  SWIMMING - LoveToKnow Article on SWIMMING
Trudgens speed was so great for his time that swimmers quickly copied his style, and it is from this stroke that the crawl stroke has been developed.
When swimming Trudgen kept on the chest and lifted the upper part of his body at each stroke out of the water, and at each swing of the arms pulled himself forward, a considerable swirl of the water occurring as each movement was finished.
Those who copied Trudgen soon found it was less laborious and equally as fast to use a double over-arm stroke with the head and chest well down, and thus have the body supported by the water, using the ordinary overarm leg kick.

 Imitation British Halfpence Associated with New York City - Introduction
Trudgen felt Vlack 2-71A was linked to both Vlack 3-71B, which is the halfpenny at the start of the longer grouping, and was also related to a group of counterfeit 1786 Connecticut coppers traditionally attributed to Atlee (he mentioned 1786 Miller 3-D.1).
Trudgen originally thought his first group of halfpence was produced by James Atlee at the Rahway, New Jersey mint but in (1992) he revised this hypothesis and located the group to Samuel Atlee's brewery in New York.
Because of the Atlee association Trudgen, in his 1987 article, dated the coins to the period of 1787 before the summer as Atlee was known to have moved from New York City to Machins Mills at that time.

 Why Warriors lie down and die Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Trudgen recounts with disarming candour the patronising and even fearful attitudes which often underlay the reactions of mission personnel-including himself-to Yolngu ways.
Consequently, Trudgen’s analysis includes a caustic critique of the policies of self-determination, and even, at times, a tone verging on nostalgia for the missions.
Trudgen demonstrates the extraordinary stresses of living ‘under two laws’-on one hand, told to ‘give up the old ways’, while, on the other, denied equal access to European law.

As the front crawl is much faster than the breaststroke, the Americans won, but since the style produces considerably more splashing, it was considered barbaric and "unEuropean" and so the British continued to swim only breaststroke.
During a trip to South America, Trudgen noticed that the Indians were generating much more speed in the water with their overhand stroke than he had produced with the breaststroke as an amateur swimmer.
Upon his return to England, he started teaching this style, failing however to notice that the overhead stroke was coupled with a distinctive up and down kicking motion.
