David Herlihy will discuss and sign copies of his new book, The Lost Cyclist: The Epic Tale of an American Adventurer and His Mysterious Disappearance, about Frank Lenz, a young man who left Pittsburgh in the spring of 1892 to cycle around the world. Herlihy will give a digital slideshow of photographs Lenz took before his world tour (on an old-fashioned “high-wheeler”) and during his trip through the U.S., Japan, China, Burma, India, and Persia. Herlihy is also the author of Bicycle: The History.
