Skipper Williams and George MacAdam

Followed closely by the entire world, the Great Race was front page news.  Someone needed to dispatch stories to the event’s sponsors Le Matin and The New York Times, and to the rest of the world.  Reporters for the Times, Williams and MacAdam were assigned to ride in the Thomas Flyer.  Williams covered the race across America and MacAdam took over in Seattle.   Their stories were the only link most people had to the Great Race of 1908.
