History / Biographical
Elzear Duquette (1886 - 1977) was a Canadian known as the "King of the Walk". Duquette gained fame for his long-distance endurance walks across the world. Duquette was known to carry all of his belongings in a cart behind him which he also slept inside at night - he jokingly referred to this as his "coffin". Elzear married Marie Laura Duquette, and they had 8 children together.

Robert Gordon [one dated 1969]. Both copies are originals signed by Elzear Duquette and an unidentified relative with the same last name [first initials difficult to discern].
