Even More Mysteries And Little Known History From America's Back Roads! Speeding down an Interstate highway is no way to see America. For a real taste of our history, our culture, and adventure, you have to travel the back roads, far away from tollbooths and rest area service plazas. That is where you will discover the interesting locations and fascinating stories no tourist bureau will ever tell you about. For years, Nick Russell has traveled America's back roads in search of the little known historical sites, oddball museums, and unsolved mysteries that never make it to the evening news. Now he's back with more wonderful bits of trivia and the stories buried along the two lane roads that crisscross our country. Stories like that of Kate Shelley, a young Iowa girl who crawled across a narrow railroad bridge at the height of a terrible night time storm to warn a trainload of passengers of danger ahead. Or the tragic tale of Milton Lott, a pioneer boy who lost his life trying to save his mother from an Indian attack. Or the mystery of Mothman, a mystical creature that terrorized the residents of one small West Virginia town. We all knew about Lassie when we were growing up. She was quite a dog. But have you ever heard of Jim the Wonder Dog? Unlike the celluloid collie we all knew and loved, Jim was a real dog with unreal abilities. Many believed he was actually psychic! Stories like this, along with the little-known tales of an Old West sheriff whose exploits would put Wyatt Earp to shame; of a bridge haunted by the Civil War dead of Gettysburg; of a con man who convinced the world he was royalty; mysterious deaths; forbidden love and more await you on lonely two lane roads in every corner of America.
