• Description: At the end of the nineteenth century, Harold and Hattie McIlrath completed a world tour by bicycle sponsored by the Chicago daily "Inter Ocean". Departing from Chicago on April 10, 1895, they covered 28,000 miles in three years: Hattie became one of the first women to accomplish the feat (the first woman appears to have been Annie Londonderry). As her husband wrote: "When I consented to the plan of going around the world, I intended to make the trip alone, but my wife pleaded so hard to accompany me that I finally concluded to take her. She is a brave little girl, and rather than considering her a burden, I now look upon her as having been of great help to me on our memorable voyage. Aside from the fact that she is an expert wheelwoman, she is also an unerring shot. Nerve she possesses in abundance, as all will agree after reading of the adventures which befell us"
