On the morning of November 14, 1889, John Brisben Walker, the wealthy publisher of the monthly magazine The Cosmopolitan1, boarded a New Jersey2 ferry bound for New York City. Like many other New Yorkers, he was carrying a copy of The World, the most widely read and influential3 newspaper of its time. A front-page story announced that Nellie Bly, The World's star investigative reporter, was about to undertake the most sensational4 adventure of her career: an attempt to go around the world faster than anyone ever had before. Sixteen years earlier, in his popular novel, Jules Verne had imagined that such a trip could be accomplished5 in eighty days; Nellie Bly hoped to do it in seventy-five.
