    This was taken on Monday June 2, 1913. "Edward Payson Weston, America's famous long-distance pedestrian..." Veteran walker Mr. Weston was setting off from the plaza of the College of the City of New York (139th street) at noon for a walk to Chicago - a distance of 999 miles. He reckoned to make 25 miles per day. Here is the link to the relevant New York Times article of Sunday June 1, 1913: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9404EEDA143FE633A... Remarkably, Mr. Weston covered the New York City to Chicago walk over 36 waling daysin 1909. Here is his wikipedia entry which encapsulates his pedestrian career, he lived 1839 - 1929: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Payson_Weston

    Thanks so much lifeasdaddy, for all of the useful information. We'll add the information about Weston to the title, and include the date next time we revise this record.
