Carefully selecting the best articles from our collection of classic magazines we have compiled a series of informative publications on the subject of sport. The titles in this range include 'Correct Technique for the Great Sport of Golf,' 'A Traditional Guide to Swimming and Diving,' 'The Gentleman's Sport of Hunting,' and many more. Each publication has been professionally curated and includes all details on the original source material. This particular instalment, 'The Great Sport of Rowing', contains information on the history of the oarsman. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.
