Hanlan the Champion Oarsman and His Trials
A chronicle of Canadian rower Hanlan from early days in Rockingham to famed clashes with rivals such as Morris and Trickett. The piece covers training, notable races on Pittsburgh's Monongahela, Chautauqua, and Washington, his rise after defeats, and the ultimate decline due to illness and age while preserving his modesty and dedication to the sport.
