The Greatest Rowing Stories Ever Told collects articles and excerpts of classic rowing stories, from the inception of the sport on English waters in the eighteenth century, through the scandalous era of professionalism (and gambling) of the nineteenth century, to the popular amateur sport of today. The contributors include prominent oarsmen and women, rowing journalists and writers, historians of the sport, and even poets and songwriters. Recall here the great rivalries, the pageantry of the regattas, the poetic solitude of the single sculler, and many other aspects of a sport entering its third century.

Born in Sweden, Göran R. Buckhorn rowed at Malmö Roddklubb (MRK) as a teen and later became a novice and women's coach. A lifetime member of MRK, he was its president from 1990 to 1993. He worked as an editor for a Swedish publishing company for fourteen years, and co-founded the Swedish rowing magazine Svensk Rodd, for which he was coeditor. Since moving to the United States in 2000, Göran has worked in a few positions at Mystic Seaport Museum, including nine years as the editor of the museum's magazine. He has remained active in the rowing community, serving as one of the directors of Friends of Rowing History and as founder and editor of the rowing history website Hear The Boat Sing (HTBS). Göran is the author or editor of several books on the subject of rowing. He lives in Mystic, Connecticut.
