| Motorcycle Adventurer Carl Stearns Clancy: |
This book includes C. S. Clancy's original and unedited articles written in 1912 and 1913 describing his adventures and the people, the scenery and cities through which he traveled just prior to World War I. He began the journey with Walter Storey, but when Storey was suddenly called home to the U.S., Clancy finished the trip himself. See the world 22-year-old Clancy saw and rode through before paved highways and interstates. Experience his world-view through his tale of meeting other cultures, other peoples, new challenges, as he rode the earth on a 1912 Henderson motorcycle. View 120 photographs taken with 1912/13 cameras of him and his riding companions or taken by him of places he visited, from castles to farms, to museums, to villages, to cities across the world. Read Clancy's tales of the adventure just as he wrote them. Though edited by author Dr. Gregory W. Frazier, corrections were left at a minimum in order to retain the "flavor" of Clancy's era, an era in which 22-year-old Clancy philosophied while riding his motorcycle at night in Spain in 1913, "One must die sometime and to die with one's boots on is very noble." Carl Clancy completed his motorcycle tour just prior to beginning his career as a silent film writer and producer. Click some photos from the book to view some of the photographs in this book.
