Route 22 is a 350-mile highway that connects Manhattan and
Montreal. One day while driving on it, Benjamin Swett was struck by
the contrast between the landscape he could see through his car
window and the more romantic one he remembered from his childhood.
Without any particular plan, he set out to discover how the upstate
New York of James Fenimore Cooper and Thomas Cole became this other
place a seemingly lost, untended region of Off-Track Betting
Parlors and Tattoo Emporiums, abandoned diners, and ancient
buildings crumbling into forgotten canals. The result of his
exploration is this book an insightful and deeply personal
meditation on this complicated and beautiful landscape, accompanied
by ninety evocative photographs."
