THE PACK-DONKEY'S WAY: ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE PEDWAY'S ORIGINS
On the Trail of a Disorderly Future is a guided tour of the Chicago Pedway. This blog is a record of some of the research that went into the creation of the tour.
“Man walks in a straight line because he has a goal and knows where he is going;he has made up his mind to reach some particular place and he goes straight to it. The pack-donkey meanders along, meditates a little in his scatter-brained and distracted fashion, he zigzags in order to avoid the larger stones, or to ease the climb, or to gain a little shade; he takes the line of least resistance ... The winding road is thePack-Donkey’s Way, the straight road is man’s way.”
