First published in 1935, this fascinating volume traces the history of English boat-racing from its origins as a forbidden pastime, to the respected sport that sport that it is today. This book will appeal those with an interest in the history of boat-racing and Eton college, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage sporting literature. Contents include: "The Thames Highway", "River versus Road", "Bathing up to 1840", "Bathing after 1840", "Black Potts to Brocas Clump", "Brocas Meadow to Monkey Island", "Eton College Boat House", "Floods and Frosts", "The Boats", "School Races", "The Eight", "Racing Boats", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original artwork and text.
