Summary "Going Afoot: A Book on Walking" by Bayard H. Christy is a detailed guidebook written in the early 20th century. This work primarily covers the art and science of walking, offering practical advice on posture, equipment, clothing, and the overall experience of walking. Christy emphasizes the importance of being well-prepared and appropriately equipped to enjoy walking as a form of recreation and exercise. The opening of the book introduces the reader to various aspects of walking, particularly focusing on how to walk effectively. It begins with an insightful excerpt from Henry D. Thoreau, reflecting on the essence of sauntering and the deeper spiritual connection to the act of walking. Christy's detailed instructions cover essential topics such as the ideal walking posture, suitable wearing apparel, and the importance of proper footgear to ensure comfort and prevent injuries. Overall, the beginning sets a practical and thoughtful tone for the rest of the guide, inviting readers to appreciate walking not only as a means of transportation but as an enriching experience.
