Hamilton Mack Laing was an illustrious early British Columbia writer and naturalist, but few know him as how he described himself in his mid-thirties: a motorcycle-naturalist. In 1915, he made one of the first transcontinental journeys, riding across the United States from Brooklyn to Oakland.
His previously unpublished manuscript of this journey, hidden away for nearly a century, is available now for the first time. Riding the Continent tells the story of a pioneering motorcyclist and independently thinking naturalist on a most unusual road trip.
