Book Reviews of Major Taylor: The Extraordinary Career of a Champion Bicycle Racer
Book Review: Well written, very well documented important historical work
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very enjoyable book. Very well researched and documented (almost to a fault). Anyone who is serious about the history of bicycle racing in the USA must add this book to their library. After reading this book one must wonder how great Major Taylor would have been if the playing field was equal. Highly Recommended!!
