This special re-print edition of Anderson and Peyton's "Making the American Thoroughbred Horse" is considered one of the most important works ever published on the Thoroughbred Horse.

Chapters include Generall Speaking on the Thoroughbred Horse, English Aristocrats, First Families of Virginia, Hardy Tennessee Pioneers, Knee Deep In Clover, The Sumner County Breeding Center, Tennessee and North Alabama and Getting Their Money Back. Also included are details on numerous historic races and the top early breeders and horses of their time.
