Anyone on this forum hear of or read Herbert Wagner's book
At the Creation: Myth, Reality and the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle, 1901-1909?
It's an amazing book about the very first decade of Harley-Davidson, and something all serious Harley enthusiasts should read.
Did Harley-Davidson really start in 1903? This book makes serious arguments that the 1903 date was fabricated many years later by people in the marketing department of Harley-Davidson.
I have just begun to read it and plan on running a book review on it in an up-coming issue of
American Iron Magazine.
