The Ankle Express is true American History! Called such because my father William Victor Gray born October 29, 1921 traveled via his two feet, which he and his buddies called The Ankle Express. When they ran it was `the ankle express' to be sure! Of course he rode on horse-drawn buckboards or by means of one of his two horses named Bud and later Prince.
