Free Kindle Harley And The Davidsons: Motorcycle Legends (Badger Biographies Series) ebooks Download
This addition to the Badger Biographies series tells the story of four young inventors who shared a dream: to create the best motorized bicycle in America. Their turn of the century aspirations took them from a backyard machine shop to a highly successful business empire - and all in the span of just a few years. With grit, determination, and not a little elbow grease, Bill Harley and the Davidson brothers - Arthur, William, and Walter - used their engineering and machine-shop expertise to continually perfect their designs and present the best possible products to the American public. Along the way they made their mark on the racing circuit and introduced safety measures that continue to this day. After their deaths, their sons and daughters continued this legacy, buying back the company after it changed hands and re-establishing Harley-Davidson as the king of the motorcycle world. From the old Knucklehead, Panhead and Shovelhead motors to the Evolution, Revolution and Twin Cam engines that followed, the story of Harley and the Davidsons remains one of the great success stories of the 20th century.

I wanted to check the facts of the mini series on the Discovery Channel. I found the book to be just the facts. It's an easy read and well written. The book and the movie don't completely jive. On to read more!
I thought there would be more detailed information here. But what was worse is that the book is written for a very elementary reading level. Had the sample contained more pages, I probably would not have purchased it.
Very informative with good pictures of both the people involved in building the Harley Davidson motorcycle as well as the materials, places and products used to build them.Not too long where kids would loose interest but written in a good format that is to the point without a lot ofuseless words.Overall very good!
This book is about how the four founders of Harley Davidson thought up the idea and created the company. It tells how the company started and changed over the past 100 years. It's great for kids who are interested in finding out how Harley-Davidson got started.
Not an in depth analysis or history. But a good quick primer for those who are interested. Worth a couple of bucks? I think so
