Autorenporträt

This book took a long time to get published. Ed Roberts of Fort Worth, who years ago developed the youth program for the Appaloosa Horse Club and is now retired after a 26-year career as executive secretary of the American Paint Horse Association, started research for such a book in the 1950s. Ed is a graduate of Oklahoma State University and a life-long horse historian who began collecting articles on early-day horse breeders beginning the middle of the last century. He did a series of recorded interviews with the late Mavis Peavy beginning in 1964, and she and her ranching partner, the late Ned Snader, became lifelong friends with Ed. Meanwhile, Phil Livingston of Weatherford, Tex., retired horse editor of Western Livestock Journal and retired editor of the Paint Horse Journal, is a contemporary and friend to Ed. Both men grew up obsessed with the history and development of great horses, and it was inevitable that they would find each other and collaborate on a book: War Horse-Mounting the Cavalry with America's Finest Horses.
