Written by William Fisher Macmichael and originally published in 1870, the book provides a detailed chronicle of the contests that took place on the Thames River between the years 1829 and 1869.The book covers the early years of the boat races, including the founding of the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race in 1829 and the establishment of the current course from Putney to Mortlake in 1845. It also details the evolution of the boats used in the races, the training methods employed by the university crews, and the various controversies and disputes that arose during the races.The author provides a wealth of information about the individual races, including detailed descriptions of the crews and their strategies, as well as the conditions of the river and weather on race day. The book also includes illustrations and photographs of the boats and crews, as well as maps of the race course.Overall, The Oxford And Cambridge Boat Races is a fascinating historical account of one of the most famous sporting events in the world, and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of rowing or the traditions of Oxford and Cambridge universities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
