From its earliest single-cylinder "motocycles" of 1901 through the bitter end of production in 1953, Indian inspired a fierce loyalty in its riders. And with good reason. Indians handled well, were handsome, dependable, and, in the right hands, plenty fast.

Indian Motorcycles recounts the fascinating history of the marque from the bicycle racer beginnings of founders George Handee and Oscar Hedstrom through the company's unfortunate demise in 1953, wrapping up with a review of post-1953 Indian activity. Along the way, author and noted historian Jerry Hatfield discusses all the great models, including the Scout, Chief, and Four, as well as the men who designed, engineered, raced, and rode the Iron Redskin.
