On April 23, 1929, the second annual Transcontinental Foot Race across America, known as the Bunion Derby, was in its twenty-fifth day. Eddie "the Sheik" Gardner, an African American runner from Seattle, was leading the race. Kastner traces Gardner's remarkable journey from his birth in 1897 to his success as a long-distance runner.
