pre-interstate U.S. highways, its distinct and widespread popular identity is due, in part, to its association with the deserts, Spanish explorers, Indians, and cowboys of the Southwest and with the millions of vacationers who took to the highway in their automobiles and found adventure on the open road. This lecture examines the many historical and cultural meanings of Route 66 addressing the question: why is Route 66 so beloved and so famous? #ArizonaHistory #Route66 #Route66Centennial #VirtualTalk
