About Across America By Motor-Cycle: Remastered And Reset

A veteran of World War I, British RAF Captain C.K. Shepherd arrived in New York in June 1919, bought a top-of-the-line Henderson four-cylinder motorcycle, and headed west on a solo cross-country adventure to see America. He set off on his adventures, arriving in San Francisco two months later. Having completed his voyage, he sold his beloved motorcycle, dubbed “Lizzie,” on the street in San Francisco and then made his way back to his home in Birmingham, England. Three years later, he wrote Across America by Motor-Cycle—a memoir and travelogue that has become a motorcycle history classic. This book is now in the public domain and has been reprinted and made electronically available by others. However, all other known print reproductions contain low-quality images from the original book and the electronic versions all have numerous typographical errors apparently caused by errors in optical character recognition. This electronic version has been painstakingly reset and proofread, and all images re-scanned from an original print to present the original book as it was first published in the highest quality possible.
