John Biglin was not only a solo rower, in fact he had a brother. The Biglin Brothers, in the decade after the Civil War, rowed when the sport was at the height of its game. Three of there most well known races were the American Championships held in
Poughkeepsie, NY in 1965, Ward v Biglin in 1865 which was a five mile race, and the Schuylkill River race in 1872, where they competed against Henry Coulter and Lewis Cavitt.
