Note 6 — JIM BECKWOURTH’S NARRATIVE
Reading edition
Concerning this great race for life, it may appear impossible to some for a human being to accomplish such a feat. Those who survive of Sublet’s company, and who know the distances from point to point of my celebrated race, will please to correct me publicly if I am in error in the distance. I have known instances of Indian runners accomplishing more than one hundred and ten miles in one day.
