520			_a"Handbook of Summer Athletic Sports" by Fred Whittaker is a comprehensive guidebook focusing on various summer athletic activities, likely written in the late 19th century. This work discusses sports such as walking, running, jumping, bicycling, and archery, and aims to provide readers with complete rules for American and English athletic contests. The book serves as a resource for both amateur athletes and those interested in improving their skills or understanding the regulations governing these sports. The opening of this handbook presents a historical context for pedestrianism, highlighting the rise in popularity of walking as a competitive sport in the United States, particularly through the accomplishments of notable figures like Edward Payson Weston. It discusses the development of various walking techniques and training methods, establishing a foundation for the detailed instructions and rules that will follow in the subsequent chapters. The text outlines the transition from pedestrianism being viewed as a casual activity to its celebration as a structured sport, setting the stage for the authoritative guidance that Fred Whittaker provides.
