In 1925, Swiss schoolteacher Aime Tschiffely set out to prove the resilience of Argentina's criollo horses by riding two of them from Buenos Aires to New York City. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow Tschiffely's unprecedented journey, which has been called "the most exciting and influential equestrian travel tale of all time."
We'll also read an inscrutable cookbook and puzzle over a misbehaving coworker.
