This is an excellent book. I read, Come On Seabiscuit in the early 1960's and saw the Disney movie "Seabiscuit" in 2003. This book is about an AWESOME small racehorse that beat the odds with the help of his owner, trainer and jockey. Seabiscuit gave the people of America Hope during the Great Depression. The author, Laura Hillenbrand gives a very detailed story of the life of Seabiscuit, Charles Howard, his owner, Tom Smith his trainer, and Red Pollard his jockey. I LOVE this book!
Book is in excellent condition, quick shipping, very pleased. True story of one of the most famous race horses in history. Author keeps you drawn to the story of all people involved in the horse's life as well as the world of race horsing during the 1930's. More detail than the movie could provide, and fills in the actual accounts that the movie could not. If you love horses and the movie, you will want to read this book.
