William Murphy, a seasoned rider and author, has just published his new book called
Grace and Grit - Motorcycle Dispatches from early Twentient Century Women Adventurers.

You might notice the familiar faces of Augusta and Adeline on the cover. Bill paints an excellent picture of life in the early 1900s and includes tales from multiple women riders including Della Crewe, the Hotchkiss team of Effie and Avis, and of course the sisters. You'll definitely enjoy this read, I did. The author's thorough research uncovered many interesting facts about Gussie and Addie that even surprised us.
You can find Grace and Grit at his website, www.booksbywilliammurphy.com, or other places such as Amazon, or possibly your local bookstore.
