Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoroughbreds Less than a hundred miles from the city of Gotham, across broad green fields, dotted into squares and oblong valleys by full-leafed maple, and elm, and mulberry, was the village of Brookfield. A hundred years of expansion in the surrounding land had acted inversely with the little hamlet, and had pinched it into a hermitical isolation. The Brookfieldians had discovered a huge beetle in the amber of their serene existence; it was really the Reverend Dolman who had unearthed the monster. The beetle in the amber was horse racing, and the prime offender, practically the sole culprit, was John Porter. By an inconsistent twist of fate he was known as Honest John. His father before him had raced in old Kentucky to considerable purpose, and with the full vigor of a man who races for sport; and so to the son John, in consequence, had come little beyond a not-to-beeradicated love of thoroughbreds. To race squarely, honestly, and to the glory of high-couraged horses was to him as much a matter of religion as the consistent guardianship of parish morals was to the Reverend George Dolman. Therefore, two men of strong beliefs were set on opposite sides of the fence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Thoroughbred Hence mv only endeavors have been to bring this book down to date and modern ize its contents so far as practicable. The great world is in a great hurry just now, and has but little time 'to devote to the perusal of ancient history. So I deal with horses of the last sixty years as much as possible, referring the reader to the works of Col. Bruce for the old days in Virginia; and to Mr. Osborne's work for the ancient occurrences on the turf in England and Ireland. They were both better writers than 1_ am and had ihore extensive libraries upon which to draw for information. Hence 1 make no claim for any great amount of originality in this book, but I can claim truth fully that its construction is more orderly and methodical than that of any book that has yet been published on this subject, either in America or in Europe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Making the American Thoroughbred: Especially in Tennessee, 1800-1845Every age and every nation has certain characteristic vices, which prevail almost universally, which scarcely any person scruples to avow, and which even rigid moralists but faintly censure. Succeeding genera tions change the fashion of their morals, with the fashion of their hats and their coaches; take some other kind of wickedness under their pat ronage, and wonder at the depravity of their ancestors. Macaulay.If I were to begin life again, I would go on the turf to get friends. They seem to me the only people who hold close together.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the Stable and Saddle-Room It is for this class of persons - the altogether ignorant, those who know absolutely nothing about horses and stables - that I desire to write, and to impart the information which I consider that the experience of a lifetime spent amongst horses, in cluding many years of service in an English cavalry regiment, coupled with an ever-earnest desire to gather and store up all knowledge regarding the management of the animal I love so well, entitle me to offer for their help and guidance. Every true Englishman loves a horse, even if he knows no more about him than he does about a kangaroo, and but few of our countrymen can gaze on a handsome horse without admiration; and if questioned and answering truthfully regard ing his knowledge of horses, would, if ignorant.
