Their aim was to be the first to drive a car from the Atlantic to the Pacific entirely within Canada. Lorne Findlay, a retired mechanic from Vancouver, and John Nicol, a writer from Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, recreated that historic trip 85 years later, from August 27 until October 18, 1997. THE ALL-RED ROUTE is an account of both trips: the untold story of the first attempt to find a motor route across a barely tamed and largely uninhabited country, and the recreation of that historic adventure, in the Reo, staying in the same towns on the same nights, even in some of the same hotels." .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
