From the Columbia River to the Siskiyou Mountains, Highway 99 traverses 300 miles of western Oregon. Big cities and small towns, the level Willamette Valley and steep hills, rich agricultural lands and tall evergreen forests, and rushing rivers all lie along its path. Arising from an early network of emigrant trails, stagecoach routes, and farm-to-market roads, the highway had developed into Oregon's major transportation corridor by the end of the 19th century. The dawn of the automobile age saw an exponential increase in traffic, creating a greater demand for improved roads; these better roads, in turn, created yet more traffic for both business and recreation. Roadside businesses, such as auto courts, restaurants, and service stations, sprang up along the highway to cater to a new type of motorist--the tourist. Today, much of Highway 99 and its predecessor, the Pacific Highway, remain in daily use.

"This is an excellent book telling about the history of Oregon's Highway 99. Some of the interesting information that the book mentions is as follows; Along 6th and 7th Avenues were Eugene's motel row. South of Canyonville is Wolf Creek, home to Oregon's oldest operating hotel, the Wolf Creek Tavern which had many famous folks such as Clark Gable and Carole Lombard being past visitors to it. Roseburg has long been a timber industry center of Oregon. Grants Pass has had an arch sign for nearly 100 years saying: "It's the climate." Grants Pass had a 2010 population of nearly 35,000. The Lithia Hotel in Ashland was constructed in 1925 and for many years it was the tallest building between Portland and San Francisco. The Interstate Bridge spanning the Columbia River between Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR opened to vehicles in 1917. Lew's Burgers Drive In has been a popular Southeast Portland fixture since 1957 when Lew and Betty Johnson opened it up."
