This historical novel envisions the invention of America's first gasoline automobile. One of ten children and eventually the son of a successful post-Civil War manufacturer, John William Lambert was well situated to explore his love of engines and his dream of a self-propelled car.

The author is the great-granddaughter of the inventor of America's first gasoline automobile.
