eorI finished re-reading Seven Wives and Seven Prisons last week. Honestly, I read it again just because I wanted to remind myself of a particular bit about him walking. He was pretty worn down from being in prison and not being well fed. After he was released he spent one night at a nearby house then he set out walking. He covered 40 miles the first day and 20 miles the 2nd day! He didn't have any money to pay for transportation, he just walked. I'm not sure how old he was at the time, but somewhere over 40. A good reminder that what we think of as extraordinary really wasn't that amazing years ago.
It took seven stints in prison for him to realize he should stop drinking because when he drank he tended to end up married, even if he had another wife somewhere else. Hence all the visits to prison. Amazing he didn't learn a few wives sooner.
