Nothing like the wheel exists in nature; it may be one of humanity's greatest inventions. In Wheels, writer and illustrator Edwin Tunis traces the development of the wheel over 5,000 years, his accurate drawings and lucid text depicting the human victory over space and inertia. Beginning with the first primitive form of wheel--the captive roller--Tunis takes readers through the history of land transportation from the Elamite chariot--the first recorded passenger chariot--to the ancient wheeled vehicles of the Egyptians, Assyrians, Greeks, Persians, Romans, Chinese, and Indians; the whirlicotes, carrosses, berlines, fiacres, and phaetons that traveled the roads of Europe from the Middle Ages to the Industrial Age; the Conestoga wagons, prairie schooners, and Concord coaches that carried Americans westward; the velocipede, the world's first bicycle, and its successor, the penny-farthing; steam-powered wheeled carriages like the Dudgeon and La Mancelle; Karl Benz's 1885 gasoline tricycle and the 1896 Ford quadricycle; the roadsters of the Jazz Age; and the gloriously chromed and tail-finned sedans of the 1950s.

The history of the wheel is the story of civilization, and in Wheels--which won the Boy's Club of America's Gold Medal when it was first published in 1955--Tunis tells it with wit and illustrates it with striking drawings that will delight readers of all ages.

This book on making Working Wagon Wheels is designed to give the wood worker all of the information necessary to make a strong wheel that looks like the early wooden wheel. The approach was to design a wheel that looks like an old wheel but did not require mortise joints and holes or the need to steam and bend the wood. There are many options possible in this book that allow the wood worker to instill his or her own design ideas to make your wheel unique. The design as shown will result in a wheel that looks almost exactly like a wheel 100 years old. We have picked the most popular style of the era to use for the design in this book.

Working Wagon Wheels is a fully illustrated book, that is spiral bound to allow the woodworker to lay it on a work bench and turn page by page without the book folding back losing your place. The easy-to-read instructions are illustrated with actual pictures of each step of assembly and accompanied with scaled drawings when necessary, making each steps a simple procedure.

The modern bible of carriage driving . . . now back by popular demand

Widely renowned as the definitive book on training the driving horse, Carriage Driving offers an easy-to-follow, practical guide to this increasingly popular sport.

With that in mind, Carriage Driving focuses on building a strong physical, mental, and emotional relationship with your horse. Equine mechanics, selecting the right bit and tack, harnessing, and ground training are just a few of the topics addressed.

Drivers at any level will benefit greatly from this groundbreaking book, which has stood for more than a decade as the preeminent resource on training a balanced, responsive, and safe driving horse.

Daisy Bell Catherine Brown was only eight years old in 1880, when her physician father, her mother, grandmother, siblings and other relatives decided to join the wagon train in May Day, Kansas, and head for Oregon on the Old Oregon Trail.

This is her story, which she began writing seventy-two years later when she was eighty years old.

In the meantime, she married three times: First to David Pier, at the age of sixteen, to whom she bore eight children. When he died, she married Al Goldsby, and after his death, Charles Ackley, whom she also outlived. She died at the age of ninety-three.

Daisy saw it all, from a wagon train crossing the plains to astronauts in space. She tells how it was on the American frontier, when men were men and women were glad of it.
