Photographs from the "One-Club Juggling" chapter in Frank E. Miller's Indian Club-Swinging (1900).
Featured on PDR in the essay Eastern Sports and Western Bodies: The “Indian Club” in the United States
Although largely forgotten today, exercise by club swinging was all the rage in the 19th century. Daniel Elkind explores the rise of the phenomenon in the US, and how such efforts to keep trim and build muscle were inextricably entwined with the history of colonialism, immigration, and capitalist culture.
