Book Description
“ …When I arrived at New York I purchased a motor-cycle and set out to cross the continent to the Pacific, and I have it on the best authority that this was the first time an Englishman had ever accomplished the trip on a motor-cycle. In the following pages I have endeavoured to portray America and Americans exactly as I found them and as they appealed to me. If at times I perchance may give offence to any who are lovers of all and anything American, I do it without intent. Suffice it to say that before I went I had the highest opinion of anything that came from that worthy country, so that it cannot be claimed that I am one of those “ Pro-British-every- time ” individuals who delight in criticizing other countries and other peoples in order to gratify their own sense of national or other superiority.” RAF Captain Charles Kenilworth Shepherd's account of riding his motorcycle across the U.S. in 1919.

Book Description
Excerpt from Across America by Motor-Cycle A few months after the Armistice of 1918 was signed, when the talk of everyone concerned was either when they would be demobilized or what they would do when they were demobilized, two young men were exchanging views on this same subject in the heavy atmosphere of a very ordinary hotel somewhere in London. One was wondering how near, or how far, were the days when he would see the old home-folks once again "way back in Dixieland." The other was wondering what form of dissipation would be best suited to remove that haunting feeling of unrest, which as a result of three or four years of active service was so common amongst the youth of England at that time. "How about getting married?" suggested the one. Then followed a long pause, wherein the other was evidently considering the pros and cons of such a unique proposition. "Nothing doing," he replied eventually - "not exciting enough, old man." Another pause - "And when I come to think, I don't know of any girl who'd want to marry me even if I wanted to marry her." And as if to give a final decision to any proposal of that nature, he added - "Besides, I couldn't afford it!" "But I tell you what I will do, Steve," said he, "I'll go back with you across yon herring-pond and have a trot round America."
