Description: Antique Book The Motor Cycle Chums Through Historic America 1915. The book is in good condition for its age, there are some stains on the cover, a few small brown stains on a couple of the pages, there is a library stamp on the inside front cover, and the pages are little separated at the spine on the first couple of pages, however still fully intact (see photos for all of these). Otherwise, the pages are in great condition without marks, tears, or other damage. Author Lieutenant Howard Payson. Illustrated by Charles L. Wrenn. Published by Hurst & Company in New York.
