Description

Candidly and entertainingly Mr.Maxim describes the toil, the disappointments, the triumphs, of those early years between 1893 and 1901.

Here is his account of his first “explosive tricycle,” of the development of the first electric carriage, of the first motor race in America, of how he beat the Stanley Steamer, of his first momentous run to New York.

Here, in short, is the story of the steps— tragic, laborious, comical, inspired— which led to the perfection of the automobile as we know it today.

Hardback in generally very good condition with good dust jacket, some minor scuffs and tears, sunning to spine now in protective clear cover. .
