Kathy Furr Hinesburg, VT Past, present and future- the author begins an odyssey with a question. If you don't know where the start was, then how can it go on. Dennis invites the reader to follow in his footsteps on a journey to discover the rough, rugged and not for the light-hearted life of Justin Morgan, pioneer, singing master, horseman and teacher living on the Town Line. Dorrice Hammer Shelburne, VT Not much has been known about the early years of Justin Morgan and his horse Figure, the founding stallion of the Morgan horse breed. This book is rewarding on many levels, from the historical insights it provides to the up-to-date methods of research described. Morgan horse lovers in particular owe Mr. Tatro special thanks for his admirable efforts.
