About this book
Captain Barclay's walking matches fill much of Pedestrianism, an Aberdeen book of 1813 by Walter Thom. It also records the feats of other noted walkers and runners of the previous century and the author's own day, and includes an essay on training. Thom says he first meant to write only about Barclay, then widened it, and he argues that soldiers would benefit from exercise of this kind. Barclay is remembered for walking a thousand miles in a thousand hours in 1809.
