http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122614790

This scrapbook, begun by his mother in 1879, documents the activities of Remington from infancy, through his development as a young boy, to his graduation and participation in the Olympic activities in 1900. Rich detail is provided on his recreational activities of his earlier days, but the focus of the collected materials is on his student activities and performances at the University of Pennsylvania. Remington writes on his trip across the Atlantic, the successes and disappointments of the Olympic team, and the friendships formed during this mission. Josiah McCraken figures prominently as do his other teammates in this volume. The book includes hair cuttings, photographic prints, clippings, programs, written accounts, ribbons and other pieces of ephemera.
