A stampeding, crusading history of horses in America during the last half-millennium . . . a spirited defense of the wild horse, as well as a rousing, sweeping account of the horse from the arrival of the conquistadors, who would not have been able to subdue North America without it . . . a well-written, welcome work of history and advocacy.

A LOS ANGELES TIMES BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR Like the best nonfiction writers of our time (Jon Krakauer and Bruce Chatwin come to mind), Stillman's prose is inviting, her voice authoritative and her vision imaginative and impressively broad. --Los Angeles Times A fascinating narrative with all the grace and power embodied in the wild horses that once populated the Western range by the hundreds of thousands . . . [A] magnificently told saga. - - Albuquerque Journal Powerful... Stillman's talent as a writer makes this impossible [to stop reading], to the mustang's benefit. -- Orion A circumspect writer passionate about her purpose can produce a significant gift for readers. Stillman's wonderful chronicle of America's mustangs is an excellent example. --Seattle Times Brisk, smart, thorough, and surprising. --Atlantic Monthly Stillman's work is a must-read, a must-know, and a call to action for all those who hope to save the American mustang. --The Equestrian News Rich image
