Did You Know?  The Federal Judiciary Act of 1789 required Supreme Court justices, in addition to presiding on the Supreme Court, to "ride the circuit," and preside over circuit court cases.  The death of James Iredell, one of the original Supreme Court Justices, was said to be due in part to illness caused by harsh weather conditions when riding the circuit.  Supreme Court justices continued to "ride the circuit" until 1891.
