At the
turn of the 20th Century, a young man bounded onto the track-and-field
stage and promptly smashed a number of sprint records from 40-120 yards. By 1902 he was tagged as the fastest human in the world! This is Arthur Francis Duffey's life story as pieced together by his grandson, Jack Duffey, Jr. and Jack's daughter, Paige, who together have researched newspaper articles; books; blogs; family
memories; US and Canadian census data; birth, death, marriage records; and
city directories.
