On his seventieth birthday in 1909, a slim man with a shock of white hair, a walrus mustache, & a spring in his step faced west from Park Row in Manhattan & started walking. By the time Edward Payson Weston was finished, he was in San Francisco, having trekked 3, 895 miles in 104 days. Weston`s first epic walk across America transcended sport. He was ”everyman” in a stirring battle against the elements & exhaustion, tramping along at the pace of someone decades younger. Having long been America`s greatest pedestrian, he was attempting the most ambitious & physically taxing walk of his career. He walked most of the way alone when the car that he hired to follow him kept breaking down, & he often had to rest without adequate food or shelter. That Weston made it is one of the truly great but forgotten sports feats of all time. Thanks in large part to his daily dispatches of his travails--from blizzards to intense heat, rutted roads, bad shoes, & illness--Weston`s trek became a wonder of the ages & attracted international headlines to the sport called ”pedestrianism.” Aided by long-buried archival information, colorful biographical details, & Weston`s diary entries, Walk of Ages is more than a book about a man going for a walk. It is an epic tale of beating the odds & a penetrating look at a vanished time in America. ...
