Who is Dave Kunst?
Dave Kunst is the first person independently verified to have walked around the earth. The walk was intended to be achieved along with his brother John, but in the event John was shot and killed by bandits, and Dave wounded; Dave resumed and completed the walk with another brother, Peter. His walk was officially stated to be 14,452 miles.
Kunst's walk may not have been the first circumnavigation by foot, in particular Guinness World Records mentions George Schilling, and Dumitru Dan circumnavigated the globe between 1910-1923, in a Touring Club de France contest.
