First day of June
Weston the pedestrian
When marathon walker Edward Payson Weston strode into Amsterdam in 1910, the New York Times reported that Weston received “the merriest reception which has been accorded him at any place during his walk across the continent.”
Weston, born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1839, started America’s fascination with long distance walking in 1861 when he trudged from Boston to Washington to fulfill a bet that he would accomplish the feat in ten days if Abraham Lincoln won the Presidential election.
Join Fort Ticonderoga's Curator Dr. Matthew Keagle for a history of the French Lines on the Carillon Battlefield.
This Friday Bob Cudmores conversation with Curator Matthew Keagle
