Details

Walker's Manly Exercises was written by Donald Walker in the 19th century. The book is a comprehensive guide to physical exercises and sports that were popular at the time. It contains detailed instructions on how to perform various exercises, including rowing, sailing, riding, driving, racing, hunting, shooting, and other manly sports.

The book was important because it emphasized the importance of physical exercise and its benefits.
