註釋An American Indian plucked from the reservations, Louis Deerfoot Bennett was something the London recetracks had never seen before. Running in his native costume, and shrieking warcries, he was touted as the world's fastest pedestrian, setting a record for the one-hour race that stood for 34 years. Despite his drinking, brawling and race-fixing, the handsome Deerfoot began attracting women and the upper classes to the race track. This is his story, told in full for the first time.
