There is an
excellent biography of Major Taylor written by Andrew Ritchie, a bicycling historian. I have two copies of the book, one in English I actually read and another in French that I found at a bookseller along the Seine River in Paris. If anyone is interested in reading it, drop me a PM and I'll dig it out.
