The full text of ‘Cyclists’ Raid’ by Frank Rooney, as published in Harper’s in January, 1951. Read my remarks about Rooney’s story and the incident at Hollister, on which it is based, in my previous post.

As a bonus, I am including the articles mentioned in my previous post, that were published in The San Francisco Chronicle and The Hollister Free Lance on the Monday following the ‘riot’ over the 1947 July 4th weekend.
