Trade Review
In Father of Route 66, Susan Croce Kelly has done more than write the life of Cyrus Avery. She has told the story of modern Tulsa, Route 66, and the times in which both of them became important."" - T. Lindsay Baker, author of American Windmills: An Album of Historic Photographs and More Texas Stories I Like to Tell My Friends

""The name Cy Avery is most closely associated with Route 66, but his life's work involved many other notable achievements. Susan Croce Kelly has done an exceptional job of bringing both the man and his times to life. This important work is long overdue."" - Jim Ross, author of Oklahoma Route 66
