The world was on the edge of war. It was the summer of 1916 - the last days of innocence - when two young men, Joe Bruce and Lester Atkinson mounted their bicycles in Colorado Springs, Colorado and pedaled off for New York City. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Lincoln Highway was little more than a muddy path across the nation. Automobiles were in their infancy. Few had ever heard a radio. Fewer yet had seen an aireoplane. Suffrage and prohibition were confronting the conscience of voters. Labor was rising up. Wall Street had begun an experiment called capitalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs two completely obscure high school boys make their way across the nation, shark attacks begin to terrorize New Jersey's shore. A parade is bombed in San Francisco. A railyard of munitions is blown up on Black Tom Island. The shadow of the great war raging across the Atlantic is creeping toward America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWoven into this coming-of-age tale of independence, unfulfilled destinies, and simpler times are thought provoking themes of equality, freedom, and the cost of liberty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger L.
