- Abstract
The article discusses the evolution of entertainment events in the U.S. Topics mentioned include the popularity of six-day walking races during the late 1960s and early 1970s, subsequent decline of the contests due to pedestrianism and hippodroming, and the value of walking which was discussed in various essays by writers such as Henry David Thoreau, John Burroughs, and Robert Louis Stevenson.
