Summary "Nederlandsch handboek voor roeisport" by Dr. P. H. Damsté and F. E. Pels Rijcken is a practical guide on rowing written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive manual serves as a significant resource for Dutch rowers, compiling historical context, technical knowledge, and detailed insights into the sport's evolution and techniques. The opening of the handbook presents the authors' motivation for creating this guide, emphasizing the need for a Dutch resource that addresses local conditions, as existing foreign texts were inadequate. It includes a preface outlining their ambition to inspire a love for rowing within the Netherlands by drawing from their own experiences and observations. The initial chapter follows with a historical overview of rowing competitions, detailing the origins and notable events that contributed to the development of the sport, highlighting competitions not just in the Netherlands but also in England, Germany, and France. The authors share anecdotes and statistics related to historical races, establishing a narrative that frames rowing as a time-honored activity intertwined with cultural significance.
