Across America
Sketches and Highlights

Henry J. Hauser

The artist/author rode a bicycle 3932 miles across America, riding in 16 states. He stopped to draw the scenery along the way. This book is a compilation of 80 drawings and 12 highlights including “The Big Hill”, “Over the Top”, “Northwest Nebraska”, and “The Scariest Ride”. “Tips for Touring” suggests ways to prepare for a cross country tour.

“I hope this book helps you enjoy the beauty of North America, its land and its people.” Introduction.

“The windiest day of my entire ride was a day riding in northwest Nebraska. At one point I was riding downhill pedaling as hard as I could, going seven miles an hour.” Northwest Nebraska.

“Rounding the top of the hill I dropped over the other side. Suddenly I was flying down close to 40 miles per hour on a 10 mile descent…” The Big Hill.

“The once in a lifetime feeling of riding over the divide is indescribable. Looking down the other side, the road wound into the blue horizon. Now I started the journey anew…” Over the Top.
