The true story of the great Dan Patch is a trip back in time told with great humor and insight. Charles Leerhsen has put in the work it takes to tell the truth about a period in America's sporting life that we know surprisingly little about. You'll find an amazing array of human characters and a physically flawed yet incredibly dominant champion horse in Dan Patch. It's a great read about America in general and the sports world in particular of a hundred plus years ago.
Very informative, well written' contains a lot of small town trials and tribulations that one can identify with and of course the humor of it all. My Grandfather was one of those many that got to put his hand on Dan Patch. He was extremely proud of this. I have a (Grandfpa's) Print Picture of 3 Champion Stallions. Dan Patch 1:55 - Geo Gano 2:02 - Minor Heir 1:58 1/2 -- M.W Savage Owner. It is awsome. The Shag.

As a resident of Oxford, Indiana which was the birth place of Dan Patch, I was interested in the book. I found it enjoyable to read as I was familiar with many of the names and even a few individuals named in the book. Overall, I was very pleased with this purchase.
