A 200-page hardcover book based on the fantastic 1887 bicycle ride of George Nellis (1865-1948) from New York to San Francisco in 72 days. Drawing on Nellis` letters and the media coverage of the trip, Kevin J. Hayes recreates in compelling detail this amazing trip and the many ordinary and extraordinary faces of late 19th century America that were once revealed to the young 21 year old cyclist. The dimensions are 5 3/4 x 9 1/4 inches, the condition is very good. See the picture gallery. This image is of the dust jacket.
