Across frozen Canadian rivers and American rinks, a band of Scottish curlers changed winter sport for ever. These were curling's pioneering days. In Curling in Canada and the United States, minister and historian John Kerr records the Scottish tour of 1902-3 in rich, first-hand detail, tracing matches, journeys, hospitality and rivalry across the Dominion and the Republic. Part travelogue, part sports history book, part curling history reference book, it captures the tactics, camaraderie and traditions of early 1900s curling while charting how the game took root as a shared passion in two young nations. This classic curling history edition stands as a key document of North American curling history and of Canadian sports history in particular, offering rare contemporary insight into curling in Canada and curling in the United States during a formative era. As a winter sports history book it speaks both for curling enthusiasts who savour the feel of the stones and ice, and for sports historians seeking an authentic primary account of the famed Scottish North American tour. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, prepared with care for readers, researchers and collectors alike.
