Book excerpt: Excerpt from Frank Forester's Horse and Horsemanship of the United States and British Provinces of North America, Vol. 1 of 2 With a strain of thorough-blood, derived undoubtedly from the best stock of the mother country, but now entirely acclimated, and in some degree altered or modified by climature and breed, and trained under different auspices, subject to widely-different diseases, the consequence of different temperatures and treat ment, and run under different conditions of time, weight, and distance - in a word, educated, used and handled under circum stances wholly variant - we have been contented, hitherto, to depend absolutely on English authorities. We have no history of the Turf of America, unless such as may be gleaned from the chance notices of daily journals, or the statistical information to be culled from the dry details of the Stud Book and Turf Register, or from reference to the spirited and glowing race records of The Spirit of the Times.
