Heroes of the Forest is a four-volume book set that passionately tells the story of the Pebble Beach Road Race, which was contested from 1950 through 1956 over the winding roads of the Del Monte Forest. The events were exciting and dangerous, and they launched the careers of many of America’s top drivers. Authored by automotive enthusiast, collector, racer, researcher, and journalist Mark R. Brinker, this engaging and entertaining book set chronicles the Pebble Beach races, competitors, and cars with a depth and detail never before assembled in a single work.
Heroes of the Forest opens with a discussion of the history of racing in America dating back to the late 1890s. Coverage is also provided for the myriad of postwar U.S. races that occurred prior to the Pebble Beach Road Race. Subsequent volumes are devoted to the drivers, cars, and complete race results. This approach provides absolute clarity and promotes ease of reading.
