Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The National Register of Norman Horses: With a General History of the Horse-Kind and a Thorough History of the Norman Horse In 1880, nearly two hundred of the leading Importers and Breeders of Norman horses, in America, formed themselves into a National Association, with the view of publishing a stud-book in which all full-blooded French draught horses can be properly registered, whether such animals be of Augeron, of Breton, of Boulonnais, of Cauchois, of Percheron, or of any other local origin. The formation of this body was due to the manifest want of an American register of the above description. The Association having, through its directors, gathered from France the official information required to show what the French draught horse is, employed Mr. James M. Hiatt, the well-known author and journalist, to write for the work an introductory history. A careful examination of that part of the book will surely convince anybody that he is one of the most thoroughly qualified men for such a task that could have been selected. To the material furnished him he has made many important additions. By drawing upon his large fund of scientific and historical knowledge, and by bestowing upon his labor the fruits of a ripe scholarship, he has greatly enriched what without these contributes would have been dry detail.
