DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The inspiration for the Major Motion Picture Directed by George Clooney—exclusively in theaters December 25, 2023! The #1 New York Times bestselling true story about the American rowing triumph of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin—from the author of Facing the Mountain For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant. It was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Boys' Own Book: A Complete Encyclopedia of Athletic, Scientific, Outdoor and Indoor Sports, With Illustrations As for a single person to write a book of this description with a fair prospect of success, treating of all the different games that come under this heading, I would state that I am largely indebted to the following Works for many parts that I am not intimately acquainted with viz The American Boy's Book, Every Boy's Book; and The Modern Playmate. Many of the games have been so revised as hardly to be remembered as the same game the editor played when a boy. For example, the sim ple and almost abandoned game of Rounders, or Town Ball, has risen to a science under the name of Base Ball, while such as Croquet, Football, Cricket, and La Crosse, are given as they now exist after many years of.
