The American Horse Gloria Austin

From the settling of the country to the surrender at Yorktown - that gave America its independence - to the westward expansion of the country and the rise of great cities, horses have been a vital part of the history of America.




Famous people, famous horses, commonplace people, commonplace horses - all have played an integral part in the growth and history of America. In this age of instant communication and men on the moon it may be hard to imagine the importance of the horse throughout American history but, by the time you finish this book, you will find it hard to imagine how we could be where we are today without the horse!
