Freedom Voyages Volume 3: A Proud, Dignified People in Lincoln's Illinois
is a travelogue of an eight-day, 2,000-mile road trip from Colorado to Illinois and Indiana and back. The book features over 300 photos of small towns, homes, Main streets, endless verdant fields, local diner food, 20 county courthouses, a Lincoln-Douglas Debate site, the Ronald Reagan Museum at Eureka College, the Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site, Pony Express sites, Mark Twain's hometown of Hannibal, and the cities of Decatur, Springfield, Terre Haute, and much more. Why do we all enjoy road trips? Because we experience Freedom on a road trip. We all know that. But there's more. A road trip occurs at ground level, allowing us to identify what we too often overlook in these "fly-over" times. By experiencing America from the road, we see the country's ordinary features: main streets, farms, homes, diners, railways, highways, warehouses, river barges, grain elevators, factories, offices, taverns, shops, parks, schools, churches - these features are the essential facets of America that provide us a truly exceptional life. This book is a road trip for those who can't take road trips themselves, want to see America from afar, or for those who just love America.
"You capture the heart and spirit of America as you take us on the journey with you."
-- Barbara Ann, Florida.
"Seibel's books are an encomium to the freedom that the automobile affords ordinary Americans to see and admire the goodness that still abides in our national character."
- Ken, Maryland.
"Beautiful presentation of a Road Trip and Photography. The book is easy to read and follow along with, as Tim takes you along on his real-life road trip. Not only was it informative of the towns and county courthouses he visited, but it made me want to go on a road trip myself!"
- Marisa, Colorado
