From the jacketflap:What rolled on bicycle wheels, puffed clouds of white steam, and whistled softly like a teakettle? Why, a Stanley steam car, of course. Riding in it might be two men of identical appearance and expression - the Stanley brothers themselves.F.E. (Francis Edgar) and F.O. (Freelan Oscar) Stanley were identical twins, both strong-minded and independent men. Both started as country schoolteachers, and both turned to manufacturing. F.E. was a portraitist and photographer; both men were excellent mathematicians and self-taught violin-makers. And both were very curious about a recent invention, the automobile.
