drivetheost Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Roberta Serface recently published a book on the Broadway of America, entitled Broadway of America: The Forgotten Highway. http://www.thebroadwayofamerica.com/home Serface, a former Lordsburg, New Mexico resident inherited the photographs of Col. Willard E. Holt, a Lordsburg booster. During the 1920s and 1930s, Holt, as a leader of the Lordsburg Chamber of Commerce, promoted the town vigorously. This included boosting highways that came through Lordsburg, including the Borderland and Old Spanish Trail, but with the most energy, the Broadway of America. Holt's photographs, many depicting the 1928 Broadway of America motorcade to Memphis, are priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roamndav Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Excellent news! Roberta and I have been conversing for a couple of years here and there about my project and her project. She made me promise to keep it quiet, so I'm glad to see she has finally announced it is finished getting published! I can vouch for the fact that this project will contain many photos never before seen by the general roadie public. i too am reserving a copy today.

mga707 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Just a quick note to alert anyone interested that the new BOA book is now out. I purchased mine today. Quite interesting, with loads of great pictures, many that have never before been published. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
