Valuable compilation of many facts about ca. 500 Texas-related running horses from the first mention of a "fine horse" in a Texas newspaper up to the year that Texas became a state--race results, newspaper articles, ads, record books, archival material, reminiscences, etc. The author defines "fine" as a horse whose name made it into print as worth betting on, buying or selling, or breeding. Lots hard-to-fine details here. All the horses are indexed. (Wells 4785) Can be sent outside the US for less than the default shipping rate.
