"....traces the development of this remarkable animal from the Spanish breeds brought to the New World by the conquistadors to the wild horses of the Plains to the melting pot of breeds on the Eastern Seaboard. All came together to form the modern Western breeds of the Quarter Horse, the Paint, and the Appaloosa...looks at the Western culture--both real and romaticized--that evolved along with the horse itself, including the vaquero, the American cowboy [and cowgirl], the cattle drive, the rodeo and today's million-dollar shows, and the phenomenon the Western Horse has become". Additionally, the introduction of the horse by Europeans had a huge impact on Native American tribes, particularly those in the plains and other western states. The Appaloosa is famous for its association with the Nez Perce tribe, and named after a river in their original territory, the Palouse. Today's mustangs of the west, actually feral, not wild, horses, are descended from these European imports. Nice and different view of the horse, history and our interaction in the Americas, particularly North America. ; Photographs; 8 1/2 x 10 3/4; 136 pages; Cover has very slight bumping. DJ has light rubbing and bumping; in a mylar cover. .
