Greetings From Route 66 - Text on back: Established in 1926, Route 66 connected many of the small towns of the American West, spanning 2,500 miles from Chicago to Los Angeles.

Greetings From the Old West - Text on back: After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, more and more settlers moved westward for new beginnings, land, and hopes of prosperity. During the many gold and silver rushes, yet more people pushed westward into what was often, never seen, unexplored and sometimes violent territory. Over the next century, the "West" was tamed, but even today, there is a "frontier mentality" in many places that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
