Excerpt from Sketches, Historical and Descriptive, of Noted Maine Horses, Past and Present, Their Ancestors and Descendants, Vol. 1 The following work, which is intended to be both a stud book and trotting register of Maine-bred horses, was undertaken through a strong desire to trace out and preserve in a form convenient for reference, the pedigrees and performances of those noted animals whose names and achievements adorn the brightest pages of the turf history of our country. In presenting it to the public, I do so with the full under standing that trotting pedigrees are very unreliable, and, although I have endeavored, as far as possible, to establish the breeding of every animal, there are so many ways in which errors may creep in, that I should not dare to assert that they are, in all cases, absolutely correct. Neither would I assert that the list is complete and satisfactory in every respect, only that it is as nearly so as I am able to command. If any one has knowledge of any errors or omissions, I will esteem it a favor to be informed of the fact, and should another edition be issued, the proper corrections will be made. I can only say that I have earnestly sought after the truth, with nothing added and nothing taken away. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
