About this product
Product Information
On his seventieth birthday in 1909, a slim man with a spring in his step faced west from Park Row in Manhattan and started walking. By the time Edward Payson Weston was finished, he was in San Francisco. That Weston made it is one of the truly great but forgotten sports feats of all time. Aided by long-buried archival information, biographical details, and Weston's diary entries, Walk of Ages is an epic tale of beating the odds and a penetrating look at a vanished time in America.
