The Book of Good Roads is also known as The Wheelman's Boon Companion. It is currently in the hands of the Pinkertons.

After Reese gave Waylan the bicycle wheel, Waylan heads into the garage and returns, holding an old book, held together by a an old, worn-out fan belt.

"Reese, "You're going to need this," Waylan says handing him the book. On its cover is the title "The Book of Good Roads, or, The Wheelman's Boon Companion."

"This here book has served me well, and I reckon its time for it to be passed on to someone else, to serve them just as well." He pauses, "Remember down in the mine I mentioned the Greenbackers and the Populists as a possible third way between the Goldbugs and the Silverites. Well back in the depression of the 1890s many of these people united in a so-called Good Roads Movement. At or around the Chicago Exposition of 1893, six men and one woman formed something called the LeagueOfGoodRoads, a tiny cabal that united good roads populism with utopian and pseudo-mystical Theosophical elements. They were JacobCoxey, FrankBaum, BarronCollier, RoyStone, IsaacPotter, IgnatiusDonnelly, and CelestiaRootLang. Although they were ultimately unsuccessful in their fight against the excesses of gold and silver -- most met bad ends -- they left behind this combination of turn of the century road maps, practical advice for the early motorist, weird superstitions, and traditional hex magic."

"I think its only appropriate that the new Knights of Good Roads have a copy for their journey."

And with a crushing hug Waylan threatens to break several of his scrawny little brothers bones.

"Mamma has a picnic basket for you all, though we're having sausage gravy if you're hungry now."
