Remarkable long walk by aged pedestrian Edward Weston
Edward Paxean Weston, a very elderly pedestrian, began his 275 night walk from New York on March 1. He reached Chicago by April 17 and Hugo Cole near May 22, covering about 1240 miles. Despite harsh weather, dehydration, and fatigue, his cheerfulness and endurance marked his journey as a remarkable feat for a man of his age.
