Elzear Duquette was a Canadian who gained fame as the "King of the Walk," so named for his extremely long, cross-continental solo endurance walks, which he conducted internationally for more than 40 years.

From 1969 to 1976, Duquette traveled on foot from his home in Montreal and back, covering a distance of more than 23,000 miles. He pulled behind him a small cart, which he called his "coffin," which he both slept in and used to carry all of his necessities for the trip. He supported himself through the sale of mementos and through television appearances along the journey.
