Will de Renzy-Martin
A veteran of World War I, British RAF Captain C.K. Shepherd arrived in New York in June 1919, bought a top-of-the-line Henderson four-cylinder motorcycle, and headed west on a solo cross-country adventure to see America. He set off on his adventures, arriving in San Francisco two months later. Having completed his voyage, he sold his beloved motorcycle, dubbed “Lizzie”, on the street in San Francisco and then made his way back to his home in Birmingham, England.
Three years later, he wrote Across America by Motor-Cycle - a memoir and travelogue that has become a motorcycle history classic. The 1922 book is now in the public domain and has been reprinted and made electronically available by others besides me. However, this is the first known production of the book in audio format. The entire recording has been painstakingly made by reference to a digital copy of the book newly scanned from an original print of the hardcover book as published in 1922.
All words in the original book are spoken in a voice selected to most closely represent that of C.K. Shepherd as well as all of the "characters" about whom C.K. wrote. This audiobook will provide listeners with a new way to appreciate this wonderful adventure. Enjoy!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A tale from another century for sure.

What follows is an epic journey. It paints a picture of the United States a century ago and is immensely interesting.
It also told with classic British understatement and humour drier than a martini with no vermouth.
in addition to that the narrator does the dialects so perfectly that when listening to the conversations you could swear there were two people.
I have listened to over 400 audio books and this one is in the top 5.
I will definitely be listening to it again.
Highly Recommended.
A great adventure with perfect narration.

Beyond the occasional dislike of where he was, the account of his journey was quite entertaining. His journey, can be compared in some ways to George Wyman's, who cross the US by motorbike some years before him. Mr. Wyman's account of his travels was far less critical of the people and places than his British counterpart was naturally, but both expressed quite the distaste of American roads at the time.
Certainly a worthwhile listen and I recommend it. Gives the listener a view into what motorcycle travel was like over 100 years ago.
The narration was quite good and I really enjoyed listening to Mr. De Renzy-Martin. It was written that the narrator's voice may have closely represented Mr. Shepherd's and in doing so, they were able to really draw the listener into the emotion of the Brit quite well.
Good job and a great story.
