Horses in society : a story of animal breeding and marketing [culture], 1800-1920
"Horses in Society is the story of horse production in the United States, Britain, and Canada at the height of the species' usefulness, the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Margaret E. Derry shows how horse breeding practices used during this period to heighten the value of the animals in the marketplace incorporated an intriguing cross section of influences, including Mendelism, eugenics, and Darwinism."--Jacket
