| Publisher Description: Amateur athletics enjoyed a huge upsurge in interest in the 1890s. Aspiring sportsmen were spurred on by the exploits of famous runners of the day such as W.G. George, the world mile record holder in 1896, with a time of 4 min 12.7 sec. The first revived Olympic Games were held in 1896. Around this time St. Paul's Harriers were founded in Weymouth, Dorset. This book records the history of this athletics club from its foundation up to 1991. |
