A substantial and influential late-Victorian survey of English sport by Caspar Whitneyauthor, editor, and the architect of the American college football All-American team. Rather than a single-sport treatment, A Sporting Pilgrimage offers informed, first-hand examinations of hunting, rowing, football, cycling, cricket, and club athletics, reflecting the transatlantic exchange of sporting culture at the end of the nineteenth century. The extended golf section (pp. 331397) is of particular importance, covering early club histories, course design, and instructional commentary.

A Frederic Remington frontispiece further strengthens the book's appeal to collectors of American sporting art.
