Jane Simon Ammeson, a freelance writer and photographer who specializes in travel, food, and personalities, is author of many books, including Lincoln Road Trip and America's Femme Fatale. A food columnist, as well as a member of the Society of American Travel Writers and Midwest Travel Journalists Association, Ammeson's home base is on the shores of Lake Michigan in southwest Michigan.

A wonderful hybrid of helpful tourbook, fun history lesson, and celebration of the Midwestern small towns that, it turns out, don't exist only in our imaginations. Every state should have a book like this! It will certainly make you want to take some road trips.- Keven McQueen, author of Murderous Acts: 100 Years of Crime in the Midwest
