520    "[I]ntroduces young readers to a fascinating, little-known
       event--the Transcontinental Foot Race--which came to be 
       known as the Bunion Derby. It is set in 1928, the height 
       of the Roaring Twenties--a time of optimism, a time of 
       excess, and the Age of Ballyhoo. . . More than 100 men of 
       all races and nationalities started the race in California
       and faced all manner of obstacles--from extreme weather to
       poor food and living conditions, to prejudice to injury--
       to make the cross-country journey across the United States,
       ending in New York City."--|cPublisher's web site.
