No 410301, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Agricultural Library (NAL) got underway in the late 1800’s, when horsepower was at its height to assist farmers. This bibliography on horses in history is an attempt to give the reader an idea of the nature and scope of the collections at the National Agricultural Library. It does not list every title and collection on horses in the library, but tries to list some of the more important ones. The authors attempted to list books on a wide variety of topics related to equines: the development of the Thoroughbred horse in England, veterinary care, horse management, horses, mules, asses, wild horses, and burros in the American West, equines in the military, various types and breeds of horses, farrier or blacksmith skills, racers, trotters, horses in competition, training horses, etc. Most items listed are from English or American publishers. The titles chosen are in English and are from 1600s to 1980.
