About this book
The Horse of America in His Derivation, History, and Development by John Hankins Wallace traces the horse’s ancestors from the first dawnings of history to the writer’s present. The title page promises an account of colonial horses, giving their history, size, gaits and characteristics in each of the American colonies. The announced scope includes how the trotting horse is bred and a history of publications through which the breed of trotters was established.
A quoted account describes saddle horses as not very large but hardy, strong and fleet, able to pace naturally and pleasantly at a prodigious rate. The description of Ethan Allen calls him a handsome, bright bay horse, less than fifteen hands high, with three white feet and a star.
