The year is 1919 and Charles Kenilworth ('C.K.') Shepherd, a former British Royal Air Force Captain and World War I veteran, has decided to travel to the United States to see the country from the back of a brand new Henderson 4-cylinder motorcycle. In this accounting of his adventures across the country, he has 'endeavored to portray America and Americans exactly as I found them and as they appealed to me' in this 'narrative of quite an ordinary, unaspiring, British motorcyclist'. - Summary by Barry Eads
