The historic 1928 Bunion Derby was a cross-country footrace from Los Angeles to New York City. A supreme test of human endurance and fortitude, the runners pounded the pavement for 84 straight days, covering more than 3,400 miles. Starting in Los Angeles, the runners tracked the path of old Route 66 to Chicago. From there, they followed a twisting 1,000-mile trail to New York City. That journey is the subject of this book.A number of books and articles have previously been written about the race. Most concentrate on the promoter, C.C. Pyle, his runners, or just the Route 66 portion of the race.This book takes a more robust approach--including a turn-by-turn driving guide with detailed historical material. It covers not only the runners and the intensity of such a race, but also summaries of important events that transpired in the years leading up to the race, descriptions of surviving historical sites, and stories reminiscent of American life in the late 1920s.Supporting the story are more than 200 illustrations, including period photographs, postcard images, and maps. A highlight of this book tells tales of the torturous path that the race followed to reach each overnight stop. Reports from period newspapers about the race and its participants add color and a sense of moment.A glimpse back in time, with a look at the same places today and a description of how to get there, the book has something for everyone.
