Download or read book The Wondrous Sport of Rowing written by Philip Stekl and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-21 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of photographs and poetry is a celebration of a sport that is more than sport and a revering of the countless remarkable souls it brings together. By way of a series of 12" x 12" "scenes", with high-resolution photographs and accompanying verse, the book highlights a singular community bound by an extraordinary breadth of shared experiences spawned by no more than a gossamer shell, riggers and oars, and a body of water. Regardless of the specific aspects of rowing that have "hooked" us - elite-level intensity, recreational bliss, the special connections relished with partners, the environment, equipment, or with our selves; and of course, the challenge and wonder exclusively felt when interacting with water - this is a book that will remind every rower, past or present, of why the sport will forever be entwined with our souls.

Download or read book The Triumph of the Amateurs written by William Lanouette and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Triumph of the Amateurs is the story of the lost world or professional rowing in America, a sport that attracted crowds of thousands, widespread betting, and ultimately corruption that foretold its doom. It centers on the colorful careers of two New York City Irish boys, the Biglin brothers John and Barney, now long forgotten save for Thomas Eakins's portraits of them in their shell. If the bestseller The Boys in the Boat portrayed the good guys of the U.S.’s 1936 Olympic crew, the Biglins, along with their colleagues and successors, were the Bad Boys in the Boat. Rascals abounded on and off the water, where rowdy fans often outdid modern soccer thugs in violence, betting was rampant—as was fixing—and spectators in the tens of thousands came out to see it all. The Triumph of the Amateurs traces the sport from its rise in the years before the Civil War on through the Gilded Age to its scandalous demise and eventual transition into a purely amateur sport. In addition, Barney Biglin’s later career as holder of sinecures offers a colorful glimpse into late 19th-century New York City political corruption. Illustrated with 40 black and white and color illustrations, including Thomas Eakins's famous paintings of the Biglin brothers rowing on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia in 1872.
