 <\/p>\n

Thoroughly engrossing and compelling\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this ambitious book about the powerful influence of horse on US history, Soplop delivers a gripping account of North American history, charting horse\u2019s progression across the Great Plains. Registering the evolution of the horse, which started fifty-five million years ago, Soplop maps its extinction in North America, its reintroduction to the continent by the Spanish, the explosions of wild horses across the West, the emergence of the Comanche, the fearless indigenous warriors of North America, the arrival of Pony Express, and many more compelling facts and histories. Soplop\u2019s writing is assured and her prose full of cohesion and clarity of purpose. Robert Spannring\u2019s pen and ink illustrations are striking, and Soplop\u2019s arresting photography adds further depth to the account. Soplop delivers a unique and enlightening portrait of horse\u2019s role in development of the country. A fun and fascinating read, the book will make for a great resource book for classroom and library shelves.<\/p>\n
