Major Taylor Writes Home - Letters to Worcester 1897 on YouTube

[Major Taylor Archive]

This was just posted by The Major Taylor Association on YouTube. A group of letters was discovered in storage in Worcester a couple of years ago and donated to American Antiquarian Society. Taylor writes to a friend about his early racing days. Fascinating stuff ! Check it out.

Fantastic find!
Thanks for posting that very interesting insight into what was going on, from Marshall Taylor’s point of view.

It's also a great read, if you're a V-CC member.
An article featuring the letters is also published in the latest edition of the club journal, "The Boneshaker", that I received this morning.....
