Making The American Thoroughbred: Especially In Tennessee, 1800-1845; Including Reminiscences Of The Turf is a comprehensive historical account of the development of the American Thoroughbred horse breed, with a particular focus on the state of Tennessee during the period from 1800 to 1845. The author, James Douglas Anderson, is a well-known expert in the field of equine history and breeding, and this book is widely regarded as a seminal work in the field.The book begins with an overview of the early history of horse breeding in America, tracing the roots of the Thoroughbred breed back to its origins in England. Anderson then turns his attention to the specific conditions and circumstances that led to the development of the breed in Tennessee, including the influence of the state's unique geography and climate, as well as the contributions of individual breeders and horsemen.Throughout the book, Anderson provides detailed profiles of some of the most important Thoroughbred horses and breeders of the era, including such legendary figures as Andrew Jackson and General William T. Lewis. He also explores the cultural and social significance of horse racing and breeding during this period, and provides fascinating insights into the lives and experiences of the people involved in the sport.In addition to its historical and cultural significance, Making The American Thoroughbred is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in the practical aspects of horse breeding and management. Anderson provides detailed information on topics such as breeding techniques, training methods, and veterinary care, drawing on his extensive experience as a breeder and trainer of Thoroughbred horses.Overall, Making The American Thoroughbred is a rich and engaging work that offers a unique perspective on the history of American horse breeding and racing, as well as a wealth of practical information for anyone involved in the care and management of horses.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
