Bill Murphy's recommended routes take the motorcycle rider through Michigan's rural countryside and small towns on roads William Least-Heat Moon famously called "blue highways" with only occasional expressway stretches and jaunts into urban areas. Murphy's enthusiasm for his mode of travel is irrestible. Ideal for auto touring if you must. Twenty-seven major tours through Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas- many small one day tours also.

From 1918 to 1922 Michael Collins kept working diaries of his busy revolutionary life. They are a collection of hurried notes, necessary lists, names and appointments, things to do, and things not done. They are a record of his long working days, and they got him to where he needed to be on time. Though these diaries do not contain conventional lengthy entries in which Collins finally reveals his innermost thoughts, they still tell us much about this extraordinary man.\nIn this book, Michael Collins’s biographers, Anne Dolan and William Murphy, capture the nature of this new Collins source. They reflect on how the diaries change what we know about him, and challenge us to think differently about his life. The diaries begin with Collins a revolutionary among many; they end in 1922 with Collins as the most powerful figure in Ireland. They begin with Collins a single man; they end with him about to be married. The authors present thematic reflections on what the diaries reveal of his transformed life.\nAs they are also the diaries of his everyday life, the book examines very particular episodes, the curious and ordinary entries, which allow us to see Collins from new angles. Rather than offering the final piece that will solve the Collins puzzle, the diaries pose new questions to be asked.

Indiana: Corn fields, basketball, Larry Bird, Amish buggies, the Indy 500, Gary steel mills and MOTORCYCLING! So says Bill Murphy, devotee of two-wheel travel and author of two previous guides to Midwest motorcycle touring. Like other states in the great American Midwest, Indiana offers fabulous motorcycling... meandering roads through beautiful countryside, forests dissected by twisting pavement laid alongside bedrock cliffs, waterfalls and caves, white water streams, the mighty Ohio River... And that s just southern Indiana! Central Indiana has miles of bucolic country roads through farm and forest and roads that twist and turn as they follow such rivers as the Wabash, the Whitewater, the Tippecanoe, the Mississinewa and the St. Mary s... The northern portion of the state is lake country where you ll find scores of inland lakes nestled in the rolling glacial hills, and the blue water of Lake Michigan stretching seemingly forever beyond the northern horizon. Majestic sand dunes..., a historic mosaic formed by the people and events that forged the Crossroads of America over the centuries...., an enchanting land just waiting to be explored the best way possible on a motorcycle. Bill Murphy charts fun routes off the main roads and way off the freeway, with any eye for the features most attractive to motorcycling enthusiasts: He has ridden big cushy bikes and dirt-track screamers for many years all over the Midwest, and authored the popular Motorcyling Across Michigan and Motorcycling Across Ohio. A Viet Nam vet and retired Conservation officer, Bill Murphy also appreciates people and nature. And he takes the reader/rider to the best Indiana has to offer via the scenic route. "I've intended this book to be more than typical tour guides that simply tell you the most expedient route to some popular and overcrowded destinations. I take a very different tack. In this book, it's all about the journey... I also want to tell you about Indiana at the same time. There are thousands of fascinating stories and bits of folklore, natural and manmade attractions, under-appreciated historical events, and just plain interesting things to see and do and learn about... " A beautiful state and a great guide come together in Motorcycling Across Indiana.
