The Graphic, England, June 15, 1929

It took him 21 days (and many peanuts, they wear out quickly), but he did it a day and a half ahead of his proposed finish. This wasn’t Bill William’s first foray into the peanut pushing practice - he’d pushed peanuts 11 miles in 9 days (and was hit by a car) the past December when he lost a political bet. For getting his peanuts pushed up Pike’s Peak, 22 miles in under 22 days, he won $500.
