(3) 4-6 This accessible biography of Andrew Payne, winner of the 1928 "First Annual International Trans-Continental Foot Race," a 3,423-mile race from Los Angeles to New York City, focuses on Payne's strength of character as well as his physical endurance. Griffis's conversational narrative provides insight, and young runners may be inspired by this little-known American hero.
