BULLIS BOOKS ABOUT HORSES

Somewhere in the Bullis family history, there must be several horses - here and there. One reason we make this assumption is that the Bullis collection has several books on the subject.

So for all you horse-lovers out there, we invite you to stop in and take a look at one or more in this group of fiction and non-fiction books about your favorite animal:

Morgan Horses: 

A premium essay on the origin, history, and 

characteristics of this remarkable American breed of horses;

tracing the pedigree from the original Justin Morgan, through

the most noted of his progeny, down to the present time.

By D. C. Linsley

Published in New York by C. M. Saxton and Company, 1857

(Note: This book has numerous portraits, to which are added

information about general use and management of horses.)

Black Beauty

(Note: You read this as a child - is it time for you to enjoy it again?)

Special Report on Diseases of the Horse

By L. Pearson and others

Published in Washington D.C., G.P.O., 1923

Examination of a sick horse, fundamental principles of disease of the

eye, nervous system, heart, wounds and their treatment;

Wild Animal Ways

By Ernest Thompson Seton

Published in Garden City, New York, Doubleday, Page & Company, 1916

(Note: This collection of short stories contains one titled"Coaly-Bay, The Outlaw Horse." 

The first sentence explains: "Coaly-bay sounds like Kolibey, which is an Arab title of nobility, and those who saw the handsome colt, and did not know how he came by the name, 

thought he must be of Arab blood." 

So the next time you're in MPL, you can look at these books - or any other in the collection - by inquiring at the front desk and making arrangements. It's as simple as that.
