Here Comes Exterminator!
Author: Eliza McGraw
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1250065690
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Before Seabiscuit there was Exterminator, a thoroughbred who won more stakes races than Man o' War and Secretariat combined, and whose staggering success would dramatically change the world of horse-racing. His success challenged the notion that American horses would never live up to Europe's meticulously charted bloodlines and made him a patriotic icon of the country after World War I. His longevity established him as one of the public's most beloved athletes and celebrities, and he appeared in ads, films, and newspapers nationwide.--

Wild Horses of the West
Author: J. Edward De Steiguer
Publisher: University of Arizona Press
ISBN: 0816528268
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
When the Spanish explorers brought horses to North America, the horses were, in a sense, returning home. Beginning with their origins fifty million years ago, the wild horse has been traced from North America through Asia to the plains of SpainÕs Andalusia and then back across the Atlantic to the ranges of the American West. When given the chance, these horses simply took up residence in the landscape that their ancestors had roamed so long ago. In Wild Horses of the West, J. Edward de Steiguer provides an entertaining and well-researched look at one of the most controversial animal welfare issues of our timeÑthe protection of free-roaming horses on the WestÕs public lands. This is the first book in decades to include the entire story of these magnificent animals, from their evolution and biology to their historical integration into conquistador, Native American, and cowboy cultures. And the story isnÕt over. De Steiguer goes on to address the modern issuesÑ ecology, conservation, and land managementÑsurrounding wild horses in the West today. Featuring stunning color photographs of wild horses, this extremely thorough and engaging blend of history, science, and politics will appeal to students of the American West, conservation activists, and anyone interested in the beauty and power of these striking animals.

I Got the Horse Right Here
Author: Joseph James Reisler
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1493052217
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
Burned out by working the baseball beat for years, in the summer of 1922 Damon Runyon was looking for a new sport to cover for The New York American as a change of pace. Having pilloried golf just a few years before, he went to Saratoga that August to sample horse racing and found that “There, right in front of him, were so many of the characters he so loved from his time covering the comings and goings of the Manhattan night crowd.” This was just the tonic Runyon needed to emerge from his malaise. Runyon didn’t just cover the great races and which horse won: he would get to the track days before and roam along the backstretch, speaking with the trainers, the gamblers, the rich owners, and the wise guys, many of which became model characters in his fiction and in the musical Guys and Dolls. This book collects the best of Runyon’s horse racing columns to 1936, when he moved on to other beats.
