Descriere magazin:
n nThe history of Philadelphia\'s Boathouse Row is both wide and deep.Dotty Brown, an avid rower and former editor at the Philadelphia Inquirer, immersed herself in boathouse archives to provide a comprehensive history of rowing in Philadelphia. She takes readers behind the scenes to recount the era when rowing was the spectator sport of its time--and the subject of Thomas Eakins\' early artwork--through the heyday of the famed Kelly dynasty, and the fight for women to get the right to row. (Yes, it really was a fight, and it took generations to win.) n nWith more than 160 photographs, a third of them in full color, Boathouse Row chronicles the waves of change as various groups of different races, classes, and genders fought for access to water and the sport. Chapters also discuss the architectural one-upmanship that defined Boathouse Row after Frank Furness designed the stunning and eclectic Undine Barge Club, and the regattas that continue to take place today on the Schuylkill River, including the forgotten forces that propelled high school rowing.n nBeautifully written and illustrated, Boathouse Row will be a keepsake for rowers and spectators alike.n
