On This Day in (Somewhat Inaccurate) History... June 2nd, 1897...

Norwegian immigrant Helga Estby is interviewed by the Minneapolis Tribune recalling her journey across America. She and her daughter Clara were promised $10,000 by private parties in New York if they were to walk from their home in Spokane, Washington to New York, New York within a seven month time period. They were three days late, thereby nullifying the agreement. Happy ending: upon learning that Helga was asked to write a book about the experience, the private parties paid up as to not look like complete and utter dickheads. (Author's note: the private parties still look like complete and utter dickheads.)
