A book about George Nellis' 1887 high wheel bike ride from Herkimer, NY to San Francisco, CA was recently published. The title of the book is "American Cycling Odyssey, 1887". The author is Kevin J. Hayes. The book is available from BN.com or Amizon.com for under $20. Kevin has incorporated material the George sent to the Herkimer newspapers as well as many other published sources. The comments that he made about the places George rode thru make for a interesting story about that time period. Kevin is an English professor at the University of Central Oklahoma. Richard
