Look what I found! Poking around in the dusty recesses of Pleasant Street Books in Woodstock, Vermont this weekend, my eye was caught by this book cover. My father, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy in Daddy's Stanley Steamer. The cover is his only appearance in the book. The contents contain everything you might want to know about all makes of steam cars.
According the research done by Jim Merrick, Archivist at the Stanley Museum in Kingfield, Maine, a few years ago, the James Melton collection included about thirty steam cars, ranging from a 1893 Custom Steam Stage Coach to a couple of Locomobiles, as well as numerous Stanleys and Whites.
More about which in a later post...I promise.
