This is a photographic essay of the return of the horse to the Americas, after an absence of 8,000 to 10,000 years, on the second voyage of Christopher Columbus, in 1493.
With 164 pages of photographs and 60 pages of text, Vavra weaves the romantic story of the horses' ocean journey from Spain to the New World.
This hand-stitched book, with a gold-embossed cover, contains some of Vavra's best equine photographs and includes poetry, fine equine drawings and a fascinating story.
A posthumous printing of an interview between James Michener and Vavra rounds out this unusual book.
