An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new and still in the publisher's protective shrink-wrap.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 112 pages; "This compelling collection of photographs provides us the only visual documentation of which I am aware of of the 97th's role. Moreover, considering the scant availability of documents - visual or otherwise - pertaining to the 97th's unheralded contribution to the highway's creation, this collection of photographs really is a remarkable find." --Douglas Brinkley. 112 p. : illus., photos, map ; 23 x 24 cm.
