Around the World in a Napier

The Story of Two Motoring Pioneers

Andrew M Jepson , Fore. Geoff McGarry
New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Early in the 20th century Charles Glidden and Charles Thomas drove a Napier car around the world – twice. Using newspaper and magazine articles and Thomas’ captioned photographs, this volume pieces together their adventures, recalling a journey that took in remote parts of Sweden, where their car was the first to have been seen by the local population; saw them modify the vehicle to drive on the railroad tracks to Vancouver; and enlist the help of villagers and twelve bullocks to ford a fast-flowing section of India’s Tapti River.
