| 520 | _a"The Horse in America" by John Gilmer Speed is a practical treatise on equine types commonly found in the United States, written in the early 20th century. This work explores the history, breeding, and characteristics of various horse breeds in America, encompassing the evolution of the horse from prehistoric times to the contemporary era. The author emphasizes not only the significance of horses in American agriculture and culture but also the economic implications of ensuring high-quality breeding practices. The opening of the book sets the tone by establishing the author’s intent to provide a comprehensive overview of horses in America without falling into the biases common in previous literature. Speed reflects on the historical roots of the horse in the Americas and discusses the early introductions of various breeds, such as the Arabian and Barb horses, as well as the thoroughbred. He addresses the need for a more inclusive treatment of the subject, aiming to equip readers with valuable knowledge about the horses' evolution and breeding methods, thereby increasing their value in a rapidly changing world influenced by mechanization and modern transportation.
