There was a time when men rode north before there was a west. Here are the scenes of those times rendered by the talented brush of author-artist Tom Lea. These were the days when a man was judged by his mettle and his quality was best mesaured by his conduct in the saddle. A time when the noble horse was not only a usefull animal in daily service but a weapon of conquest. This is a great book for the horse lover many of the old spanish training methods are covered.
