Description
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 also discusses the rise of amateur rowing as America's first collegiate sport, its growth over the twentieth century, and current popularity for both men and women competing at all levels of the sport.
