Inhoud:

For several decades following the end of the Civil War, the most popular sport in the United States was walking. Professional pedestrians often covered 500 miles or more in pursuit of large money prizes. Tapping vintage postcards and old newspaper articles, this is the first book to bring back to view this once-familiar feature of American life.
