John Park Finley (April 11, 1854 - November 24, 1943) was an American meteorologist and Army Signal Service officer who was the first person to study tornadoes intensively. He also wrote the first known book on the subject as well as many other manuals and booklets, collected vast climatological data, setup a nationwide weather observer network, started one of the first private weather enterprises, and opened an early aviation weather school.

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.
