4.0 out of 5 stars
An informed and accurate text, the other reviewer is wrong,
By bijan olfati (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: After Columbus: The Horse's Return to America (Smithsonian Wil Heritage Collection) (Hardcover)
Don't listen to the guy who gave this book only one star. The research carried out by the author is accurate and correct. Columbus did in fact re-introduce the horse (inadvertently)to North America. If you're really that curious about it all then read 'The Nature of Horses'. I forget the name of the author but it is a first-class scientific account of the evolution of the horse and its escape from extinction by domestication (yes it's true, if we didn't enjoy giddy-upping so much on the backs of horses or getting them to pull stuff there would be no more of the majestic creatures around!). What the previous reviewer mistook as propaganda is actually the product of sound archaeology and zoology. There you have it, straight from the horses...

Another Save the Wild Horses Book!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: After Columbus: The Horse's Return to America (Smithsonian Wil Heritage Collection) (Hardcover)
Why does it seem that the horse story get's twisted into the youth of this country. This is More Propaganda to save the wild horses. I am tired of this agenda being fed to my children
