- Description: Clarence M. Darling and Claude C. Murphey departed from the Hotel Otsego in Jackson on May 2, 1904. After traveling 13'407 miles and a year and three months, they returned to the Michigan town having completed a tour of the United States following a bet. They lost the bet in Vermont, where they were unable to meet the 'financial' clauses of the wager: "The conditions were that they were to start on this long journey penniless, while on the trip they were neither to beg, work, borrow, nor steal, all the expenses of the tour to be met by the profits resulting from the sale of an aluminum card-receiver or ash-tray"
