K. Shepherd is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This illustrated account chronicles the author's personal journey as he traverses the United States on a motorbike, exploring the landscapes and cultures he encounters along the way after returning to England post-World War I. The book delves into his reflections on the American experience, the challenges of motorcycling, and the various characters he meets. At the start of the book, the author reflects on his motivation for the journey, contemplating the unrest felt by many returning soldiers. He buys a powerful motorbike in New York and maps out a route across the continent to San Francisco. His opening chapters depict the chaotic traffic of New York City and his amusing attempts to navigate, acclimatizing to American customs and road conditions. As he sets off on his adventure, he humorously recounts machinery struggles and early experiences, setting the tone for the travelogue filled with insight and wit. The narrative hints at both the challenges and joys that lay ahead as he embarks on a journey filled with unexpected encounters and picturesque landscapes.
