Hardcover. ivory boards w/ reflective blue spine printing. 282 pgs w/ bw illustrations. dark blue jacket w/ color illustrations & blue printing. A nice, bright and sharp copy. "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 centers on the colorful careers of two New York City Irish boys, the Biglin brothers John and Barney, now long forgotten save for Thomas Eakins's portraits of them in their shell. If the bestseller The Boys in the Boat portrayed the good guys of the U.S.'s 1936 Olympic crew, the Biglins, along with their colleagues and successors, were the Bad Boys in the Boat. Rascals abounded on and off the water, where rowdy fans often outdid modern soccer thugs in violence, betting was rampantâ"as was fixingâ"and spectators in the tens of thousands came out to see it all. The Triumph of the Amateurs traces the sport from its rise in the years before the Civil War on through the Gilded Age to its scandalous demise and eventual transition into a purely amateur sport. In addition, Barney Biglin's later career as holder of sinecures offers a colorful glimpse into late 19th-century New York City political corruption. Illustrated with 40 black and white and color illustrations, including Thomas Eakins's famous paintings of the Biglin brothers rowing on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia in 1872."--Amazon.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Octavo, black boards and red cloth lettered in gilt; unclipped pictorial dust jacket. First edition. A presentation copy, inscribed: "For Margaret, a friend of [Leo] Szilard's who knows plenty of stories, and promises to share them. Cheers, Bull L., 30 March 93," on the front endpaper; with Margaret's annotations throughout. The recipient, Margaret Brenman-Gibson, a teacher, researcher, and social activist, was the first psychologist to receive full clinical as well as research psychoanalytic training in America. She had befriended Leo Szilard, known in scientific circles as the "father of the atom bomb." In 1962 Szilard founded the first political action committee for arms control, the Council for a Livable World, whose board included Margaret. She is referenced several times in Lanouette's biography. A fascinating work with a stellar provenance. Inscribed by Author(s).
