Infos

Provides an entertaining and well-researched look at one of the most controversial animal welfare issues of our time—the protection of free-roaming horses on public lands. This is the first book in decades to include the entire story of these magnificent animals, from their evolution and biology to their historical integration into conquistador, Native American, and cowboy cultures.
