"Around the World on Wheels, for The Inter Ocean" by H. Darwin McIlrath is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. This engaging narrative chronicles the extraordinary journey of Mr. and Mrs. McIlrath as they embark on an ambitious cycling expedition spanning over 30,000 miles across the globe. The book explores their experiences and encounters with diverse cultures, landscapes, and challenges they face along their route. The opening of the narrative introduces the McIlraths' ambitious adventure, starting from Chicago on April 10, 1895. It highlights the enthusiasm surrounding their journey, as friends and fellow cyclists rally to support their cause. The couple's initial days are marked by camaraderie with other cyclists, challenges with weather, and a run-in with local authorities. McIlrath's vivid descriptions of encounters, such as being arrested after riding on sidewalks, and the joys and adversities faced on the road set the tone for an adventurous tale filled with both humor and hardship as they commence their trek towards distant lands.
