Wheeling through Yellowstone: Early Bicycling in America's First National Park
Between 1883 and 1898 a number of intrepid tourists and African-American members of the 25th Infantry Bicycle Corps rode their bicycles through some of the most amazing scenery and worst roads in the country. Historian and Yellowstone Park Ranger Wes Hardin describes the triumphs and trials of this unique experience in an illustrated talk on Saturday, May 9 at 2 p.m. in Central Library’s Richard E. and Lucile Krug Rare Books Room. A rare document from the Krug Rare Books Room titled Military Cycling in the Rocky Mountains was consulted for this program and will be on display.
