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.
