lllMO A/ •r/fc-y* < ••.-; Justin Morgan Prom wood cut in "Morgan Horses" Frontispiece. The picture of Justin Morgan that we present as a frontispiece is from Mr. Linsley's book, where it appears with the following letters : ST. JOHNSBURY, VT., JULY 7, 1856. D. C. Linsley, Esq. Dear Sir : Your favor of the 3d inst. is at hand, as also the accompanying drawing of old Justin Morgan. I knew the horse well and owned him about seven years while in the prime of his life. The drawing is a very faithful representation of him as he appeared while I owned him, and I can suggest scarcely any alteration; perhaps none that would make it a more faithful copy of the original. Yours respectfully, DAVID Goss. DERBY LINE, VT., JULY 21, 1856. D. C. Linsley, Esq.: Your favor of the i8th inst., containing a 'drawing of the old Justin Morgan, has this day come to hand, and I hasten to reply. In early life it was my privilege to know the original Morgan horse perfectly well, and for some time to see him daily at the time of his greatest popularity, and I have no hesitation in saying that the draw- ing exhibited, in my judgment, is remarkably correct, and gives a very accurate delineation of the horse as he appeared in life. I remain, dear sir, yours truly and very respectfully, SOLO. STEELE. CLAREMONT, N. H., JULY, 1856. D. C. Linsley, Esq. Dear Sir : I received a line from you yesterday, and with it a drawing of the old Justin Morgan or Goss horse. As I have before told you, I knew the horse well, having seen him often, and kept him one year while Joel Goss owned him. He was far the best horse I ever had anything to do with, and my recollection of him is perfectly clear and distinct. The drawing you send is a very excellent likeness of him, and I am pleased to see an effort mak- ing, even at this late day, to preserve some record of him. Yours respectfully, DAN.

REGISTER PRINTING COMPANY 1894 SF V Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1892, By JOSEPH BATTELL, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. Hast thou given the horse strength ? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength : he goeth on to meet the armed men. He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage : neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha ; and smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. 333380 vi THE MORGAN HORSE for nearly a century, probably originated. Thus certainly the progeny of Janus, foaled in England in 1746, and imported to Virginia in 1752, got by Janus, son of Godolphin Arabian, dam by Fox,and second dam by Bald Gal- loway, became almost an established family, and, it is said, were very similar to the Morgans both in contour and great speed. Thus the extraordinary and useful qualities of the grand horse Messenger were impressed upon his progeny ; and so, too, the original Morgan had this quality in a remarkable degree. We see, then, that by the aid of these two great principles, Heredity and Prepotency, man can accomplish in breeding about anything that he wishes. His part is one of selection. He chooses the individuals to be bred, and Nature by her unerring laws does the rest. Darwin says : " Although ,man does not cause variability and cannot even prevent it, he can select, preserve and accumulate the variations given to him by the hand of nature almost in any way which he chooses ; and thus can produce a great result." Again he says : " Selection may be followed either methodically and in- tentionally, or unconsciously and unintentionally. Man may select and pre- serve each successive variation, with the distinct intention of improving and altering a breed, in accordance with a preconceived idea ; and by thus add- ing up variations, often so slight as to be imperceptible by an uneducated eye, he has effected wonderful changes and improvements. It can, also, be clearly shown that man, without any intention or thought of improving the breed, by preserving in each successive generation the individuals which he prizes most, and by destroying the worthless individuals, slowly, though surely, induces great changes. As the will of man thus comes into play, we can understand how it is that domesticated breeds show adaptation to his wants and pleasures. We can further understand how it is that domestic races of animals and cultivated races of plants often exhibit an abnormal character as compared with natural species ; for they have been modified not for their own benefit, but for that of man." John Fiske, in "Excursions of an Evolutionist," says: "The instances are very numerous indeed in which variations — and very marked ones, too — have been wrought in the characteristics of plants and animals through the agency of man. The phenomena of variation presented by animals and plants under domestication are so numerous and so complex that it would require many volumes to describe them. Dogs, horses, pigs, cattle, sheep rabbits, pigeons, poultry, silk-moths, cereal and culinary plants, fruits and flowers innumerable have been reared and bred by man for many long ages, — some of them from time immemorial. These domesticated organisms man has caused to vary, in one direction or another, to suit his natural or artificial needs, or even the mere whim of his fancy. The variations, more- over, which have thus been produced have been neither slight nor unimpor- tant, and have been by no means confined to superficial characteristics. Compare the thoroughbred race-horse with the gigantic London dray-horse on the one hand, and the Shetland pony on the other ; or, among pigeons, PREFACE vii contrast the pouter with the fan-tail, the barb, the short-faced tumbler, or the jacobin, all of which are historically known to have descended from one and the same ancestral form. The differences extend throughout the whole bony framework as well as throughout the muscular and nervous systems, and exceed in amount the differences by which naturalists often adjudge species to be distinct. Through what agency has man produced such results as these ? He has produced them simply by taking advantage of a slight ten- dency to variation which exists perpetually in all plants and animals, and which exhibits itself in the simple fact that nowhere do we ever find any two individuals exactly alike. Taking advantage of these individual variations, the breeder simply selects the individuals which best suit his purpose, and breeds them apart by themselves. The qualities for which they are selected are propagated and enhanced through inheritance and renewed selection in each succeeding generation, until by the slow accumulation of small differ- ences a new race is formed. And thus we have peaches and almonds from a common source, grapes to eat and grapes to make wine of, pointer dogs and mastiffs, and so on throughout the list of cultivated plants and domesti- cated animals." It should not be forgotten that Nature herself is the great breeder, not only entailing inheritances, or creating with prepotent force, but also making her own selections through the great law of the survival of the fittest. But if man can get what he breeds for it is very evident that he should breed for the best. In late years the principal efforts of American breeders of horses of the roadster class have been directed to produce the fastest trotter or pacer. These efforts have been remarkably successful, but certain results of form, style and uniformity have been largely overlooked or sacrificed. It would seem to be full time when a higher aim should be attempted. Not the fastest horse, but the best horse, should be the object of breeding. For him who achieves this standard there will be abundance of room. To meet this want THE MORGAN REGISTER has been established. Its object, also, is to produce this horse as a type, so that in every colt we shall be reasonably sure to get the horse we want. And the means used are what are believed to be a necessary means for such result, a blood basis, which will permit the great law of nature to operate, of "like producing like." In this best horse constitution, form, style, disposition, intelligence and beauty are all to be considered. A cheerful disposition for work is very essential ; a truly satisfactory roadster needs no whip. We have not in what we have written intended to diparage the great quality of speed. The perfect horse should be the fastest horse. But we should not accept speed, no matter how great, unless combined with the other qualities essential to the perfect horse. It is, of course, more difficult to produce all the desired qualities than a single one of them, but it is easily within the great law of breeding, and therefore should be done. In speed, too, as well as in superiority of form, style, intelligence and beauty, the Morgan horse has always excelled. Because of it, in part, has come his great reputation as a roadster ; and while perhaps a certain type viii THE MORGAN HORSE of Morgan horse might well be bred more fitted for draft than speed, and another line might also be bred especially adapted to safe family use, the fastest line of Morgan horses, we have no doubt, will continue, in the future as in the past, to assert their superiority on the turf as well as on the road, and the 2 :o8 of Lord Clinton in a race, we doubt not, will yet be reduced to 2 :oo by a Morgan horse. In preparing this work we have been very ably assisted by W. H. Bliss, Esq., of Middlebury, Vermont. The work was begun with him in 1884, and finds us still working together at its close. His excellent judgment as a lawyer and eminent talent as a writer have been constantly at command, and entered largely into the warp and woof of the book. We are also under much obligation to the Hon. Chauncey Smith of Cambridge, Massachusetts, one of the most eminent lawyers and clearest thinkers of the country, for valuable counsel and advice. We are also under special obligations to the "General Stud Book ", pub- lished by the Messrs. Weatherbee of London, England, for information on remote pedigrees, and other valuable historical matter. We have had occa- sion to criticise their record of several American horses, that doubtless they copied from American authorities, but as a whole their work appears to be very carefully edited. In Volume II. of THE MORGAN REGISTER, that is now very largely pre- pared for the press, there will be hundreds of old-time Morgan sires that do not appear in this volume. The arrangement will be in alphabetical order, and all horses in this volume will be entered in that, and proper reference made to the page on which they appear in this. In many cases later or more extended information will appear of horses recorded in this book. We shall also begin in Volume II. to record certain animals under their dams, following in this the English, and, as we understand it, the Arabian or oriental system of registration. Only the choicest of brood mares will appear in this way, such as have proved most valuable from their own quality or the character of their produce. A careful study of the first volume of the English "General Stud Book", edition of 1891, has convinced us that there is no system in which pedigrees can be so accurately and concisely recorded, and so certainly traced, as this. In the American system of separate record there are certain advantages, espe- cially in giving the history of each animal, and in the greater facility in which the record can be made, that make it desirable, as we think, to also continue that system of recording. Some of our friends have become impatient at the time consumed in the preparation of this work, but to those who have ever undertaken any similar work, or who understand its nature, this time will not seem long. After nine years we bring the first volume to a close, with the second one largely prepared. The preface to the first volume of the " General Stud Book " shows that the collecting of pedigrees for that work began previous to 1791, but the first volume was not published until 1808. Mr. Sanders D. Bruce, editor of the "American Stud Book", states in the preface of his first volume, PREFACE IX published in 1873, that more than twenty years had been taken in gathering the information. Mr. Edgar, who published the first American stud book, thus writes in his preface : " The compilation of a General Stud Book in England has been one of immense labor, although that island is a great deal smaller than this continent. Notwithstanding difficulties I have attempted the completion of a work which has been begun by others, who at last abandoned it as a piece of fruitless and unprofitable labor". He then suggests that after many years of indefatigable study and anxious ob- servation he has " at last brought the work to a close," and adds : " Many are the works of human industry which to begin and finish are hardly ever granted to the same person. He that undertakes the compilation of an American Stud Book undertakes that which if it comprehends the fullest ex- tent of his designs, he knows himself unable to perform, because perfection is unattainable by man, though he may make nearer and nearer approaches to it." And again, in the valedictory he says : " The compiler begs leave to remind his fellow-citizens that no less than twelve gentlemen have attempted this Herculean task and failed, and that he is the first who has succeeded in bringing the result of his labors before the public. The past eighteen years have been entirely devoted to travelling in various sections of the United States, and in carrying on an extensive correspondence with gentlemen throughout this country as well as in Europe. * * * and the matter con- tained in the foregoing pages as well as in the second volume is the result ". It will therefore be seen that standard works of this kind, if carefully prepared from original sources, have always required many years in their preparation. In our own work these years have been reduced by the assist- ance of many competent helpers, to whom, and to all who have aided us in obtaining information, we would here return our hearty thanks.

In stating pedigrees we set down whatever information we have, and stop ; not deeming it necessary to add explanatory words, such as " untraced," or "breeding unknown." We generally follow back the line at least two generations, and often more, or until we strike the name of some well-known horse. In the case of the following noted horses, however, we give the name only, and whenever the name is used alone it refers to the horse mentioned in this table : Black Hawk, Bulrush Morgan, Daniel Lambert, Ethan Allen, Fearnaught, Gen. Knox, Gifford Morgan, Golddust, Green Mountain Morgan, Magria Charta, Morrill, Sherman Black Hawk, Sherman Morgan, Winthrop Morrill, Woodbury Morgan, Young Morrill, means that son of Perkins' Sherman Morgan. Justin Morgan. Ethan Allen. Black Hawk. Young Morrill. Vermont Hero. Woodbury Morgan. Vermont Morgan. Gifford Morgan. Morgan Eagle. Jennison Colt. Black Hawk. Justin Morgan. Young Morrill. Justin Morgan. Morrill. The tables of performers in the body of this work are from the best in- formed sources and include the results of much investigation made by ourselves, but we have not undertaken to verify each pedigree. In records we intend to confine ourselves strictly to those made in a dona- fide races. We do this because, first, no comparison of speed is just unless conditions are similar ; and records made against time are always made with quite dissimilar conditions from those made in races. A number of these alleged time records, and some of them quite important, that we have seen made, were grossly irregular, the horses running quite a share of the distance ; yet the results were proclaimed from the stand without hesitation, and the horses were duly accredited with the "records" thus obtained. On the other hand, in dona-fide races, the rules are generally so far enforced, at least, that no horse gets a record faster than the time honestly made ; so that nearly all race records are fairly obtained. In the tables of performers the "turf period" given is the first and the last year in which the animal was a winner. Performers are arranged in the or- der of number of races won, because in our opinion that is ordinarily the best test of merit — a horse capable of winning many races being generally more valuable than one capable of winning few or none, though the latter be faster for a single mile, and thereby take a faster record. We give transfers in the order in which they occurred, so far as we have knowledge ; but our knowledge at the best is very incomplete, and we would take this opportunity to urgently request all our friends who preceive errors in this work, or have further information of horses that appear in this work, or who know of other Morgan horses than appear here, to forward us this in- Xll THE MORGAN HORSE formation, so that the proper corrections and additions may be made in Vol- ume II. This work is illustrated entirely with photogravures, that are themselves reproductions of photographs from nature *>r from life, where it has been possible to obtain such. In a few cases of horses not living it has been nec- essary to copy such pictures as have been handed down, more or less accu- rate, as the case might be ; but in the case of horses yet alive we have re- fused to accept any pictures except those taken bv the sun. A fine paint- ing is valuable, but what we want, generally, from the picture of a horse, is to know how he looks, and for this purpose a photograph is the most if not the only available picture. Of course the compiler of this work should have had access to the stud books of Black Hawk, and so several years since we applied to the ex- ecutors of the estate of the late Noble H. Hill of Boston, in whose care we understood the books to be, for this privilege. They were very willing that we should take the books, and referred us for them to Allen W. Thomson of Woodstock, Vt., who, as they understood, had borrowed but never returned them. We at once wrote to Mr. Thomson to know where the books were, and received a reply, stating that he refused to answer any questions con- cerning the books of Black Hawk. We have therefore been unable to get the books, and doubtless there will appear, in this work, errors in dates of the foaling of the get of Black Hawk, that with access to these books might have been corrected. This we regret, but it is not a matter of great moment. The books, however, are valuable and should be recovered by their owners. JOSEPH BATTELL. Middlebury, Vt., Jan. 9, 1894. RULES OF ADMISSION TO THE MORGAN REGISTER. Any animal in either of the following classes is eligible to registry in THE MORGAN REGISTER. 1. Any meritorious stallion or mare that traces in direct male line to the original Justin Morgan Horse, and has at least one sixty-fourth of his blood. 2. The produce of a sire and dam both registered in THE MORGAN REGISTER. Stallions foaled in or before 1880 are admitted free. A fee of two dol- lars is charged for registering stallions one year old or more, foaled since 1880, and one dollar each for colts less than one year old, and mares of any age. The " Middlebury Register " is the recognized organ of THE MORGAN REGISTER, and will print in its columns, free, the pedigrees of horses sent in for registration. This will give opportunity to make corrections or changes, if desired.

Fiom a painting by H. Hardy INTRODUCTION For a long time many persons have been impressed with the idea that steps ought to be taken to perpetuate the valuable family of Morgan horses. One of the first essentials to this end was seen to be a Register, without which systematic and scientific breeding is hardly possible. We believe that the true basis of registration is blood, and that the object of the breeder should be to produce a type of animals, as nearly perfect as may be, that may be re- produced with uniformity. This result has been attained among the various species of domestic animals that are known as pure-bred, as the greyhound and pointer among dogs, the Merino and Cotswold among sheep and the Jersey and Devonshire among cattle. There are, also, types of horses that are reproduced with great uniformity, notably the Shetland pony and the Percheron and Clyde draft animals ; but the light harness horse of the pre- sent day, however excellent he may be as an individual, is, in breeding, a mongrel, his mingled strains of various bloods making the character of his offspring always to some extent a matter of uncertainty. The prevailing system of registration, based upon no quality save the ability to trot or pace a fast mile, has no tendency to check this evil, but rather fosters it ; as every variety of size, color, gait, conformation and disposition is to be found among standard trotting-bred animals. The "old-fashioned Morgans" were doubtless the nearest approach to a uniform and meritorious type of road horses ever produced in this country. The blood of the founder of that family was endowed with such prepotency that even a small infusion would govern other mingled strains and produce the Morgan characteristics. Moreover, the great popularity of the breed led to intense inbreeding, not often among animals too nearly related, but be- tween those nearly enough allied to each other to produce typical results. Hence resulted THE MORGAN HORSE, a type so well known, and so often described within, that it would be superfluous to give the description here ; a type that has endured to the present day, although the numbers have been in recent years greatly reduced by crosses intended to enhance the quality of racing speed with little regard to other characteristics. We do not disparage the work already done in the registry of horses in this country. A vast amount has been accomplished in redeeming the line- age of the light harness horse of America from chaos, and giving to the breeder or dealer a line of established facts, instead of a series of guesses made with greater or less attempt at accuracy. The trouble with breeding 2 THE MORGAN HORSE road horses on its present basis is that, unless assisted by long and careful selection by breeders in a given line, no uniformity of offspring is produced. So that, while we know perfectly well what to expect when we are to be shown a Percheron, one of a line of draft horses reduced to a type, we have no idea what the animal will be like when a trotter or roadster is to be .exhibited. In establishing the rule, that the foundation stock to be entered in the MORGAN REGISTER should trace in direct .male line to Justin Morgan and have at least one sixty-fourth of his blood, we have been governed by the following considerations: The natural -division of horses into families, as Morgan, Messenger, Bellfounder, Bashaw and the like, is by male line ; and this has been established by custom among breeders as well as by writers and students of the subject. The question of how remote a descendant in direct male line should be deemed a member of the family presented some difficulty ; but, considering that the original Morgan Horse was born more than a cen- tury ago, admitting of at least twenty-five intervening generations of his blood ; that very little attempt has been made to keep a record of Mor- gan pedigrees, so that there is every probability that a given animal of Morgan characteristics, especially if bred in a Morgan region, possesses an indefinite number of unknown strains of the blood ; that as a general rule the colts tracing in male line to Justin Morgan, kept entire, have been chosen because they showed Morgan characteristics, and that the ready intelligence of breeders will enable them to choose for breeding in future those registered animals that conform most nearly to the Morgan type — we deemed it best to include animals as far down as the sixth generation in direct male descent, when no other Morgan blood came in. This gives one sixty-fourth, and for similar reasons the rule was extended to include all meritorious animals hav- ing that fraction or more of the blood, provided they trace in direct male line to Justin Morgan ; the right being reserved to reject all animals found not to be meritorious. Active work on the Morgan Register was begun in the fall of 1884, and has since been prosecuted as vigorously as circumstances would permit. As soon as the project was advertised, it met with an enthusiastic response from breeders and admirers of the Morgan Horse all over the country, demon- strating in a thousand instances the strong hold which the Morgans have on the affections of the people. The excellent work, entitled, " Morgan Horses", by D. C. Linsley of Middlebury, Vermont, published in 1857, furnished a precedent and foundation for the Morgan Register. That work gave a graphic description of the Morgan family, its history to that time, and pedigrees of about two hundred and forty stallions of the blood. Considerable portions of Mr. Linsley's work are given within ; the pedigrees published by him have been re-investigated as far as possible, but most of them have been found very correct. In the preparation of the present work, and the inquiries and investiga- tions connected therewith, extending over a period of eight years, we have used in correspondence nearly a hundred thousand letters, and have person- INTRODUCTION 3 ally visited most of the States in the Union, some of them several times, made repeated excursions into the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario, and also visited Mexico. Neither trouble nor expense has been spared to learn all pertinent facts concerning every pedigree. We have also adopted the system, which seems to us to be the only true one, of setting down as ascertained and proven only those facts which we deem to be ascertained and proven by methods and measures of proof that are sufficient. We have not stated matters as facts when all we knew was that a previous author had so stated them. For instance, having observed that statements in recorded pedigrees, that one animal was the sire of another, when the breeder is not given, are very often erroneous, we give such state- ments invariably under a " said to be". We do not give these statements at all unless we deem them probable ; so that where the expression " said to be" occurs in a pedigree in this work it means that we believe a cross pro- bable ; and in many, perhaps a majority, of cases, it will have been set down absolutely in some other work, but not otherwise proven to us. The fruits of the registration here begun are already apparent. The production of Morgan Horses as a distinct breed has been taken up in earn- est at many places throughout the country by companies and individuals, while many others are selecting, buying and selling horses of Morgan blood and type, at a profit. The best people want them for all the purposes of busi- ness and pleasure. They are acknowledged to be among the best roadsters in the world ; their intelligence and docility are unsurpassed, and their sym- metry of form and pride of carriage are proverbial. There is no question but that they would be in demand, even if none of the blood were ever again to be seen upon the track ; but we have no doubt that in the future as in the past many individuals of this family will always be found upon the trotting turf. Indeed, we should not be surprised if this should become true to a greater extent than in the past, and that the quality of long endur- ance in track work, combined with speed, which the records show that the Morgans possess to a remarkable degree ( see Appendix ) should cause them to be much sought after for racing purposes. If it be true that of late there are more Hambletonian than Morgan trotters, it is in part certainly because many times more are bred and trained for that purporse. The first horse that ever trotted a mile in 2:28 was Beppo, said to be by Gifford Morgan. The stallion record of the world has been held twice by Morgan horses ; for several years the greatest living sire of trotters was a Morgan ; a Morgan horse was the first to get three trotters in the 2.30 list, and another Morgan was the first to get six in the same list; and the record for fastest mile ever trotted any way of going has been held for fifteen out of the last twenty-five years by a Morgan — the 2.15 of Ethan Allen, and the 2.06 of H. B. Winship, each with running mate. The fastest trotting record in a race for a number of years was 2 : 08^, made with running mate by Frank, another strongly inbred Morgan ; the fastest mile ever paced was and still is 2 : 01%, made with running mate by Westmont, whose dam was Annie, by Cottrill Morgan. Johnston 2 :o6^ had for a number of years the fastest 4 THE MORGAN HORSE pacing record and still is, we think, all things considered, the greatest pacer to date ; ahorse that is now (1892) doing fast work in his ninth season on the turf, winner of 19 races and with 91 heats in 2 : 30 and better, and several fast- est records yet to his credit. The sire of Johnston is recorded in this Register and was of Morgan and thoroughbred blood. Lord Clinton 2 : 10)^ in a winning race (a race record at the close of 1892 never beaten by a gelding) and winner of 21 of the 27 races he has trot- ted, is by an inbred Morgan horse of the Ethan Allen strain, and has no known trotting inheritance from his dam. Kitty Bayard holds the half-mile track race record in 2 : 12^. Nelson-2 : 10, that has several times held the stallion record of the world, which he would probably hold to-day had he not been ruled off from all fast tracks the last season, and whose 2:11^ against the watch is the fastest time ever made on a half-mile track, is largely of Morgan blood. The double team record (2:12^) is held by Honest George and Belle Hamlin. Honest George is Morgan on both sides, while Belle Hamlin traces four times to the great Morgan sire, Black Hawk, and carries twice as much of his blood as of that of Hambletonian. These instances might be extended indefinitely, and are especially prominent in long-distance trotting, where there is more of Morgan blood so far as known than belongs to any other one family. But we have men- tioned enough, we think, to show that the Morgan blood is capable of going as fast as any, and may at any time capture any record. The Table of Fifty- Race Trotters given in the appendix, as also that of Ten-Race Winners, shows that for the quality of endurance, that enables a horse to live out many con- tests, the Morgan is in the first position. It is a significant fact that four stallions recorded in the Morgan Regis- ter, two tracing to Sherman, and one to Woodbury Morgan, appear in the list of fourteen sires selected as the foundation stock for their Register by the National Saddle-Horse Breeders' Association, organized in Kentucky in 1891. We decided to admit the Pilot family because the place and time in which he was bred, as well as the quality of the horse, suggested strongly that he was a Morgan, at least on one side, and our tracing, so far as we were able to trace, sustained this theory ; so that he and the famous Dan- sereau breed to which he belonged seemed fairly entitled to a place in this Register. These are rated as possessing one-eighth Morgan blood. The investigation of the pedigree of nearly every Morgan horse involves the examination of several others in collateral lines. In the nearly five thousand pedigrees registered in this volume, a large proportion of the noted horses of America are named. Of course, no breeder of Morgan stock can know all that is to be known of the origin of his own stock without an ex- haustive knowledge of the pedigrees of those animals whose blood comes in collaterally to the main line. -Many of them of necessity must be outside the Morgan family. INTRODUCTION 5 Not a few of these animals can be found set down, with more or less accuracy, in the eleven volumes of the American Trotting Register, in the Breeders' Trotting Stud Book, in Wallace's American Stud Book, in the works of Edgar or Herbert, or elsewhere. Many of them would be found registered in a grossly inaccurate way, and, in nearly all, the au- thor's guess would stand side by side with the ascertained fact, with no mark to indicate which was the fact and which the guess. Great num- bers of these pedigrees would not be found at all, as they have been entered in no book of registration, and are to be discovered only by patient examination of files of ancient newspapers, or by interviews with aged peo- ple ; and this class of unregistered pedigrees is by no means confined to obscure horses, but in it are some of the best. We early began arranging the information received as to such horses, not Morgans, as entered into the Morgan pedigrees, with a view of giving what could be learned of their pedigrees in an appendix to this volume. But we soon learned that there was too much material for an appendix, and that there was but one satisfactory course to pursue. The work must be made as full and accurate as possible, must include all noted American Horses, so far as known, and must be issued as a separate book. Such a work we have now well towards completion, and it will be issued as soon after this as possible. In it a great number of errors, many of them of long standing and connected with horses of the first consequence, will be corrected. It will contain, also, in one volume, or at the most in two, all the matter of interest now contained in a small library of horse literature, and, in addition, a very large amount that has never before been published. A most striking illustration of the necessity of a work of this character is afforded by our recent exposure, in the " Middlebury Register", of the falsity of the recorded pedigree of the dam of George Wilkes. This mare, upon a very superficial investigation as early as 1878, was set down as bred by Clark Phillips, Bristol, N. Y., and got by Henry Clay, and has so ever since stood registered. Acting upon information and suggestions in a letter of Smith Feek in the New York Sportsman, we last summer (1892) made a thorough investigation of the subject, showing that the Phillips mare called the dam was younger than George Wilkes and that his real dam was bought by James Gilbert, now of Buffalo, N. Y., of an unknown man on the road in Pennsylvania, and that her pedigree is unknown, probably hopelessly so. As another illustration: In "The Great Table" of the last Wallace American Year Book, which undertakes to give all 2 : 30 trotters and 2 125 pacers, with pedigrees so far as known, arranged under their sires, and which thus far has been generally accepted as authority, the horse Harris' Hamil- tonian (called erroneously Hambletonian) appears through himself or sons in nineteen pedigrees. Two of these are correct. All the other seventeen are without warrant, and most of them certainly incorrect ; several are unknown. We do not know that these are any better or any worse than the average of the pedigrees, not sent in by breeders, recorded in these works, and it will be readily seen how this last class would be affected by such a grotesque error as 6 THE MORGAN HORSE made a mare younger than George Wilkes his dam. Indeed, it is questionable if a single pedigree in the eleven volumes of this Register would be correct if extended according to its own instructions. One of the above-mentioned nine- teen pedigrees is that of the bay gelding John Stewart by Tom Wonder, to which in this same book two world's ten-mile records are credited, and in each the pedigree of his dam is again given, without qualification, as by Harris' Hamiltonian. In our correspondence about this mare we received the same information from one of her former owners ; but to our enquiries for the evi- dence, the answer was that the mare came from Vermont and had some white hairs on her flanks, which the writer understood was characteristic of the Harris' Hamiltonians, and he thought there was no doubt but that she was got by this horse. This gentleman, however, very willingly assisted us in tracing the mare by telling us of whom he had her, and we soon learned that she was bred by Austin Dana, Cornwall, Vt., got by Sherman Black Hawk, son of Black Hawk ; her dam also bred by Mr. Dana, got by Black Hawk, son of Sherman Morgan. Mr. Dana sold this mare to Caleb Ticknor, then of Middlebury, Vt., now of Great Barrington, Mass., who sold her to Sheldon Leavitt of Brooklyn, N. Y., and he to W. M. Parks, New York city, who bred her to Tom Wonder ; then sold her to Joseph Harker, whose property John Stewart was foaled. She was black, 15 hands, very handsome and fast. We have given much time and attention to the investigation of the ped- igree of the great sire of dams of trotters, Seely's American Star ; and have learned that he was got by a horse named American Star that was owned by a Mr. Coburn. We have learned, further, from the daughter of this Mr. Coburn that her father went from Massachusetts to New York, and perhaps pro- cured his horse in Massachusetts. There is a good deal of evidence tend- ing to show that this horse, Coburn's American Star, was a Morgan, but not sufficient, as yet, to warrant us, on that ground, in giving him a place in The Morgan Register. We hope soon, however, to clear up the remaining ques- tions on his pedigree. In the mean time, we may say, it is as absurd to re- fer to Seely's American Star as a son of Stockholm's American Star, as to call Dolly Spanker, dam of George Wilkes, a daughter of Henry Clay.

Author of "Morgan Horses" Born at Middlebury, Vermont, April 17, 1827 Died at New York city, October 7, 1889 I THE MORGAN AS A BUSINESS HORSE Mr. Linsley in Chapter III of "Morgan Horses", which chapter is headed, " Description of the Kind of Horses Most Sought for in the Principal Markets of the Country ", says : "We think the horse well adapted to the wants of the merchant and mechanic may be fairly considered a good type of the 'horse of all work', or business horse. " Before proceeding to describe what we consider should be the disting- uishing characteristics of such animals, let us fully understand what is meant by the term 'horse of all work' since it has come into very general use, 'and is frequently used by agricultural societies in this country to 'denote a class of horses. By this term we understand that kind of horse which is best adapted to general use — to work on a farm, to go to mill, to haul a coach or a buggy, to work in the field or go a journey. This is certainly the natural meaning, and we should not have thought any explanation necessary had it not sometimes been understood to mean such a horse as is best fitted for each of these different kinds of service. " To describe fully and correctly all the qualities that should be found in the horse of all work, or business horse, requires that we should enter some- what into details, for he must come up to a given standard in a greater variety of points than the horse for any other service. It is true that many of his good qualities should be found in all really valuable horses, whatever be the service to which they are put. To illustrate our meaning : The good business horse must be a fine roadster ; but a fine roadster may not necessarily be a good business horse, for he may lack that docility of temper, that quietness and perfect tractability that the latter should invariably possess. " First of all, the business horse should be compact. Youatt defines com- pactness to be : 'as much goodness and strength as ppssible in a little space'. Without this he cannot have endurance and hardiness of constitution. Next to compactness of form, he should have good limbs — a little larger than the hunter's, but the increased size should be in bone and muscle, and not in meat or hair. The limbs should be short, and the fore and hind legs should have a proper adaptation to one another ; that is, he should not have short fore legs and long hind legs, nor should he have short hind legs and long fore legs, as there should be little difference in the height of the hips and the withers, though the withers should be the highest. Horses that are highest on the hips labor much in ascending hills, though on level or descending io THE MORGAN HORSE ground they may have greater speed, but they are very liable to stumble, and are usually low-headed and heavy in hand. The fore legs, upon which mainly depend the safety and ease of the animal's movements, should be well spread at the chest, to give ample room for the full development and action of the vital organs. Measured at the chest, they should be a little wider, from out- side to outside, than at the pasterns ; but this difference should be owing to the prominence of the muscles of the forearm, more than to the general in- clination of the legs inward, or towards each other. This general inclination of the fore legs towards each other must be slight and barely noticeable, as much deviation from the perpendicular is a serious defect. The legs must be straight, bending neither outward nor inward at the knee, for all horses with such limbs have imperfect action, are inclined to cut (or interfere) and travel either upon the inside or outside of the foot. The forearm should be long, and, viewed from the side, should be wide at the top, tapering gradually to the knee, with the muscles swelling out plump and full, particularly in front. The knees should be wide and flat, free from flesh, clean and compact, with the hinder bone prominent. The knees being less liable to injury than the hocks, too little attention is generally paid to their form, and provided they are not ' sprung ' the purchaser is generally satisfied. The cannon, or the bone between the knee and fetlock, should be short and free from meat ; the back sinews should be large and flinty, and should stand well out from the bone. Viewed from the front, the legs should be thin ; viewed from the side, they should be wide and sinewy. The contrary formation, or ' tied-in back sinews', is a very serious defect, and it is almost impossible that horses with this conformation should be capable of great endurance. The fetlock should not be round, but rather wide, and thicker in front than behind. The pasterns should be short, not upright nor very sloping, for if upright, the joints will be liable to injury from the concussion attending every step ; and if, on the other hand, long and sloping, it denotes weakness. "Mr. Hinds, in his works on Farriery, says : 'Horses having long and slop- ing pasterns soon tire, and I may say are generally weak, having the flexor tendon or back sinews considerably relaxed'. It is impossible to describe exactly what should be the length and slope of the pasterns. In horses in- tended for very fast work the pasterns should be moderately long and sloping, as it gives more elasticity to the step and ability to take a long stride. Large horses should have more sloping pasterns than smaller ones, as their greater weight will add to the concussion in traveling. The hoof should be nearly round, open at the heel, smooth and hard but not brittle, without any bunches or depression, in front or at the quarters ; should be straight in front from the hair to the toe, and not be too high behind. " The shoulders should be long and oblique, thin and flat at the withers, the point pretty low and well forward. They can hardly be too oblique for the road horse, and are not objectionable except when the horse is wanted for heavy and constant draught. The hips should be long, wide and muscu- lar, the croup a little sloping, the quarters full, wide at the stifle, the stifle- AS A BUSINESS HORSE n joint well forward, and the muscles of the thigh should continue plump and full well down to the hock. The hock should be wide, short, free from all lumps, the muscles connected with it clearly denned, and the point should be long. Below the hock, the hind legs should resemble the fore legs ; they should descend perpendicularly, and the hocks should not be nearer together than the fetlocks ; it is less objectionable to have the fetlocks nearer together than the hocks, but the nearer they approach the perpendicular the better. " With such formed shoulders as we have described, the neck will almost invariably be well-placed, and the head carried high. The neck should be of moderate length, tapering well towards the head, slightly crowning on top, and very slightly curved underneath. On such shaped necks, the head is almost invariably well placed, with the muzzle neither too high, nor too low, not too much projected forward, nor too much drawn in towards the chest. When the neck is very short, the horse is apt to be heavy in hand, and want sensitiveness to the rein ; it also gives the animal an awkward and un- couth appearance. The head should be small, lean, and tapering rapidly from the jowls to the muzzle ; the jowls should be thin, but muscular, and the jaws well apart. The profile should be straight, neither ' hollow-faced ' nor ' Ro- man-nosed'— both are unsightly, and the Roman-nosed horse rarely has a good nostril ; the forehead should be long and broad, the muzzle thin, the lips small and firm, and the nostril full and prominent, showing a bright red membrane on the inside. But the eye and ear are the most important features of the head, and it is from these chiefly that we form our opinion of the horse's temper and disposition. The eyes should be placed wide apart, should be full, large and prominent, with an expression which it is almost im- possible to describe, for it is susceptible of almost as many different shades as the eye of man. It should be roving, bold and eager, but mild and pleasant. The lids should be well open when at rest, for horses who keep the lids partly closed will generally be found dull in their paces, and sullen in their tempers. The ears should be small, clean, free from many long hairs on the inside, be thin and upright, and have a fine taper from the root to the tip, which should be pointed and turned a little inward. It is not a serious objection, that they are a little large, provided they are upright, fine and lively. They should set well apart, but not very wide, for when close togeth- er they indicate a timid and skittish disposition, and when very wide they are generally thought to indicate a sluggish and stubborn temper ; besides this ob- jection, when very wide apart they set so much on the side of the head that they appear unsightly, being inclined to lean out and and become 'lop-eared'. The back should be short and nearly straight, the withers high and thin ; the body should be deep at the shoulder, the barrel round, the ribs starting from the back-bone in a direction nearly horizontal, forming what is called a broad back ; the back and hips should be well joined, or coupled ; there should be no depression just forward of the hip bones, but it should keep up plump and full ; the loins should be wide and muscular, and the hindermost rib should come out near to the hip bone, such horses being called 'well ribbed 12 THE MORGAN HORSE up'. The flanks should be deep and full. The mane should be pretty long and thick, but not so long and thick as to appear heavy. The tail should be full, heavy, and carried well up. He should be between fourteen and a half and fifteen and a half hands high — rather a little under than much above this height, and should weigh about ten hundred and fifty pounds ; his hair should be short, soft and glossy. "Such an animal, we should expect, would prove himself a fine roadster ; but we might be disappointed, for though we think it cannot be successfully denied that such a form as we have described would be well adapted for easy motion and endurance on the road ; yet he might not after all have the re- quisite courage and nervous energy ; he might take up his feet too high and put them down with a sort of thrust, which requires a great and useless expen- diture of muscular exertion, besides wearying the whole system by the con- stant and unnecessary jar ; or he might have some other awkwardness of gait that would prove a serious objection. Nor can we always judge correctly of • a horse's courage and spirit from the closest examination, without a trial of his powers. ****** " Our description, therefore, would be incomplete without describing his gait and temper. In harness, when the reins are taken up and he is told to go (he should not start before), he should raise his head a little above its position when at rest, keep it there steadily and quietly, and move off nimbly with a light, but steady and yielding pressure on the bit. His feet should be raised only enough to clear the ordinary inequalities of the ground, carried well forward in straight lines, swinging neither out nor in, and be set down evenly, so that the entire sole comes upon the ground at the same time. If the heel is set down first, it is liable to injury from the tenderness of the parts ; and if the toe is set down first, the horse will almost always prove a stumbler. The fore legs should bend well at the knee, instead of the legs be- ing raised principally by the movement of the shoulder joint, and the leg car- ried stiffly forward, causing an unsteadiness of motion and a sort of rolling from side to side. The hind legs should take up light and quick, be carried well forward under the body, and should have a peculiar, nervous, springy 'pick-up', but without any hitching or twitching of the muscles of the haunches. The step should not be long, and yet it may be too short ; obser- vation can alone determine when this is right. This much is certain, that when there is an apparent effort to reach the full length of step it is too long ; and when there is any cutting off of the natural stride, as is the case with the foundered horse, it is too short. " Of color we shall only say that he should have some dark color, for this is so entirely a matter of taste that any remarks we might offer would, after all, be little more than an assertion of our own preference, and we have sometimes been inclined to adopt the creed of a thorough horseman of our acquaintance, which is that 'a good horse is always of a good color'. " Such a horse as we have attempted to describe, we feel the greatest con- AS A BUSINESS HORSE 13 fidence in asserting, will prove admirably adapted to all ordinary kinds of service. When used upon the road, he moves off easily, quietly, and freely, with- out the least disposition to fret, at a lively pace, on a pleasant rein ; but when roused a trifle by an increased pull upon the bit, and an urging word, his head raises higher, his eye dilates, and he is at once a full hand for the best horseman. The taller, more open-built, and longer horse, with a long, reach- ing stride, may easily dash by him at the first start in the morning, but if their course is the same, and the journey be continued for a day or a week, he will have ample opportunity to renew the acquaintance. Such horses will be hardy, rarely affected with any complaint, easily kept in good condi- tion, will be always ready for use, and easily taught to perform almost any kind of service with ease to themselves and pleasure to their owners". In his fourth chapter, which is entitled, " Peculiar Adaptation of the Morgan Horse to the Road and General Use", Mr. Linsley says : " In the foregoing chapter we have endeavored to describe what we con- sidered should be the form and characteristics of the business horse, or horse of all work. Assuming that the reader is satisfied with the general soundness of the views there expressed, we now proceed to compare the Morgan horse with the standard of excellence we have there set up. First, as to compactness of form : This we have considered a primary and indis- pensable requisite in the business horse, and in this respect the Morgan par- ticularly excels ; his body is not remarkably long, but round and deep at the chest, the quarters large and full, the shoulders and hips well shaped, the loins wide and muscular, the flanks deep, and the whole form swelling with muscle and life. "There is not a single feature of his frame but gives unmistakable evi- dence of his vigorous health and iron constitution ; and though he has been, and is still, principally bred in the States of Vermont and New Hampshire — States that are notoriously hilly and mountainous, and where consequently every description of work to which he is put is more than ordinarily labor- ious— yet he is remarkably long-lived, and in his age retains his spirit and vigor. " Still another evidence of the soundness of his constitution is found in his almost universal freedom from every species of disease. Before railroads had taken the place of the stages, a great many of these horses could be found in various parte of New England that had been running for several years before a mail-coach, yet were perfectly sound, in vigorous health, and still as free in spirit as when first broken to harness. We have seen them running daily in the stage in fine condition when twenty years old, making daily trips of sixteen miles each in two hours, over a broken and mountainous country. " A single instance will illustrate both their endurance and style of going. A few years since, late in the month of September, in company with several gentlemen, we made a trip to the White Mountains. Having made the cus- tomary examinations in the orthodox way, we arrived late one evening at the Franconia Notch House. Here we learned that the stage would leave for St. i4 THE MORGAN HORSE Johnsbury the following morning on its last trip of the season. This being the route we proposed to take, we engaged our seats, and the following morning about nine o'clock, six good-sized individuals (besides the driver), with our baggage, were stowed away in a snug, rugged-looking stage wagon, to which was attached a pair of horses of medium size. The near horse was of deep chestnut color, about fourteen and a half hands high, very closely and compactly made, with clean, small head, and exceedingly small ears set pretty wide apart, but very lively and active. The other animal was a gray mare of about the same weight, but at least half a hand higher. She had a fine long hip and a good hind leg, her shoulders were well-shaped, better at the withers than the horse, and she was on the whole a very fair animal, although her general muscular development was decidedly inferior to that of her mate. We all objected to starting with so small a team over the hilly country we knew we had to cross ; but these remonstrances availing nothing, my companion and I, who occupied the front seat, fell to discussing the chances of getting on with our ' infant team', as he called it, and from this to discussing the rel- ative merits of our nags. The mare was restive, eager and impatient, and my friend declared with great confidence that all that horse-flesh of her di- mensions could do, she would. My own fancy had been taken by the full, brilliant, but pleasant eyes, that stood out large and full, the ever-restless ears, and the strong muscular loins and quarters of the chestnut. Accordingly I proposed to 'back the horse', much to the amusement of most of the party. Our driver, after several ' false starts ' from the bar-room, finally took up the reins and gave them the word. The mare dashed ahead as if she would pull the driver from his seat. The horse struck out with a short, nervous step, but did not seem much inclined to pull, or move at any but a moderate pace. The mare took us along over the first half-mile almost entirely by the bit, and my companions had a hearty laugh at my chestnut horse. A half hour passed, and with it some five miles of our road. By this time ' bets were not so freely offered on the mare' ; she had fallen off in her pace, perspired freely, moved unsteadily, and every few moments gave her head a toss that plainly told she was beginning to lose her relish for the work. The day was hot. The horse had worked more freely as he grew warm, but not a muscle moved — save those of his ears — which was not indispensably necessary to give him motion. Thus we kept on for about twelve or fourteen miles to the end of the first stage, the mare fully satisfied, and panting With heat and exertion. Here we were to have a fresh team, but one of them being very lame, the driver put in only one, and drove the chestnut through to St. Johnsbury. This seemed pretty hard, but the horse did not appear to mind it in the least, and up the long hill as we entered St. Johnsbury he pressed on at the same short, nervous trot he had kept almost the entire way. As we stepped out at the hotel we all took a good look at him. His general appearance was that of a horse about ten years old, but what was our surprise when, upon speaking of him to my friend Dr. S. , we learned that he was one of Sherman's sons, eighteen years old, and had been running constantly nearly eleven years in a stage team. AS A BUSINESS HORSE 15 " The limbs of the Morgans are large in proportion to the size of the animal, but they are free from meat, remarkably wide, flat, and sinewy, with the back .sinews standing well out from the bone. The joints are very close, the pas- terns short, the feet rather small, but almost invariably excellent. A good many of them have considerable long hair about the legs, and this we do not like, as it detracts from the beauty of the animal, and retains the moisture about the limbs longer after the animal has been exposed to the wet. True, if carefully groomed, they will not be left wet, but it is a melancholy fact that grooms are not always thus careful. Where the limbs are otherwise unexcep- tionable, we do not consider this a very serious objection, especially in horses whose legs are short, the vital energy great, and the circulation consequently good. "The shoulders are large and muscular, the blade sloping well back, the point low and well formed, and the breast broad, giving a deep, wide, roomy chest. The hips are long, deep, and wide, the loins are broad and full, the thighs plump and sinewy, the muscles extended large and hard well down to the hock. The neck is rarely very long, and sometimes hardly as long as we should like to see it, though many excellent judges disagree with us in this respect, claiming that the neck being barely long enough to make the animal pleasant in hand, not another ounce should be added, because it is only an unnecessary weight that must be carried, without contributing anything to- wards the power of motion. "To a certain extent this is undoubtedly true, but we place so high an estimate upon a good and sensitive mouth, that we should prefer to have the neck a trifle too long, rather than have the animal heavy in hand. Still, it must be admitted that heaviness in hand is a very rare fault with this class of horses. " However horsemen may differ as to the perfection or imperfection of the neck, there can be no sort of question as to the head, which can be found as fine and beautiful in no other breed of horses except the thorough- bred or Arabian. Some difference of opinion exists among horsemen as to the size of the head, but we think it is now the generally-received opinion that the head should be small, and all agree that it should be lean below the jowls. The first injunction given to the purchasers of the horses for the French cavalry is to 'see if he has a small head', while Mr. Hinds commends the ' Englishman's long-accepted description of a good horse, and nothing else', thus : 'His head ought to be lean, of good size, and long'. " The Morgan has a small, lean head, broad between the eyes, which are prominent, bold, lively and pleasant, full of spirit and courage, yet mild, giv- ing evidence of a temper at once spirited and tractable. The ears are small and well shaped, set rather wide apart, but are delicate and lively. " The back is short and broad, the hips well coupled, the loins wide, and displaying on each side masses of firm, unyielding muscle, which will satisfy the horseman of his ability to carry weight and endure fatigue. Just behind the withers the back is often a little depressed, and individuals are occasion- 1 6 THE MORGAN HORSE ally met with, in which the depression is sufficient to warrant their being called hollow or sway-backed. This must by no means be considered a characteristic, many families being entirely free from it, and where it is found it is usually very slight. "Where the back is very hollow we think it decidedly objectionable; but for many purposes we think a slight inclination to sway-back may be no disadvantage, especially where the loins are good. Youatt evidently con- siders it a far less serious objection than a tendency to the opposite forma- tion, or 'roach-back'. This inclination to hollow back, where it occurs, is so slight, and is so far from being a characteristic of the family, that it would hardly be deserving of notice were it not for the fact that it has been some- times magnified into a universal, and, of course, hereditary defect. "The origin of this mistaken notion may be easily discovered. These horses have been bred in a portion of the country that, until within the last few years, was little visited by travelers, and they were little known to horse- men abroad, except by reports of persons who had visited the country, and seen the ancestors of the family. All the early stallions of the breed lived to a great age, and it was not until their youth was passed, and a numerous pro- geny had borne testimony to their excellence, that they became objects of interest to visitors from abroad. These horses, no doubt, exhibited at an ad- vanced age an appearance of 'hollow back', and due allowance was not often made for the advanced age of the animal ; for, although well known to most breeders, it is a fact not equally patent to a large proportion of those who have a good eye and taste for a fine horse, that old stallions are almost always defective in this respect. The loins and back of the horse, as of the dog, are the first points to show signs of failing in his old age. Another objection that may in some instances be properly urged against individual members of this breed, has, by interested persons, been magnified into a characteristic trait, and that is that they are too low on the withers. This is so far from being the fact that the opposite is the usual formation in this breed, and the great rise of the withers and crest is certainly one of the striking points of the horse at first glance, but the withers are not always as thin as we should like. High, thin, fine-shaped withers, is one of the rarest excellences in the horse,and no breed or family can justly lay claim to anything like universal excellence in this particular. The reason for this may perhaps be found in the fact, that less attention is paid by breeders to this point, as it is far less important than many others. Though excellence in this point undoubtedly assists to give the horse easy and safe action, yet the race-horse is very often defective in this respect. Eclipse was remarkable for his extremely low shoulders, and many other horses distinguished for their performances on the turf have ex- hibited the same defect. The mane and tail of Morgan horses are sometimes heavy and often curly, but in most cases they are only moderately so. The general color of these horses has been much mistaken by those who are but slightly acquainted with them. It has often been supposed, and is by many be- lieved to this day, that all genuine Morgans are bay, with black legs, manes AS A BUSINESS HORSE 17 and tails. So far is this from being true, that it is extremely doubtful if bay be the prevailing color, chestnut being, we believe, quite as often met with. "Bay, chestnut, brown and black are almost the only colors, the latter being quite uncommon, and with few exceptions, confined to the Black Hawk family. Gray or buckskin is very rarely seen, and is a pretty sure indication that what Morgan blood the animal has, has been derived through only one branch of the parent stock. "The average height of Morgan horses may be stated at from four- teen to fifteen and a half hands. There are a few that will fall below four- teen hands, but the number is very small, and there are also some that will exceed fifteen and a half hands, but it is by no means common, and in such cases it will generally be found that the animal has but a small amount of Morgan blood. Their weight may be stated to range from nine hundred to eleven hundred pounds, the usual weight being about one thousand ; any great deviation from this weight should induce the suspicion of a large infu- sion of other blood, although exceptions may, and doubtless do occur, in the case of animals that can show a good pedigree ; still they must be considered as the exceptions to the rule, and not the rule itself. The hair of the Morgan is almost invariably fine and soft, though in some instances a little long. In the fineness and softness of their coats they resemble the thoroughbred, though it is generally thicker. " In describing the temper, and style of action of these horses, we can say but little more than that they come fully up to our standard in this respect, with this exception, that they may sometimes have more fire and impetuosity than we think is desirable in the 'business horse', but such generally make very superior roadsters under proper management and good driving. "These horses having now been scattered a good deal in the Northern and Western States, fair specimens of the race may generally be seen at any of the State agricultural fairs, and the truth of our remarks can be verified so far as they relate to form, and style of moving. Much may also be determined on seeing them, as to their temper, and lastingness ; but as it requires more than a short examination to determine conclusively an animal's temper, cour- age and endurance, and as there are many who will have no opportunity of seeing specimens of the breed, we will not leave the truth of our remarks to depend upon our own ' dictum', but will introduce some evidence in support of our positions, consisting of extracts from writers whose authority upon this subject cannot be called in question. "The following extract is from a letter written by a gentleman of Phil- adelphia to the 'American Turf Register and Sporting Magazine', in 1831 : * * 'It may not be generally known that the first trotting matches in this country took place in New England ; and twenty years ago every stranger who traveled the road from Boston to Port- land, a distance then of one hundred and twenty miles, must have been sur- prised to see horses, not quite fifteen hands high, drawing heavy carriages with nine passengers, at the rate of eight and ten miles an hour, accomplish- ing the journey with ease in one day. * * * * 1 8 THE MORGAN HORSE "In the March number of the 'Albany Cultivator' for 1848,}. B. Burnett, a ' thoroughbred' man, in an article in favor of thoroughbred horses, and against the Morgans, with equal truth and candor says : 'It cannot be denied that they possess great energy and courage, great strength and endurance, great ambition and docility ; that they mature early and are easily kept ; that they are pleasant drivers and always ready for business, and what is more important — sell at high prices'. " R. L. Allen, Esq., an accomplished gentleman in New York, and a thorough horseman, having no interest then or since in Morgan stock, so far as we can ascertain, thus speaks of "them in his 'American Agriculture.' After pointing out their origin, he says : " ' The result has been the production of a family of roadsters of much similarity of appearance and uniformity of character, unsurpassed by any others for serviceable qualities. They are of medium size, from thirteen and a half to fifteen hands high, with a well-formed head and neck, high withers, deep chest, round body, short back, large quarters, broad, flat legs, moderately small feet, long, wavy mane and tail, presenting altogether the beau ideal of the road horse. " ' They are spirited and docile, hardy and easily kept. They have an easy and rapid trot, and glide along with a good load without clatter or ap- parent effort, at the rate of ten or twelve miles an hour'. " Mr. Weissinger, formerly one of the editors of the 'Louisville (Kentucky) Journal', that has for many years been a leading paper at the South, made a tour through the Northern States in the summer of 1845. While in Vermont, his taste for horses prompted him to examine carefully the Morgans. In a letter to the ' Journal', after some remarks in relation to their origin, he says : " 'There is no doubt whatever of this — that the breed of the Morgan horse was, and is now, in the few instances where it can be found, far the best breed of horses for general use that ever was in the United States — probably the best in the world ; and it is remarkable that this breed was, and is now, known by many striking peculiarities, common to nearly every individual. They have a full, heavy, wavy mane and tail, good head and neck, small, well- shaped ears ; are broad between the eyes ; legs broad and short, with large tendons, bodies rather thick set; but their most striking peculiarity is in their carriage ; legs well under, trot quick, short and springy, the forelegs bending remarkably, the very reverse of the slow, slouchy movement of the race-horse in the trot. They are likewise exceedingly hardy and well tempered'. "In the 'American Farmers'Encyclopedia', edited by Gouverneur Emerson, and published in Philadelphia, in 1844, is the following description of the Morgan horse : " ' Perhaps the very finest breed of horses in the United States, when gen- eral usefulness is taken into consideration, is what is commonly known in the Northern and Eastern States as the Morgan horse. "'This breed is distinguished by its activity, united with strength and hardiness. Its size is moderate, and though not often possessing the fleetness which recommends it to the sportsman, it has speed enough to entitle it to AS A BUSINESS HORSE 19 the appellation of a fast traveler. Their usual height is from fourteen to fif- teen hands, color bay, make round and rather heavy, with lean heads, broad and deep chests, the fore limbs set wide apart, legs clean and sinewy, short, strong backs, with that projection of the ribs from the backbone which is a sure indication of great development of lungs, and consequently of great wind and bottom. For saddle, draught, and other useful purposes, the Mor- gan horses, bred in Vermont and all the Eastern States, including the north- ern and western parts of New York, are so much prized as to command much higher prices in the principal cities of the Atlantic States than horses from other parts of the Union'. "The < Maine Farmer' for 1853 (we think in the April number) , in an ed- itorial, thus speaks of the Morgan horses : ' The stock of Morgan horses is so universally known and admired throughout New England, that it is hardly necessary to repeat their merits. For a seller of horses, it is only necessary to establish the fact that his horses are of the Morgan blood, and he meets with a ready sale at good prices, and the purchasers are more than satisfied. " ' They excel in great endurance, carrying weight a long distance ; and as roadsters they excel all other horses in this or any other country ; are full of noble and generous spirit, with such docility of temper that the most timid can drive them ; but if put to their mettle they are a full hand for the best driver'. " In an elaborate article in the ' New York Herald', in relation to the horses of that city, published early in 1853, in speaking of the large number of horses employed in hauling the cars on the Sixth Avenue railroad, the writer says : ' Four-fifths of all the horses employed on this road are from Vermont and New Hampshire, and of these nearly all are of the celebrated Morgan breed. These horses have long and justly been celebrated for their admirable quali- ties as roadsters. " ' They are particularly remarkable for their great strength in proportion to their size, and for their power of endurance, bearing up under hard labor that would break down the strongest draft horse. " ' The Morgan horse, though a small animal, is noted for his great bottom and hardiness, as well as for compactness and roundness of form. He is a very sprightly animal, and is said to be more sagacious than the generality of horses'. " By reference to the report of the United States Agricultural society's fair, held in Boston, Mass., the fourth week in October, 1855, it appears that three premiums were offered to stallions as ' roadsters ' ; of these, all were awarded to stallions of Morgan descent ; four premiums were offered to stal- lions for general use, four years old and upwards, all of these were awarded to Morgans. To stallions for general use, three years old and under four years, two premiums were offered ; one of these was awarded to a Morgan. To stallions for general use, one year old and under two, three premiums offered ; two awarded to Morgans. To breeding mares and fillies four pre- miums were offered ; two awarded to Morgans. To fillies three years old two premiums offered ; one awarded to a Morgan. Fillies one year old, only 20 THE MORGAN HORSE one premium awarded, and that to a Morgan. To trotting stallions four pre- miums were offered, and three of them awarded to Morgans. " That this was a very large exhibition of horses is certain, for there were four hundred and forty-three horses entered for premiums. The report of every State fair at the North and West shows that, wherever exhibited, the Morgans takes the very highest rank as horses for general use. Now this evidence of his value is the more striking, as at most of these agricultural ex- hibitions he is among strangers, and he comes into competition with horses long known and having many friends around to assist in sustaining them. A horse that can compete successfully for the highest honors under such cir- cumstances, must be so plainly, and so far superior to his rivals, that the mo- ment he is seen the spectator acknowledges, without hesitation, his great superiority. The appearance of ' Champion Black Hawk', and Silas Hale's ' Green Mountain Morgan', on the fair grounds of Kentucky, at different times, strikingly illustrates this. " In the account of the agricultural fair at Florence, Kentucky, in Octo- ber, 1855, published in the 'Cincinnati Gazette' of October 13, 1855, is the following description of the exhibition of stallions for harness : "'The Fair at Florence. Yesterday was the day for the exhibition of horses. In the ring of stallions for harness, of four years old and upwards, the blue ribbon (highest premium) was tied on a dapple grey, but just then Champion Black Hawk, belonging to Messrs. P. & L. Melendy of Hamilton county, Ohio, was brought in and the multitude immediately shouted, ' take it off', 'take it off'. " 'It was accordingly taken off and put upon Black Hawk, and no judg- ment of the committee was more heartily approved by the spectators than this. Champion Black Hawk is of the Morgan stock, and closely resembles old Green Mountain Morgan in size, build, and carriage. He is a small horse, but compactly built, indicates power and endurance, and in horseman phrase is "big for his size" '. "So, also, when Hale's Green Mountain Morgan appeared on the show grounds at Louisville, Kentucky, in 1853, he met with a cordial welcome, and the horse was greeted on his entering the exhibition ring v/ith such eager ap- plause as told, full plainly, that his form and his style of action were new, but were appreciated by the thousands of strangers before whom he was moving. It is hardly necessary to say that he received the highest premium, as he had previously done the same season at the Michigan State fair at Detroit, and the Ohio State fair at Dayton. " It is proper to add, that the horse was taken from Vermont to Dayton, Ohio, by railroad, without any stop for the purpose of rest. The fair at Day- ton being over, he went directly to Detroit, arriving there after the commence- ment of the fair. From Detroit he went directly to Louisville, where he arrived late the night previous to the last day of the fair. "The following letter is from a gentleman long engaged in staging, whose opportunities for observation have been very extensive, and we would AS A BUSINESS HORSE 21 as soon rely upon his judgment in anything relating to the qualities of a good horse, as that of any person we have ever met : JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI, APRIL 14, 1856. D. C. LINSLEY, ESQ. Dear Sir : — It is with much pleasure, I have to acknowledge the re- ceipt of your favor of a recent date, requesting me to give my views of Mor- gan horses, as compared with horses in general use at the West. I have spent the greatest portion of my life in staging, formerly in Ver- mont, and now in Missouri, and I take pleasure in bearing testimony to the decided superiority of Morgan horses for coach service over any others that I have ever used. I have bought many horses in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, and though occasionally a good roadster can be found, they are not common. Many of the horses of these States have fine forms and good carriage, yet lack the high, free spirit, unflinching courage and iron constitutions the Vermont horses so generally possess. Very many of the Western horses are too large. Large horses may be the best for draft, but I have always found horses of medium size, weighing, say, about ten hundred and fifty pounds, much the most serviceable and enduring when used before a coach. I am, Sir, very respectfully yours, MILO JUNE. "The writer of the following letter is well known at the East, and throughout the West, as one of the largest and most successful stage owners in our country, and the noble fortune he has secured, by his own exertions, suf- ficiently attests his practical wisdom, and the soundness and solidity of his judgment. His large experience at the West gives peculiar value to his opin- ion with regard to horses adapted to that country : CHICAGO, APRIL 21,1856. D. C. LINSLEY, ESQ. Dear Sir : — Your favor of the 8th inst. is received, in relation to the Morgan breed of horses, and expressing your desire to make them more generally known in the Western States. This desire I sincerely share with you and cannot doubt your entire success. Being a Vermonter, I have known Morgan horses as long as I have known any. I have resided at Chicago the last seventeen years, during which time I have been largely engaged in the business of staging, which business affords constant employment for about fifteen hundred horses, and have thus had opportunities for observing and testing the capacity and endurance of horses. I have no hesitation in saying, I consider the Morgan horses far superior to any other breed or blood I have ever known for the road or farm. In fac~l, I would prefer them over all others for any kind of service on the American continent. They are invariably good feeders, are easily kept, and will not only perform and endure more service in a year, but more years of service, than any other breed of horses I have ever known. Of the horses heretofore raised in the Western States, and particularly west of the lakes (although much improvement has been made within a few years, and many fine horses may now be found among them) it is un- deniably true, that a Morgan horse, from New England, will outlast two horses raised in the West. It is also true, that but few Morgan horses have, as yet, been brought from New England west of the lakes, and equally true, that their services are very generally sought by intelligent breeders of horses throughout the country. Any number of inferior horses may be found in the West, which are claimed to be Morgan blood. 22 THE MORGAN HORSE This attempt to palm off counterfeits is the highest evidence of the value of the genuine blood. The ready and general objection in the West, with those who are not familiar with the Morgans, is want of size, forgetting that their size should be judged by their weight, and not by the length of their legs, and that the same bodies, upon longer legs, would look much larger. Wishing you success, and hoping that you may be instrumental in causing the whole of our fine State to be filled with horses of pure Morgan blood, I am, Sir, your friend and servant, M. O. WALKER. " We might continue to adduce testimany of a similar character to al- most any extent, but we think the foregoing extracts from the highest sources, from persons uninterested in these horses, and residing in quarters of the country where they have not been bred, amply sufficient to establish the fact, that the Morgans, as a race, are possessed of great powers of endurance, and are admirably adapted for the road and general use." This closes the extracts used by Mr. Linsley in this connection. We have selected the following, carrying the commentary down to later dates. Samuel Jacques writes to John Bellows of Charlestown, Mass., under date of March 24, 1831, as follows : "As respects your Sherman Morgan horse I think he would do well at the Ten Hills Farm. I have no hesitation in saying that I consider the race of horses so generally known in our vicinity by the name of Morgans to be one of the most useful kinds of horses for all purposes, to New England, that there is in this or any other country." In the "Spirit of the Times", vol. 14, R. L. Allen of Buffalo writes : " New England has in former times possessed horses of unmatched qual- ities. Among many so distinguished pre-eminently stood, longo intervallo, the famed Morgan horse of Vermont and his more ancient compeer, the im- ported Barb, Ranger, or, as he was subsequently called, Lindsey's Arabian". And on page 33 of the "Spirit" in 1840 is a letter from Buffalo on the breeding of horses for the purpose of utility, in which the writer says : " The Yankees have not been altogether idle in the matter * * * I cannot speak certainly of any characteristic race as existing there now, although there is no portion of the Union where better roadsters and the everyday farm horse are found in greater proportion. A race existed a few years ago in Vermont called the Morgan Horse ; valuable, enduring, active, and every way fitted for farm or hard road service, of good action and of rea- sonable size and appearance. These horses have been repeatedly tried at the South and West by stage contractors on stages, and it was found that they would go much faster, give a harder pull, and endure twice as long on the road and in service, as the larger horses, without known blood, bred there. A memor- able instance of this kind took place on the road between Baltimore and Washington. About ten years since a new line of stages starting with Ver- mont horses in opposition to the old line with the long-backed, leggy, and cow-headed Pennsylvanians, reduced the time between the two places one- half". The following letter appeared in the same paper in 1847 : Mr. Editor : — I have been much interested in the numerous communi- cations which have appeared from time to time, in the public journals, relat- ing to the original Morgan horse, and giving description of his stock. I was born in the town of Randolph, in this county, in which the Justin Morgan horse was owned, and there lived until I was forty-one years of age, and AS A BUSINESS HORSE 23 consequently have always been acquainted with the old Morgan and his stock. The original Morgan horse was very broad between his eyes, which were full, prominent, and intelligent — had a heavy, finely curled mane and tail — deep, full chest, high shoulders — short back — full over the loin — long smooth hips — deep flanks and well spread, muscular, sinewy, bony legs, and was a great roadster. His stock generally partake largely of his peculiar characteristics. An ordinarily close judge of horses, who has had any acquaintance with this breed, could not easily be deceived by a jockey, or have palmed off on him one of another breed for a Morgan, there being such a general family resemblance. Oftentimes, from a fourth or an eight blood even, we get a colt in those particular traits in every respect a Morgan. C. BLODGETT. Chelsea, Orange Co., Vt., April 15, 1847. From Ohio Agricultural Reports of 1849 — 1858, inclusive, we extract the following : 1849 — From Erie County. — "Improvement in horses noted. Two of best blooded stallions to be found brought in from New York. One a Vermont Morgan by Black Hawk ; dam Lady Messenger : the other by impOi ted Emigrant. The Morgan is preferred". 1850 — Ashland County. — "The Morgans being now introduced". Erie County. — "The Morgan horse preferred on account of his uncommonly hardy constitution and his great power for the road". 1851 — Ashland County. — "John Scott, Sr., has a Morgan stallion much admired". 1852 — Portage County. — "The Morgan horse is being introduced in some parts of the county and gaining a high reputa- tion ". 1853 — Ashland County. — "Several Morgans brought in". Geau- ga County. — "A number of the very popular Morgan breed have been introduced". Huron and Erie Counties. — "Morgans from Vermont probably stand first as roadsters and for all kinds of work". Jefferson Coun- ty.— " There has been a marked improvement in our horses by the introduc- tion of Morgan stallions. The first was introduced here in 1847, and his colts proved very valuable". Knox County. — "The Morgan horses have been in- troduced and our stock is being much improved". Lucas County. — " Public opinion favors the Morgan stock more than any other". Madison County. — "The Morgan horses are highly esteemed by some for their superior action and power, although they are generally thought too light for draft horses". Mahoning County. — "The Morgan class is preferred on account of speed, form and general good qualities". Morrow County. — "The Eclipse, Sir Richard and Morgan stock are the most patronized". Portage County. — " The Morgans are much admired". In 1854 the secretary, in his report, says : " The introduction of the Morgans and Bellfounders will assist greatly to build up our horse stock. But the Morgans will prove of advantage prin- cipally by their distinctness of breeding, thereby enabling us to fix their good qualities upon a larger stock. All history goes to show that this valuable breed owes its better qualities to the large dash of ' blood ' which it received at the outset. The distinctive peculiarities of the breed as well as history proves this". 1854 — Clermont County. — "During the last year a very fine Black Hawk Morgan has stood in the county, though not owned here, and left some very fine colts". Delaware County. — 24 THE MORGAN HORSE "Hon. D. Bush has a very fine three-year-old Morgan stallion, also the Messrs. Wilson a fine Morgan stallion. These horses were bred in New Hampshire, brought here about two years ago. Their stock seems to justify the celebrity of Morgan horses". Geauga County. — "A number of valuable horses have been brought in from Vermont, among them a very fine horse Onderdonk, owned by Brown, Spencer & Co. ; another, Emperor, by S. Gould & Co." In 1855 the secretary, in his report, says : "From about 1820 to 1835, while imported Diomed, Sir Archy, and their progeny, Bertram, Sir Charles and others, together with an endless list of competitors, were prominent be- fore the public, the turf was considered the test of merit. But now a 2 : 40 roadster attached to a light buggy is in demand. To accommodate this rapidly increasing class, the State Board of Agriculture introduced a separate list of premiums for 'driving horses'. In this list we find the handy, quick-step- ping ' Morgans ' to fall into rank with a promptness that would indicate their fitness for the place. The show of roadsters proper at the last fair far ex- ceeded anything before seen in the West. Among the principal exhibitors were the Messrs. P. & L. Melendy, Mt. Healthy, Hamilton Co., showing their fine chestnut, Champion Morgan, the get of old Black Hawk ; the Messrs. Fullington of Union Co., showing their superior Gifford horse ; L. E. Hap- good, Columbus, showing Telegraph, one of old Black Hawk's most stylish and fine-stepping colts ; Messrs. Blake & Williams, Columbus, exhibiting Green Mountain, possessing great power and speedy withal. Messrs. An- derson & Wright, Xenia, and James Wilson, Delaware, exhibited superior Morgan horses. Mr. Wm. H. Rarey of Groveport exhibited his fine Bell- founder, in this class ; John Van Pierce, Lancaster, his superior horse, Prince Hal ; C. H. Cornwall of Salem a very fine bred horse, Hassan, of rare merit for saddle or light harness — and there were many others. In the 'all work' class Mr. Teal- of Crawford Co. exhibited the Gifford Morgan, owned jointly by Judge Musgraves and Mr. Teal. This horse weighed nearly 1300 Ibs. ; and trots his mile inside of four minutes, with as much nimbleness as a pony. His stock must prove of very great value for the farm and road. Messrs. Blake and Williams showed one of their largest Morgans in this class. We did not see the horse, but he is held in high repute by those who have bred to him". In 1856 an article in review of State fair says (p. 158) : "Vermont herself could scarcely produce more fine Black Hawks and Morgan horses than were exhibited at our State Fair. * * * Champion, the grace of all the Black Hawks — is the best representative of the sire we have ever seen. There is an indescribable something in the whole family which always assures one of the certainty that it is a distinct race of horses, and of as much individuality as a Shorthorn or Devon. Nothing could be more palpable than this at the exhibition of the colts for the sweepstakes premium. Of the fifteen that were upon the ground, the Black Hawk stamp was upon all. Champion's colts took the premium, and David Hill's the ist and 2d as three years, and the 2d as two years old. Onderdonk took the 2d as a roadster, and the Eastman Green Mountain Morgan the ist. Green Mountain is a good horse, very strong and muscular, fit alike for the plow AS A BUSINESS HORSE 25 and carriage ; and had very few superiors as a trotter. The Columbus stallion and Tom Hyer were the fastest on the ground, and Morrill and Bul- let swift and powerful". From County Reports of 1858 we extract : Clark County. — "The show of horses was the best we have ever had. Some very superior Morgan colts were exhibited and attracted much attention ". Cler- mont County. — "The show of horses was very good, the sucking colts and yearlings eliciting special admiration. Many good mares have been sent from our county to Champion Black Hawk, Keene Morgan, Regulator and other well-known Morgan horses in Hamilton county, and the impress of this valuable stock is beginning to be developed among us". Crawford County. — "The show of horses was really good with about 200 entries. The justly celebrated Morgan Flying Cloud stock was well represented". Medina County. — "The breed of horses have been improved very much during the last few years. The Morgan blood prevails". Stark County. — "The colts exhibited were far superior to those of other years ; a very large number had Morgan blood". These Reports state further that at the State fair of 1852, premiums were awarded in the class of blooded horses as follows : ist to Napoleon Morgan, owned by John R. Cecil, Massilon ; 2d to Campden, owned by John Scott, Hagerville, O. : in the class of foreign horses, ist to a Black Hawk stallion of E. Adams, Vergennes, Vt. ; 2d to Black Lion, owned by Chester Pratt, Bridport, Vt. At the State Fair of 1854, ist premium was awarded to Orr's Flying Cloud and 2d premium to a Morgan stallion the property of L. E. Hapgood ; in the class of foreign horses, ist to Ken- tucky Black Hawk and 2d to Eastman Morgan. In the "Iowa Agricultural Report", 1866, are the following reports on horses from the different counties : Jackson County. — "Black Bird, Morgan and French stock are most needed". Hamson County. — "The Morgan and Black Hawk stock are the choice of the farmers". Cedar County. — "Bashaw, Jr., is owned here. For farming, draft and general purposes the Morgan or Norman French is preferred". Jasper County. — "Thos. Arthur has a Morgan stallion as thoroughbred as any of that strain ; A. K. Emerson has a high grade Mor- gan stallion. The stock in highest estimation for all purposes is the Mor- gan". Marion County. — " With many farmers the Morgan and Hiatoga blood for stallions are preferred". Polk County. — "Black Prince (Morgan), raised in Vermont and bought and brought to this county by George Crawford, is a jet black, weighing 1200, a sure foal-getter and the best stallion for all pur- poses we have. Panic, sired by Ethan Allen, and raised by C. W. Ensign, and owned by Dr. T. K. Brooks, is a perfect beauty, coal black, two white feet, weight, 900. Adams County. — " The Morgan stock is in the highest esti- mation". Fremont County. — "There are two blooded stallions in this county, one a Sherman Morgan owned by Daniel Pickens of Sidney, and one an En- glish hunter from imported stock. Farmers prefer Morgan stock to any now- here ". Pocahontas County. — "The Morgan blood is the choice of the farmers". Hamilton County. — "The Morgan blood of horses is held in highest estimation ". Jefferson County. — " Farmers regard the Morgan as the best stock of horses — the most profitable to raise and to work. * * * * 26 THE MORGAN HORSE We may state that the Morgan is the best stock for all work, most durable and the best travelers, as they do their work with more care, and on less food than any other kind". Each of the above reports is signed by the person who made it, and each is from a different person. They are the results of circulars sent into nearly every county (as they state) by a committee of three ap- pointed by the State Agricultural society to get information on horses. In their report the committee say that they " sent printed circulars into nearly every county, but received only 13 answers". The quotations given are from 1 1 of those, and are a remarkable testimony to the value and popularity of the Morgan stock. This testimony could be indefinitely multiplied from other " State Reports ", but enough, we think, is here given to show the very general appreciation of this family in localities far distant from its origin. James D. Ladd, in an article in "Wallace's Monthly", July, 1882, says : " During twenty years of life in eastern Ohio I bought several hundred thousand pounds of wool annually. From five to seven months each year I was almost constantly on a horse's back or riding behind a pair in a buggy. I know what a good saddle horse is ; I also know what a good light harness or roadster horse is. In all my experience I have only found a few that were really first-classs of either — hence I know the importance of the subject, and trie interest that attaches to it. "Justin Morgan was the most prepotent sire that has lived in these United States. The Morgan family, as a whole, to this time have been the best light harness horses, and of all the branches of the family, Black Hawk and his descendants are the best". In the next number, in an article entitled " The Prepotency of the Mor- gans", Mr. Ladd says : "When I was a young man, on a visit to Saratoga Springs, I sat one even- ing on the front verandah of Congress Hall. The time was the week preced- ing the New York State Agricultural fair, which was to be there that year. Silas Hale rode Green Mountain Morgan through the street of the then vil- lage of Saratoga. The moment I saw him I was upon my feet, and with a great crowd was hurrying to get a closer view of that horse and to find out what family he was of, and where he came from. If Jumbo was to-day driven through that now much more populous street, I question if he would attract more attention than the Green Mountain Morgan then did. And why? Not because of his reputation for speed ; he had not trotted very fast, or run very fast, or done anything to greatly distingusih him from hundreds of other horses that were daily seen on that street. It was nothing more or less than his consummate get-up ; it was his style, his manner of action. " Next morning I went to see him in his stable. In the same barn I found Fred. Wier, with old Gifford Morgan, then said to be 32 years old, shrunken with extreme age, but lively and active. His counterpart, Gen. Gifford, stood in the same box, and the old horse would followhim into the show ring without bit or strap of any kind, and at Wier's command he would walk or trot, promptly and cheerfully as a colt. Near by was David Hill, with Black Hawk and his daughter, the Belle of Saratoga, and old Lady Suffolk. " I had been with horses from childhood. I was familiar with the best horses of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio ; but in these, the two Giffords, Black Hawk and Green Mountain Morgan, I saw what impressed me as the most horse to the inches I had ever seen, and from that day to this I have known a Morgan horse wherever I have met them. I cannot say so of any other family of horses ; not only so, but wherever I have used him I AS A BUSINESS NORSE 27 have found the same form, the same constitution, the same disposition, the same general character. I see horses every day with perhaps a thirty-second part of the blood of Justin Morgan, but there it is, still predominating ; there is the Morgan still so plainly seen that he who runs may read. Every close ob- server, every discerning judge of horses I meet, be he an admirer or a des- piser of the Morgan, always admits this wonderful tendency of his blood". John H. Wallace, whose superior abilities eminently qualified him for judging, has said in his Monthly : " In the relations, duties and pleasures of the road and family horse, the Morgan has never had his equal in this country, no difference what the blood". In a recent letter to us S. W. Parlin, the accomplished editor of the "American Horse Breeder", a candid and highly qualified judge, writes : "I have always admired the Morgans. I believe that no family of horses has ever been produced, which possessed in a high degree so many of the valua- ble qualities which go to make up an ideal gentleman's roadster, a family or all-purpose animal, as the family of horses founded by Justin Morgan". President Benjamin Harrison attended the meeting of the Vermont as- sociation of Road and Trotting Horse Breeders at White River Junction in 1891, and, in the course of his remarks on that occasion, said : " I understand that it was so arranged that after I had seen the flower of manhood and womanhood of Vermont, I should be given an exhibition of the next grade in intelligence and worth in the State — your good horses. I had recently, through the intervention of my secretary of war, the privilege of coming into possession of a pair of Vermont horses. They are all I could wish for, and, as I said the othei day at the little village from which they came, they are of good Morgan stock, of which some one has said that their great characteris- tic is that they enter into consultation with the driver whenever there is any difficulty". Such testimonials might be continued indefinitely, but we will close here with one clipped from a current issue (Christmas, 1892) of "The American Horse Breeder" : Editor American Horse Breeder : I am an old man, eighty-three years this month, and seeing the article in your last issue in praise of the Morgan horse, I want to add a word out of gratitude for their noble service done me as stage proprietor on the fourth New Hampshire turnpike, as liveryman and farmer. I saw old Bulrush as he passed through Hanover to Walpole, N. H., where he died. Have seen the Green Mountain and the Sherman horse on the parade ground, and have never seen such horses since. For endurance, intelligence and as trappy drivers the Morgans have no equal. To handle six or eight horses on a stage coach over our hills without ac- cident looks to me now as wonderful, for brakes were not known in those days. I sometimes think it could not have been done without the Morgan horses, for their superior intelligence was often shown in cases of danger, like running on icy, sideling road, where every tug was needed, and the horses on the run to prevent the coach from sliding off a bank — I have often done this, and seen others do it, and the accidents were few. These horses seemed to know what was wanted, and understood the - danger as well as the drivers. It was sometimes no easy matter to carry the mails through blinding sleet and heavy drifts, but I never had a Morgan horse 28 THE MORGAN HORSE look back at me. They always faced the blast. If a double trip was to be made, the Morgans were the ones to do it, and the long-jointed, interfering, over-reaching span of some other breed were kept in the barn- I am about the last of the old stage drivers, but I love to think of those days and the horses we had. I have now a span of good Morgan mares on my farm, besides a Morgan stock horse, and they will draw more in a day, plow or harrow more ground, and keep fat on less feed than any team I know of, and I will keep them as long as I live. Yours, J. G. CREMER". Hanover, N. H. THE BLOOD HORSE Gamarra is a dainty steed, Strong, black, and of a noble breed, Full of fire, and full of bone, With all his line of fathers known : Fine his nose, his nostrils thin, But blown abroad by the pride within ! His mane is like a river flowing, And his eyes like embers glowing In the darkness of the night, And his pace as swift as light. Look, — how round his straining throat Grace and shifting beauty float ; Sinewy strength is in his reins, The red blood gallops through his veins. — Richer, redder, never ran Through the boasting heart of man. He can trace his lineage higher Than the Bourbon dare aspire, — Douglas, Guzman, or the Guelph, Or O'Brien's blood itself ! He, who hath no peer, was born Here, upon a red March morn ; But his famous fathers dead Were Arabs all, and Arab- bred, And the last of that great line Trod like one of a race divine ! And yet, — he was but friend to one, Who fed him at the set of sun By some lone fountain fringed with green With him, a roving Bedouin, He lived (none else would he obey Through all the hot Arabian day), And died untamed upon the sands Where Balkh amidst the desert stands ! — BARRY CORNWALL. Randolph Centre, Vermont. From the southwest 30 II JUSTIN MORGAN This distinguished animal was bred by Justin Morgan, whose name he bore and made famous. He was foaled in 1789. His dam was owned by Mr. Morgan when the colt was begotten, but it does not appear whether he continued to own her or not when the colt was foaled. Mr. Justin Morgan was born in 1747 in West Springfield, Massachusetts, a town on the west side of the Connecticut River, op- posite Springfield, and was living there keeping a small boatman's tavern up to the year 1788, in which he bred the colt. Between June 2Oth and September 3d of that year he moved with his family to Randolph, Orange county, Vermont, and took up his residence near the Brookfield line north of the village of Randolph Center. These dates are fixed by the records, those of West Springfield showing that Justin Morgan sold to Abner Morgan on the I2th day of March, 1788, for thirty-three pounds, seven shillings and six pence, a lot of land in West Springfield, estimated to contain about two-thirds of an acre, and upon which there was a house and barn ; and those of Ran- dolph showing that Justin. Morgan was not listed there in 1788, as he would have been under the existing law if he had been there before the 2Oth of June ; and also that Mr. Morgan's daughter, Nancy, was born there on the 3d day of September of the same year. Mr. Mor- gan did not take the dam of the colt with him to Randolph, and it is quite probable that he sold her before making the journey, but this is not ascertained. ' Nor is it proven in whose possession she was when the colt was foaled, nor who kept the colt until delivered to Mr. Morgan. The colt was taken to Randolph, Vermont, by Jus- tin Morgan, who called him Figure and always advertised him by that name. The horse, Justin Morgan, was got by True Briton, otherwise ^called Beautiful Bay, owned by Selah Norton of Hartford, Con- necticut, and said to have been captured from Col. James De Lancey, 3 2 THE MORGAN HORSE an officer of the British army in the war of the Revolution, at King's Bridge, near New York city, and ridden within the American lines at White Plains. The narrative given, in 1842, in the "Albany Cultivator", as fur- nished by John Morgan, states that the horse was captured by one Smith, who sold him to Joseph Ward, a merchant of Hartford, for three hundred dollars, that Ward kept the horse three or four years for a saddle and carriage horse and traded him to Selah Norton, who kept him for mares, while the hqrse lived. This narrative was pub- lished long before any of the advertisements of the horse were dis- covered, and was borne out in a remarkable manner by the adver- tisements when they came to light. The earliest known advertisement offers the services of Beauti- ful Bay at Landlord Miles Powell Jr.'s stable in Lanesboro, Berkshire county, Massachusetts, in 1784, naming no owner. Terms, twenty shillings the season. The next season (1785) he is advertised to stand at Justin Morgan's stable in West Springfield, at the same price. The next is the advertisement of John Morgan Jr., who advertises "True Briton or Beautiful Bay" at his stables in Springfield, the sea- son of 1788, at eighteen shillings the season; and the next season (1789) John Morgan Jr., advertises him again at the same place, at two dollars the season. The next is in 1791, when Selah Norton advertises him at his stables in East Hartford, Connecticut, at fifteen shillings the season, but soon inserts a notice that he will not do service there. And again he is advertised to stand at the stable of Landlord White, in South Hadley, Massachusetts, in 1793, at eight shillings the season. In 1794 and 1795 Selah Norton advertised, at his stable in Ash- field, Massachusetts, the full-blooded beautiful bay horse Traveler, fifteen hands, saying : "He was sired by the famous old Traveler, im- ported from Ireland. His dam was Col. De Lancey's imported racer". Terms, fifteen to twenty-four shilling. (For advertisement, see appendix). This is unquestionably True Briton under the name of his sire. True Briton's pedigree is given by Selah Norton in the adver- tisement of 1791 thus: "His sire was the imported horse Traveler, owned in New Jersey. His dam, De Lancey's imported racer". John Morgan, in the "Albany Cultivator" in 1842, says: "It was also said at that time that he was sired by the noted imported horse called Traveler, said to be kept in New Jersey". The following account of the capture of De Lancey's horse, is from the "Connecticut Gazette" of October 31, 1780: JUSTIN MORGAN 33 "FISHKILL, Oct. 19. Last week Lieut. Weight Carpenter and two others, went down to Col. James De Lancey's quarters, and lay in wait for his appearance, — he, accordingly came, and having tied his horse at the door, went in the house; upon which Carpenter seized the horse and mounted ; when De Lancey discovered him, immediately alarmed his men who pursued to White Plains, but in vain. This horse is one of the finest in America, he cost De Lancey 2Oo£ — Carpenter was offered 150^ as soon as he brought him in — The cowboys had plundered Carpenter of all his cattle, some time before ; when Mr. Carpenter went down with a flag, and com- plained of the cruelty of taking his cattle, and told De Lancey that he would have his horse by way of retaliation ; upon which De Lancey sneeringly replied, 'You may if you can catch him'". Col. James De Lancey's quarters were near Kings Bridge, so that the above contemporaneous account differs from that of John Morgan only in the name of the man that captured the horse, and as it states that several were concerned in this capture, very probably one of them was named Smith. In this contemporaneous account of his capture there is no name given to the horse, and it is not known by what name De Lancey called him. He may have called him True Briton, but it is possible that both names by which he is known were given him after his capture. That the horse was one of the finest on the continent, as stated by the Fishkill correspondent, goes without question. He was raised by a man that for many years had had the finest on the continent and dealt in no other. Col. De Lancey had long been the leading connoisseur of thoroughbred stock in America, and we may be very sure that a horse that so discriminating a breeder kept entire, was not only thoroughbred, but bred in the most approved lines. And we may be equally sure that the horse that De Lancey kept for his own use was an animal of the highest individual excel- lence. The statements of the Fishkill reporter of what Mr. De Lancey gave for the horse, or what Carpenter was offered for him, are in the natural line of embellishment to such a story, and without much sig- nificance. The information about the horse obtained by Norton was, doubtless, got with far more care, and, therefore, far more accurate, than any that came to the reporter. The two state- ments, however, do not necessarily collide. For though the sugges- tion of Mr. Norton's advertisement is that De Lancey bred the horse, 34 THE MORGAN HORSE he does not say say so. It is possible that De Lancey purchased True Briton with his dam. The statement of Norton that his horse was got by Traveler has generally been accepted as correct. It would be difficult to account for it unless it was so. For, if the pedigree had been guessed at or fab- ricated, owned, as True Briton was, by De Lancey, and supposed to have been bred by him, it would certainly have been said that he was by one of De Lancey's celebrated stallions, Wildair or Lath. The difficulty has been to identify "Traveler. The following adver- tisement, which we found in "Rivingston's New York Gazateer, or the Connecticut, Hudson River, New Jersey and Quebec Advertiser", of March 16, 1/75, practically determines this point in showing to what Traveler De Lancey bred. -TO BE SOLD.

This mare is the dam of Bashaw, Pilgrim and several other fine horses and mares ; she is allowed to be one of the most valuable brood mares in America ; she was covered by Lath and supposed to be in foal. "FAIR RACHAEL, "A fine English mare got by old Babraham, son of the Godolphin Arabian out of a daughter of the famous Bolton Starling. This mare is the dam of Matchem and Sultana. She breeds most beauti- ful stock, was covered by Lath and supposed to be in foal. "The above mares are very lucky in producing foals. "A yearling filly from Fair Rachael, got by Lath; a yearling filly from Betty Leeds, got by Traveler. A three-year-old filly, got by Wildair, with a chance colt foal at her foot. Two bay geldings and a bay mare that have been accustomed for many months to draw a post chaise and curricle, being a good match for each other. The mare was got by Wildair. "Several common horses and four ^Esopus brood mares, that have bred excellent carriage horses". From the above it will appear that De Lancey's imported racer, Betty Leeds, had been bred once, at least, to Traveler ; and it appears 36 THE MORGAN HORSE further that this Traveler was Lloyd's Traveler, one of the best bred and most renowned sons of the very famous horse, Morton's imported Traveler. And we may be morally certain that it was Col. Lloyd's Traveler, also, that was the sire of De Lancey's famous saddle horse. True, Lloyd's Traveler was not imported, from abroad as Mr. Norton says the sire of True Briton was, and it is doubtful if he was ever owned in New Jersey. But it would be strange if Mr. Norton's in- formation on these subjects should all prove perfectly and entirely accurate. Probably no mistake in'pedigrees is so common as confusing son and sire. Llyod's Traveler, though not imported, was by a sire and from a dam both imported ; and Lloyd's Traveler may have been kept in New Jersey, as John Morgan says the reputed sire of True Briton was "said to have been". It is not, perhaps, quite so certain which one of De Lancey's very famous, imported mares was the dam of True Briton ; and still if we accept the words of the advertisement, "De Lancey's imported racer", in their fullest extent, that is, as designating a mare that ran in races, Betty Leedes, the mare that is known to have been bred once to Traveler, would appear to be the mare meant. For it is in evidence that she ran in races, but, not so far as we know, that any other of De Lancey's imported mares did. Fair Rachael, Mr. De Lancey says in these advertisements, was sixteen years old in 1775, therefore was foaled in 1759, and, we must conclude, was not, as American authorities state, the mare of same name foaled in England, 1753, and that ran there with marked suc- cess. De Lancey makes no claim that this mare ran, and it no- where appears that she did ; he seems to have used her solely for breeding. The same is true of the Cub Mare and the other imported mares owned by De Lancey. But mention is made of Captain James De Lancey's mare Betty Leeds being defeated in 1767 by old England. When or where De Lancey purchased this mare it does not, as yet, appear. He may have imported her, or he may have purchased her of Mr. Lloyd, or some other party, and she may have been in foal, when he bought her, by Lloyd's Traveler, or had a colt by her side by this horse. He may have purchased her with one or two colts by Traveler, and then bred her back to Traveler, in 1773, because of the great excellence of one or both of these colts. All of this is fairly probable, but what we know is that she appeared as his mare, in 1767* in a race with old England ; and was advertised by him for sale with a yearling filly of hers by Traveler, in 1775. We are thus enabled to give, with confidence as to the sire and reasonable probability as to the dam (admitting the possibility JUSTIN MORGAN 37 that the dam may have been one of De Lancey's other imported mares), the pedigree of True Briton or Beautiful Bay, as follows : He was got by Lloyd's Traveler, a thoroughbred, son, of Mor- ton's imported Traveler and imported Jenny Cameron : dam Betty Leeds, by Babraham ; 2d dam by Bolton Starling; 30 dam by the Godolphin Arabian. He was foaled about 1768, and, probably, bred by Col. James De Lancey. In the " Hartford Courant", in 1780, is advertised the stallion Young Juniper, seven years old, by imported Juniper. The descrip- tion of his dam in words and punctuation is this: " His dam was the Nancy, whose sire was the Traveler, formerly owned by De Lancey of New York ". This advertisement is not signed and we do not know its origin. If the words, " formerly owned by De Lancey of New York", qualify the word ''Traveler" (which is, perhaps, the most natural construc- tion, although the punctuation would suggest otherwise), then it is an assertion by some one that one of the De Lanceys of New York at some time owned a horse called Traveler. But the words quoted are as likely to refer to the mare, Nancy ; for we know from a large experience that advertisements of this kind are more apt to be loosely than accurately expressed. If this latter is the correct construction, then the statement is that the mare, Nancy, was owned by one of the De Lanceys, and that her sire was the Traveler. With the knowledge that we now have of the De Lancey stock, we can be very certain that, if this advertisement refers to Col. James De Lancey, this latter meaning is the true one ; and the suggestion is that he may have bred to Lloyd's Traveler three times, or, at least, chat he owned three animals got by that horse. The statement that True Briton was got " by the imported horse Traveler, owned in New Jersey ", and the statement that " it was said at that time, that he was sired by the imported horse called the Traveler, said to be kept in New Jersey", not only fail to support the idea that the sire was owned by Col. De Lancey, but they construct- ively contradict it. For if the sire of True Briton had been owned by the very De Lancey who was reputed to have bred him, and from whom he was captured, the tradition would have been apt to go with him, as well as the part relating to his dam, and his late owners would have been apt to learn of it. Lloyd's Traveler was bred by John Tayloe of Virginia, was got by Morton's imported Traveler, and foaled about 1758 : his dam, Jenny Cameron, bay (imported by John Tayloe about 1750), got by Quiet Cuddy, son of Fox; 2d dam Miss Belvoir, bred by the Duke of Rut- 38 THE MORGAN HORSE land, got by Gray Grantham, son of the Brownlow Turk; 3d dam by the Paget Turk (see page 17, English General Stud Book, Vol- ume I.) ; 4th dam Betty Percival, bred by Mr. Pelham, got by Leedes' Arabian; 5th dam, foaled about 1690, bred by Lord D'Arcy, got by Spanker, son of the D'Arcy Yellow Turk ; 6th dam, the old Morocco Mare. Miss Belvoir appears on page 129, General Stud Book. Her colts there are very incompletely given and do not include Jenny Cameron, but there can be no question about this pedigree, which is certified -to by John Tayloe, who purchased Jenny Cameron in England. Lloyd's Traveler, when a colt, was presented by Mr. Tayloe to his son-in-law, Mr. Lloyd of Maryland, who owned him a number of years, and so far as we know until the horse's death. Morton's Traveler was one of the best of the early importations. Skinner in his Turf Magazine writes : Not until the get of im- ported Traveler and Fearnaught ran, were Virginia horses able to compete with those of Maryland in races of four mile heats. Traveler was bred at Raby in Yorkshire, England, by Mr. Crofts, got by Crofts' Partner, son of Jigg, by the Byerly Turk, and foaled in 1747: his dam was Bay Bloody Buttocks, foaled 1729, bred by Mr. Crofts, got by Bloody Buttocks, Arabian ; 2d dam foaled 1722, bred by Mr. Crofts, got by Grayhound, Arabian; 3d dam Brown Fare- well, foaled 1710, bred by Mr. Crofts, got by Makeless, son of the Oglethorpe Arabian; 4th dam thought to have been bred at Hamp- ton Court, got by Brimmer, son of the Yellow Turk; 5th dam said to be by Place's White Turk; 6th dam by Dodsworth, Arabian; and 7th dam the Layton Barb mare. Partner was chestnut; foaled 1718; bred by Mr. Pelham and got by Jigg, son of the Byerly Turk : dam by Curwen's Bay Barb ; 2d dam by Curwen's old Spot; 3d dam by the Chestnut White-Legged Lowther Barb. Jigg was owned by Sir R. Mostyn. He was a common country stallion in Lincolnshire, till Partner, a capital horse, was six years old. The Byerly Turk was Captain Byerly's charger in Ireland, in King William's wars (1689, etc.). Bloody Buttocks was a gray Arabian, with a red mark on his hip, whence his name. He was owned by Mr. Crofts. Grayhound was bred in Barbary, where his dam, (in foal with him), and sire, Chillaby, were purchased and brought to England, by Mr. Marshall. The breeder of Makeless is unknown. He was by the Ogle- thorpe Arabian; dam unknown. JUSTIN MORGAN 39 Brimmer was bred by the D'Arcy family ; got by D'Arcy Yel- low Turk : dam, a Barb. Place's White Turk was the property of Mr. Place, stud-master to Oliver Cromwell. Dodsworth was bred in Barbary about 1674, and, with his dam, a natural Barb, afterward called a Royal mare, imported into Eng- land. Very little is known of Morton's Traveler. He was imported into Virginia by James Morton. Edgar states that he stood at Richmond Court House in 1754*. His blood enters very largely into the American thoroughbred horse, especially through his sons, Lloyd's Traveler from imported Jenny Cameron ; Yorick and Tryall from imported Betty Blazella, a daughter of Jenny Cameron ; and Partner and Ariel from Tasker's imported Selima. The last of his get that we have record of were foaled in 1769, and he probably died about that time. No description of him has been handed down, but of his get, that appear in Edgar, two are bay, two brown, three gray, three chestnut, one sorrel and two black. Of these, one is fourteen and three-quarters hands, one fifteen hands, two fifteen and a quarter hands, two fifteen and a half hands, two fifteen and three-quar- ters hands, and three sixteen hands. The following advertisements of Lloyd's Traveler are from the Maryland Gazette : In 1779. "TRAVELER, of elegant form, full sixteen hands high and remark- ably stout; the property of Hon. Edward Lloyd"; to stand near Annapolis. Terms fifteen to forty pounds. "He is allowed by all to be the first stud horse on the continent. SAM COCKAGNE". In 1783. "TRAVELER, the property of Col. Edward Lloyd, stands this sea- son at my seat on the Potomac and will cover at three guineas. The high pedigrees and properties of this horse are so well known that they need no particular description. HENRY ROGER". Lloyd's Traveler ran in some races, but we do not understand that he was eminent as a runner. Yorick, by same sire and from Betty Blazella, a daughter of Jenny Cameron, was very much so, * The first stud book of American thoroughbreds, the American Turf Register, was by Edgar, published in 1833. The next was Wallace's American Stud Book, published in 1867. The first o the six volumes of Bruce's American Stud Book, now the established register of the American thoroughbred, was published in 1873. Mr. Edgar did a valuable work, but, perhaps from necessity, accepted much unverified mat- ter, thereby admitting many errors, which have been largely copied by later compilers. A care- ful review of the evidence on the early thoroughbred importations and their more immediate de- scendants, we think, might correct many of these errors, and furnish a good deal of additional information. 40 THE MORGAN HORSE winning his first seven races, though beaten in November, 1766, at Annapolis, Md., by Selim, in a race of four mile heats, "witnessed by an immense crowd from every part of the country". Jenny Cameron was one of the celebrated mares imported before the Revolution. In volume VI. of " Skinner's American Turf Register" there is a copy of the pedigree of Nonpariel, by Nonpa- riel, son of Morton's Traveler, given by John Tayloe of Mt. Airy, Va., in 1/73, in which he states that Jenny Cameron, in foal with Betty Blazella, by Blaze, was imported by him. In the "Maryland Gazette" of December 21, 175 2, we have an ac- count of a race at Gloucester, Va., in which Col. Tayloe's Jenny Cameron was one of the contestants. In another race, the same fall, she was beaten by Col. Tasker's Selima, as was also Col. Tay- loe's bay horse, Childers, at same race. Bruce gives her produce as follows : JENNY CAMERON, Produce: Filly. Betty Blazella, by Blaze. Got in England. Colt. Traveler (Lloyd's), by Morton's imported Traveler. Colt. Silverlegs, " " " " Filly. " " Colt. Smiling Tom, by imported Tom Jones. Colt. Little David, by imported Childers. Filly. Jenny Cameron (Young), by imported Valiant. Chestnut filly. Pompadour, " " " Filly. by Yorick. Filly. by Apollo. Quiet Cuddy was chestnut, foaled 1727; bred by Capt. Apple- yard, England ; got by Fox : dam bred by Mr. Bethell, foaled about 1720, got by Castaway, son of Merlin; 2d dam gray, owned by Mr. Applewood, got by Brimmer, son of the D'Ar- cy Yellow Turk ; 3d dam a Royal mare. Fox, bay, was bred by Sir R. Aston, foaled 1714; got by Clum- sey, son of Hautboy: dam Bay Peg, foaled 169-, bred by Mr. Leedes, got by his Arabian; 2d dam Young Bald Peg, bred by Sir R. Millbanke, got by Leedes' Arabian; 3d dam old Morocco Mare (old Peg), bred at Helmsley by Lord Fairfax, got by his Morocco Barb ; 4th dam old Bald Peg, said to be by an Arabian ; and 5th dam a Barb. Fox died at Ham Court, Weybridge, England, in 1738. Castaway was bay, foaled 1704; bred by Mr. Bethell; got by Merlin, son of Bustler, by the Helmsley Turk: dam bred by Mr. Bethell, got by a son of Brimmer, by the D'Arcy Yellow Turk ; 2d dam the Dick Burton Mare, sometimes described as a Barb, but whose breeding is unknown. JUSTIN MORGAN 41 Clumseywas gray; bred by Mr. Wilkes; got by Hautboy, son of D'Arcy White Turk: dam Miss D'Arcy's Pet Mare. Hautboy was bred by the D'Arcy family ; got by the D'Arcy White Turk : dam a Royal mare. The dams of Merlin, Bustler and Gray Grantham are unknown. The pedigree of Betty Leeds is given by Mr. De Lancey as fol- lows: " Bay, fifteen hands ; foaled 1759; got by Babraham, son of the Godolphin Arabian : dam by Starling; 2d dam by Godolphin Arabian, full sister to Mr. Vernon's Amelia, and the grandam of Tortolfe". There is an Amelia, foaled 1748, got by the Godolphin Arabian: dam bred by Mr. Bright, got byChilders; 2d dam said to be by Young True Blue; 3d dam bred by the Duke of Rutland, got by Cyprus Arabian; 4th dam Bonny Black, foaled 1715, and called the best runner of her time, got by Black Hearty, son of the Byerly Turk ; 5th dam said to be by Lord Howe's Persian stallion. Young True Blue was by Honeywood's Arabian : dam by Byerly Turk ; 2d dam said to be by Selaby Turk; 3d dam by Hautboy; 4th dam by a son of Helmsley Turk; 5th dam by Dodsworth ; and 6th dam the Burton Barb Mare. This Amelia was bred by Mr. Crofts; whether ever owned by Mr. Vernon we do not know, but probably is the mare referred to by Mr. De Lancey. Tortolfe we do not find in the " General Stud Book". The Childers Mare, dam of Amelia, had a full sister to Amelia, also bred by Mr. Crofts. This last mare, probably was dam of the Starling Mare that produced Betty Leeds, i G. S. B. 60. Starling or Bolton's Starling was gray; foaled 1727 ; bred by the Duke of Bolton and got by Bay Bolton, son of Gray Hautboy, by Hautboy : dam bred by Duke of Bolton, got by a son of the Brown- low Turk; 2d dam old Lady, bred by the Duke of Bolton, got by Pulleine's Arabian; 3d dam said to be by Rockwood, Arabian; and 4th dam by the Helmsley Turk. Bolton's Starling died 1756. Rockwood's dam was the Lonsdale Tragonwell Barb. Childers, also called the Devonshire and Flying Childers, has been generally regarded as the fastest horse ever trained. He gave Fox twelve pounds over the course and beat him a quarter of a mile in a trial He was bay with blaze and four white feet. He was bred by Mr. Childers, foaled 1715, and got by the Darley Arabian: dam Betty Leedes, bred by Sir W. Strickland, got by Careless, son of Spanker; 2d dam sister to Leedes, sometimes called Cream Cheeks, bred by Mr. Leedes, got by his Arabian; 3d dam said to be by Spanker, son of the D'Arcy Yellow Turk; and 4th dam the old Morocco Mare. Careless was by Spanker : dam a Barb. He was owned by Mr. Leedes, and, in 1698, when he ran, by Lord Wharton. 42 THE MORGAN HORSE Spanker was bay; bred by the Duke of Buckingham; got by the D'Arcy Yellow Turk: dam old Morocco Mare (old Peg), bred by Lord Fairfax, got by his Morocco Barb ; 2d dam old Bald Peg, said to be by an Arabian; and 3d dam a Barb. Spanker was called the best horse at Newmarket in the reign of Charles II. He was sold to Mr. Pelham of Brocklesby. In closing this chapter, a brief account of the origin of the English blood horse and his introduction into America will, perhaps, not be out of place. The different migrations of the human family through which Europe and then America have been settled are not more wonderful than the migration of the Arab horse, it being remem- bered that both the Turk and the Barb are supposed to have had their origin in the Arab. The Markham Arabian, purchased by James I., whose reign was from 1603 to 1625, of a merchant named Markham, is said to have been the first Arabian brought to England. The Duke of Newcastle in his treatise on Horsemanship says that he saw this Arabian and describes him as a small bay horse, not of very good shape ; that he was bought to run, but ran so badly that he brought Arabians into disrepute. From this statement it will be seen that racing was in vogue in England before the introduction of the Arab. Indeed, the record of it extends as far back as the reign of Athelstan in the ninth century, when several race horses were sent as a present by Hugh Caput to Athelstan, when the latter was in treaty for the hand of Hugh Caput's sister in marriage. The English " General Stud Book" states that Guise (known as the Duke of Rutland's Barb), and Lord Fairfax's Morocco Bafb were among the next brought in. Then came Place's White Turk, the property of Mr. Place, studmaster to Oliver Cromwell when Protec- tor, 1653 to 1658. He was sire of Wormwood and Commoner. Dodsworth was bred in Barbary, but foaled in England. His dam, a Barb mare, was imported in the reign of Charles II. (1660 to 1685), and was called a Royal mare. Dodsworth was the sire of Dickey Pierson. ROYAL MARES. King Charles II. sent abroad the master-of- horse to procure a number of mares for breeding, and the mares brought back by him (as also many of their produce) have since been called Royal mares. Charles I. had at Tutbury, Staffordshire, in 1643, a number of mares and stallions described as race-horses, a list of which, from the records, includes three Morocco mares. Pulleine's Chestnut Arabian; the D'Arcy Yellow Turk, sire of Spanker and Brimmer ; the D'Arcy White Turk, sire of Hautboy ; the JUSTIN MORGAN 43 White-legged Lowther Barb; the Hemsley Turk, sire of Bustler; the Lambert Turk ; Shaftsbury Turk, sire of the Lonsdale Counselor ; Gresley's Arabian, called Bay Roan, were all brought in, probably between 1650 and 1680. The Stradling or Lister Turk was brought by the Duke of Berwick from the seige of Buda, 1686. He got the Lister Snake and Coneyskins. Ely Turk ; the Oglethorpe Arabian, sire of Makeless ; and the D'Arcy Chestnut Arabian follow. The Byerly Turk was Captain Byerly's charger in Ireland in King William's wars ( 1 689, etc. ) . From him Jigg and Basto descended. The Leedes Arabian, that is very prominent through several brood mares descended from him, must have been foaled about 1690. Lord Oxford's Dun Arabian came in about that time. The Marshall or Selaby Turk, quite a prominent horse, was the property of Mr. Marshall's brother, stud-master to King William, Queen Anne and King George I. He got Curwen's old Spot. The Fenwick Barb, sire of Whynot; the Taffolet or Morocco Barb, that got Honeycomb Punch about 1692 ; the Brownlow Turk, sire of Gray Grantham ; Wilkenson's Bay Arabian ; Chillabyor King William's White Barb, sire of Grayhound ; Wastell's Turk, sire of the Pet Mare, followed in about the order named. The Holderness Turk, sire of Hartley's Blind Horse, was brought from Constantinople by Queen Anne's ambassador about 1704. Grayhound was bred in Barbary, where both his dam, Slugey, a natural Barb, and his sire, Chillaby, were purchased and brought to England by Mr. Marshall. Grayhound was foaled in England, where he was a common stallion in the North and covered many of the best mares. Hutton's Gray Barb was given by King Wrilliam to Mr. Hutton in 1700. Croft's Bay Barb was got by Chillaby, out of the Moonah Barb mare. Curwen's Bay Barb was a present to Louis XIV. from Muley Ishmael, king of Morocco, and was brought into England by Mr. Curwen, who procured him and the Thoulouse Barb of Count By- ram and Count Thoulouse, natural sons of Louis XIV. Curwen's Bay Barb proved a very excellent horse. Sir J. Williams' Turk (also called the Honywood Arabian, and Sir C. Turner's White Turk) got Mr. Honywood's Two True Blues. 44 THE MORGAN HORSE Alcock's Arabian, known also as Mr. Pelham's Gray Arab, and was afterwards Duke of Ancaster's, got Crab in 1721. Sir H. Harpur's Barb ; the St. Victor Barb, brought from France and sire of Bald Galloway; the Akaster Turk, sire of Chaunter; and the Oysterfoot Arabian come next. Barley's Arabian, probably a Turk or Syrian horse, was brought from Smyrna to Yorkshire, England, by a Mr. Darley, who was agent for merchandise and member of a hunting club at Smyrna. This horse covered but few well-bred mares, but was sire of Flying or Devonshire Childers, Bartlet's Childers, Almanzor, Aleppo, etc. The Cyprus Arabian (Duke of Rutland's), thought to have been the same as the Hampton Court Chestnut Arabian, was brought in about 1720. The Hampton Court Litton Arabian ; Howe's Persian; Bassett's Oxford Bloody-Shouldered Arabian, sire of Bolton Sweepstakes; Hutton's Bay Turk ; the Lonsdale Bay Arabian, sire of Monkey ; Lex- ington Gray Arabian ; the Pigot Turk or Mostyn's Bay Barb ; Beth- ell's Arabian; Lonsdale's Black Arabian; Johnson's Turk ; Sir M. Newton's Bay Arabian; the Wynn Arabian, sire of Driver; the Wid- drington or Bridgewater Gray Arabian ; Crofts' Egyptain ; Conyer's Arabian; the Hall Arabian, sire, in 1722, of Heneage's Whitenose ; the Sutton Turk, Duke of Devonshire's, that covered in 1719; Morgan's Gray Barb ; Morgan's Black Barb ; and the Orford or Walpole Gray Turk appear next. The Belgrade Turk was captured at the siege of Belgrade by General Merci, and sent by him to the Prince de Craon, who pre- sented him to the Prince of Lorraine. He was afterward bought by Sir Marmaduke Wyvill and died his property about 1740. We come now to the Godolphin Arabian, the greatest, and about the last of the Arabs brought to England, whose blood is conspicu- ous in the English thoroughbred horse of to-day. He was a brown bay with some white on the off hind heel, about fifteen hands. It is not known whether he was an Arabian or Barb. He was imported from France to England, in 1730, by Mr. Coke, and given by him to Lord Godolphin. The u General Stud Book" says : "It is remarkable that there is not a superior horse now on the turf without a cross of the Godolphin Arabian, neither has there been for many years past". From this summary of the introduction of the Arab into England it will be seen that there were a large number of Arab horses im- ported into England between 1625 and 1730; that there were also quite a number of Arab mares imported in the same time, and that from these importations arose the English thoroughbred horse. Leopard, presented to Gen. Grant by the Sultan of Turkey. From artist's drawing Godolphin Arabian. From a painting from life JUSTIN MORGAN 45 Other Arabians were imported after the Godolphin, but it is a curious fact that very few of them figure much in English pedigrees. With the arrival of the Godolphin the English thoroughbred seems to have reached his growth. The blood of the native Arab was no more needed. Indeed the English race horse, as a race horse, had become superior to the race from which he sprung. With increased height, about sixteen hands rather than about fifteen, he had acquired in- creased speed at the mile or four miles, and, in his propagation, had be- come entirely independent of the parent stock. Whether the in- creased size of the English horse over the Arab, or how much of it, is due to the native and unknown blood of England admitted through dams that appear as unknown, it is impossible to say. The leaven of this blood no doubts helps to make the difference between the Eng- lish thoroughbred of to-day and the Arab, but undoubtedly, too, this difference is largely due to the different objects sought in the breed- ing. The Arab still breeds his horse for use upon the desert. The Englishman breeds his for use upon the race course. The two uses require a very different animal, and so a different animal has been produced. The first horses imported to the English Colonies in America were the native stock of England. To a large extent, certainly, these were small. It would appear that they were inexpensive horses, cheaply purchased in England and easily raised in America. The first of the improved breed in England, the English race horse, brought to America, that we have account of, was the stallion Tam- erlane and several mares imported by Wm. Penn, into Pennsylvania, about 1697. The results of this importation have entirely disap- peared, and the first of the English thoroughbreds brought to this country, whose blood appears in American pedigrees, was the stal- lion Bulle Rock, by the Darley Arabian, foaled about 1718 and imported into Virginia, it is said, in 1730. There followed, imported to Vir- ginia, about in the order named : Dabster, sorrel, blaze in face, white legs, flaxen mane and tail, glass eyes, said to be foaled 1735 and imported 1741 ; got by Hob- goblin, son of Aleppo: dam by Spanker; 2d dam by Hautboy. Edgar says he got, in general, very good stock. Monkey, foaled 1725, imported 1747; got by the Lonsdale Bay Arabian. He is said to have got about two hundred and fifty colts in America and to have died in 1754. His stock were excellent. Jolly Roger, chestnut, foaled 1741 and died in Greenville county, Virginia, 1772; got by Roundhead, son of Flying Childers : dam by 46 THE MORGAN HORSE Partner. Skinner's "American Turf Journal" says he was the first horse that gave distinction to running stock in Virginia. Janus, by Janus, son of the Godolphin Arabian, foaled 1/46, and imported about 1752. His dam was by Fox. He was of com- pact build ; stock of similar form and very fleet at short distances. Morton's Traveler, imported about 1753 ; before mentioned. Regulus, foaled 1747, by Regulus, son of Godolphin Arabian. Childers, by Blaze, son of Flying Childers ; imported about 1751. Justice, by Regulus, foaled about 1752, and imported 1760. Juniper, bay, foaled 1752 and imported by Col. Symms of Vir- ginia, 1761; got by Babraham, -son of the Godolphin Arabian: dam by Stamford Turk, etc. Advertised at Philadelphia, 1768-69- 70, by Jacob Hiltzheimer. Fearnaught, bay, foaled 1755 ; got by Regulus; imported March, 1764, by Col. John Baylor of Virginia, at a total expense of ,£289 5s. 6d. sterling, and proved a distinguished stallion. These among the best, and besides these Bruce records (mostly taken from Edgar) the following stallions imported to Virginia, pre- vious to the Revolution (1775): Aristotle, bay, fifteen and three- quarters hands; got by Cullen Arabian; advertised in the "Virginia Gazette", 1773, by Benjamin Harrison.

To these should be added Valiant, owned by Col. Baird, by Grasshopper, foaled 1731, son of Crab; and probably Shock, previous to 1761. In this same time, beginning about 1760, there were nearly as many importations into South Carolina as to Virginia. The follow- ing appear in Milliken's "History of the Turf of South Carolina", a work carefully prepared by a competent editor : Brutus, a roan horse, foaled 1748, by Regulus; he got some very good stock. Oroonoko, black, foaled 1745, by Crab: dam Miss Slam- erkin, by YoungTrue Blue. Slouch, by Cade. Matchless, bay, foaled 1754, by the Godolphin Arabian.

Flag of Truce, brown, by Sober John. Fallower, by Blank, son of Godolphin Arabian: dam by Partner; 2d dam by Bloody Buttocks, etc. (same extension as Morton's Traveler). This Fallower is supposed to have got the 4th dam of the very celebrated race-horse Timoleon, foaled 1814, by Sir Archy. Starling, a very handsome horse, by Starl- ing: dam by Godolphin Arabian, 2d dam by Childers. Antaeus, by Spectator, son of Crab. Snipe, by Snap, son of Snip. Mark, by Young Babraham. Lofty, by Snap. Friar, foaled 1760, imported 1767; by South, son of Regulus. Flimnap, bay, foaled 1775, also by South. Flimnap was a small horse, fourteen and one-half hands, of excellent bone and sinew and a fast runner. We have seen that De Lancey, in New York, imported Wildair and Lath, 1764 and 1768. Telemachus, a son of Blaze, was owned 48 THE MOR GAN HORSE in New York or New Jersey, probably before 1760. Falstaff, brown, by Cade, is advertised in the "New York Mercury,", 1762. Frederick, black, fifteen hands, by a son of Hobgoblin, was imported in 1764 and advertised at Freehold, New Jersey, in 1765-66. Batchelor, by Garland, son of Bolton's Starling, was imported, 1768, to New York and stood that season at Little Plains, Long Island, and in Sharon, Connecticut. Old England, by Young Starling, was beaten in a four-mile race at Har- lem, fall of 1763, by True Briton, son of Othello, and was probably imported that season. He stood in vicinity of New York and at Phil- adelphia. Childers, by Routh's Crazy, son of Flying Childers, is ad- vertised at Pavonia, New Jersey, 1765. A bay horse, Hero, by Young Starling, dam by Slipby and running back through Partner, Grayhound, Wastel's Turk, etc., to Dodsworth and Layton Barb mare, was im- ported spring of 1763, probably by one of the DeLanceys, and is adver- tised that year and a number of seasons following, by Jeremiah Smith, to cover at Connecticut farms in Elizabeth, New Jersey. A gray horse, Young Starling, by Starling, and dam by Regulus, defeated old England, atHempstead Plains, October, 1765, and is advertised the next season to cover at Hempstead. Ferdinand, a bay Spanish horse, foaled 1760, is advertised in Monmouth county, New Jersey, in 1767; and Somerset, described as a beautiful gray Barb, at Hempstead Plains the same year. Another Arabian, called Bashaw, fifteen hands, said to be bred by the Emperor of Morocco, is advertised at Flushing, 1768. Bay Richmond, bay, fifteen hands, foaled 1771, got by Babraham : dam Dido, by Changeling; imported from England by Lewis Morris, is advertised near Kingston, New Jersey, 1779. Young Sifter from Ireland, by Sifter, son of Sifter of Warwick, England: dam Primrose, by Dimple, is advertised in Philadelphia, 1753-4; and, in 1767-9 and 1770, is also advertised in Philadelphia, the Belsize Arabian, "a genuine Arab of superior form, full size, great strength and admirable beauty". Northumberland, fifteen hands, by old England, son of Godolphin Arabian, is advertised in Philadelphia, 1768-69-70, and in Brooks county, Pennsylvania, 1776; and Whirligig, bay, foaled 1763, by Cap- tain, son of Young Cartouche, was imported to Philadelphia, 1 773, and is advertised, 1776, at Mr. Hunt's, in New Jersey, at which time Miss Slamerkin, by Wildair, owned by Mr. Hunt, was undoubtedly bred to him and produced the mare that was the grandam of Mambrino. Selim, chestnut, foaled 1768, by Wildman's Babraham, was imported to New Jersey, 1773. The following stallions are mentioned in Edgar or Bruce as hav- JUSTIN MORGAN 49 ing been imported to America but without information into what State, or when. Genius, bay, foaled 1753, by Babraham, and a full brother to imported Juniper. We think he went to New York. Hector, black, foaled 1/45, by Lath, son of Godolphin Arabian. Hero, bay, foaled 1 747, by Blank; dam by Godolphin Arabian. Valiant, dun, by Dor- mouse, bay, foaled 1738, son of Godolphin Arabian. Lycurgus, probably owned in Virginia, said to be by Blank. Merry Pintle, gray, owned in Virginia, by old England, son of Godolphin Arabian. North Star, bay, foaled 1768, by Matchem, son of Cade. Partner, bay, by Partner, son of Jigg: dam by Godolphin Arabian. Skim, gray, foaled 1746, by the Ancaster Starling, by Bolton Starling, son of Bay Bolton. Slim, chestnut, fifteen hands, foaled 1768, by a son of Babraham; advertised near Annapolis, Maryland, 1776. Tar- quin, foaled 1720, by the Hampton Court Chestnut Arabian. This last is very doubtful, as, indeed, are several of the others. The importations into Maryland were among the earliest, and in- clude some of the best stock. Gov. Ogle's Spark was a noted horse. Both' he and Routh's Crab were probably imported about 1746; and the noted brood mares, Queen Mab, Miss Colville, and Selima, about 1750. The famous Othello was bred by Col. Tasker of Maryland and got by Crab, probably Routh's Crab above : dam bred by the Duke of Somerset and got by the Hampton Court Childers. Spark was got by Aleppo, son of the Darley Arabian ; his dam, full sister to Squire Bathurst's Look-about-you, by the Bartlet Childers ; 2d dam by old Spark, son of Honeycomb Punch; and 3d dam by the Rutland Coneyskins, out of Sweetlips. This Sweetlips could not have been Sweetlips by Cade, as given by Bruce, for Sweetlips by Cade, dam by Jigg, etc., was not foaled until 1742; but Spark, of which she is made 4th dam, was foaled a number of years earlier than that. American authorities, too, have confused this Spark with old Spark, a very different horse ; and so they confuse Col. Tasker's Othello with the famous English running horse, Othello, by Crab, son of the Alcock Arabian. This last Othello, whose dam was Miss Slamerkin, by Young True Blue, was covering in England after Col. Tasker's Othello was advertised in this coun- try, and it is safe to say was never imported to this country. So American authorities state that Miss Colville was the old Wilkes mare, which is impossible, the old Wilkes mare having produced a colt in 1712, and Miss Colville one in 1756. They also state that Garnett's Mille, which they call Gant's Milly, was imported, which is not true, as she, too, was bred by Col. Tasker, and got by Gov. Ogle's 50 THE MORGAN HORSE Spark, above : dam, imported Queen Mab, by Musgrove's Gray Arabian; 2d dam by the Hampton Court Childers. It is quite possible that the dam of Tasker's Othello was Miss Colville, above, and also that Miss Colville was the dam of Queen Mab. In several old advertisements the dam of Queen Mab is given as ''Miss Caldwell", which is, probably, a misprint for Colville, as the name, Miss Caldwell, appears nowhere else. Selima was by the Godolphin Arabian, and one of the most famous of imported mares. We notice that the last edition of the " General Stud Book " in England credits her to the large Hartley Mare, selecting for that purpose a bay filly from that mare that was foaled in 1746 and got by the Godolphin Arabian. We hope that the general pedigrees of their stud book have more to sustain them than has this pedigree, or their pedigree of Lath, imported 1763, which the same edition says is the colt Protector, that appears in the pro- duce of the mare Crazy, by Lath ; whose dam (Crazy's) was Bay Basto, by Childers; 2d dam by Basto ; 3d dam by the Curwen Bay Barb, etc. ; otherwise we will have to consider their foundation work as largely a series of guesses not sustained by evidence. Very pos- sibly they accepted the American version, but they should have known better. Selima was chestnut and ran as a four-year-old at Annapolis, Md., in 1752. Protector ran in England in 1770. Lath ran in America and won in 1768-69-70-71 and was beaten in 1772, after which he was kept for stock. The advertisement of Lath in 1 773, when he was owned by De Lancey, and so again his advertise- ment, by Mr. Goode, in the "Virginia Gazette", 1779, states that his dam was by Lath; 2d dam by Childers; 3d dam by Makeless; 4th dam a full sister of Honeycomb Punch, by the Taffolet Barb ; 5th dam a natural Barb mare. De Lancey gave pedigrees very ac- curately and we have no doubt the above is entirely correct. It is also stated in this pedigree of Lath that his grandam was the grandam of Weasel and of Col. Tasker's Selima, which, too, is pro- bably correct. By referring to the "General Stud Book", page 13, edition of 1891, it will be seen that a mare there called the Makeless Mare has pre- cisely the pedigree of this third dam of Lath, and among her produce is, 1 72 5, the filly, old Polly, bred by the Duke of Devonshire and got by Flying Childers. This old Polly has a filly, Polly, called Young or Devonshire Polly,also bred by the Duke of Devonshire, and got by Lath ; and this Young Polly has, in 1 766, a filly by Shepherd's Crab. She pro- duced every year from 1758 to 1768 inclusive, as appears in the " Gen- eral Stud Book." page 157, except 1761 and 1763. Here comes the JUSTIN MORGAN 51 opportunity for a Yankee guess that in 1763 she had a colt Lath, by Shepherd's Crab, that went to America. There is hardly a doubt of this, and it follows that old Polly, by Flying Childers : dam by Make- less; 2d dam a sister to Honeycomb Punch, by the Taffolet Barb ; and 3d dam a natural Barb ; was the grandam of Selima. This last fact would be fairly well sustained from the advertise- ment of Lath, owned by De Lancey, for it is not to be supposed that De Lancey would have so stated without knowing it to be true. De Lancey often raced his horses at Annapolis, and had every oppor- tunity to know about Col. Tasker's stock. But that this old Polly was the grandam of Selima is sustained by other and entirely inde- pendent testimony. Among the get of Polly is a filly by Fox, which, the " General Stud Book" states, was sold to Lord Godolphin. This Fox Mare, with her produce, appears on page 88, G. S. B., and among them is a bay stal- lion Weasel, foaled 1754, bred by Lord Godolphin, and got by the Go- dolphin Arabian. Her first progeny is the bay colt, Locust, by Crab, foaled, as it states, about 1744, and also bred by Lord Godolphin. Her produce between 1744 and 1754 are not given, but she has a filly in 1753, also bred by Lord Godolphin, and got by his Arabian. In Skinner's " American Turf Register ", Vol. 6, page 157(1 834) , the pedigree of Chloe, in the stud of Benj. Ogle Tayloe, Windsor, Va., is given, extending to Col. Tasker's Selima, of which it says: "She was out of one of Lord Godolphin's best mares". A note by the editor adds : "Presented to Col. Tasker in England upon the ex- press condition of her exportation and that she should not run in the kingdom". Page 423 of this same volume, in giving pedigrees of animals in stud of Thomas Emory, Queen Anne county, Maryland, gives that of Selima thus: "Her dam was by old Fox and her grandam by Flying Childers" ; which is correct. Her dam is the Fox Mare above, and she was bred by Lord Godolphin and foaled in 1748. There were besides imported to Maryland : Dove, gray, fifteen and a quarter hands, by Young Cade : dam by Teaser; 2d dam by Seawing Arabian. Imported, 1761, by Dr. Hamilton. Tanner, brown, fifteen and a quarter hands, by Young Cade. Imported 1764. Badger, gray, by Bosphorus : dam by Black-and-all-Black ; 2d dam by Flying Childers. Imported by Gov. Eden of Maryland, and was advertised to stand in Northampton county, North Carolina, 1777. Figure, bay, fifteen and a half hands; foaled 1757, got by old 52 THE MORGAN HORSE Figure, son of the Belgrade Turk. Imported, 1/65, by Dr. Hamil- ton. A successful runner, both in England and America. There is very little record of stallions or mares imported to New England before the Revolution. In 1775 Fox, foaled 1767, is advertised in Connecticut, and it is stated that his sire was the famous English Fox of Newport, Rhode Island : dam, a Narragansett pacer. Wyllis' Arabian Ranger was imported to Hartford in 1766, and the English horse Driver to New Hampshire, by Gov. Wentworth, at an early date, but we do not know the year. Besides Jenny Cameron, the Cub Mare, Fair Rachael and Tas- ker's Selima, the noted brood mares imported before the Revolu- tion are, as recorded by Bruce : Betty Blazella, by Blaze : dam Jen- ny Cameron; imported with her dam by John Tayloe Sr. of Vir- ginia. She was the dam of Nonpariel, son of Morton's Traveler ; Tom Jones, by imported Tom Jones; Yorick and Tryall, by Morton's Traveler; a filly, by imported Valiant; and, 1769, the filly, Quaker Lass, by imported Koulikhan. Calista, bay, by Forrester: dam, by Crab — Hobgoblin, etc. She had colts by imported Janus (1769), Fearnaught, Traveler and Vampire. Childers Mare: dam by Godolphin Arabian; imported, 1748, by Gen. McNaught of Virginia, and bred to imported Monkey, Janus, Silvereye and Tasker's Othello. Duchess (Bland's), foaled 174-, by Cullen Arabian: dam by Croft's Partner, etc. ; imported to South Carolina ; bred to imported Traveler, Juniper, Fearnaught, Jack of Diamonds and Lindsay's Arabian, also to Apollo, by imported Traveler. Jenny Dismal, by Dismal, son of Godolphin Arabian : dam by Whitefoot, son of Bay Bolton ; imported to Virginia by Col. Baylor ; bred to imported Sober John, Jolly Roger, and five times to imported Fearnaught. Kitty Fisher, gray, by Cade : dam by Somerset Arabian. Im- ported to Virginia by Carter Braxton. Bred to imported Flimnap, Vampire, Oscar, Jolly Roger, Shark, Lonsdale, and three times to imported Fearnaught. Mary Gray, gray, foaled 1742, by Roundhead: dam by Partner. Imported, 1746, probably to Virginia. Bred to imported Dabster, and a number of times to imported Jolly Roger. Miss Colville has already been mentioned. Moll Brazen, gray, foaled 1761, by Cub: dam by Torrismond. THE MORGAN HORSE 53 Imported to Virginia by Henry Mitchell ; bred to imported Fear- naught, to Silverlegs and Othello. Nancy Bywell, bay, foaled about 1/61, imported by Mr. Mitch- ell of Maryland, owned by Col. Lloyd, got by Matchem, son of Cade. She was a successful racer. Bred to imported Tanner and Lloyd's Traveler. Queen Mab. The following information of this mare from Skinner's "American Turf Register", volume 6, pages 207-8 is the best we have of her : " PEDIGREES OF HORSES OF THE OLDEN TIMES. " DEAR SIR: — In looking over some old papers of my father's a few days since, I accidentally found the following pedigrees, which may perhaps be of some use to the sporting world, as I do not find either of them in your magazine. JOHN M. GARNET". " Old Spark was got by Aleppo, son of the Barley Arabian (sire of Childers) ; his dam was full sister to Squire Bathurst's Look-about-you ; she was got by the Bartlett Childers ; her dam by old Spark ; her grandam by the Rutland Coneyskins, out of Sweet Lips. " Queen Mab was got by Musgrove's Gray Arabian ; her dam by the Hampton Court Childers ; her grandam by Gov. Harrison's Arabian ; her great-grandam by the Chestnut Arabian ; her great- great-grandam by Leedes ; her great-great-great-grandam was a bay mare brought over by Mr. Marshall, and was the dam of Mr. Croft's Grayhound. "The above pedigrees of old Spark and Queen Mab I have now by me from under the hands of their breeders. May 20, 1758. BENJ. TASKER, JR." " Mille, the filly I sold Mr. Sprigg, was got by old Spark, and her dam Queen Mab. BENJ. TASKER, JR." " Queen Mab had but two foals after she came to America. The first was Pacolet, that Col. Tasker ran several times in Virginia ; the second was Mille, which my father bought at six months old, on the death of Queen Mab. Col. Tasker never was possessed of any of the produce from Mille ; he had many from old Spark. RICHARD SPRIGG." The following advertisement appears in the "Maryland Gazette", 1761 : "To be sold at public auction, pursuant to the testament of the Hon. Benj. Tasker, deceased, May 21, 1761, at Bellaire, near Queen 54 THE MORGAN HORSE We will close this chapter with corrected produce of the Cub Mare and Fair Rachael. CUB MARE. Produce: Filly.

The filly by Dove appears in adver- tisement of Jersey Fagdown, Westchester, Pennsylvania, 1831, where the fourth dam of Friendship, son of imported Messenger, is stated to have been by imported Dove, out of Fair Rachael, imported by Mr. De Lancey of New York. Dove was imported to Maryland 1761, and is advertised in New Jersey \TJ\. The others, except Arabian, appear in the advertisement given of stock for sale by De Lancey, and, if no error is there made, show that she had twins in 1774. This mare doubtless had other colts, though Bruce credits to her only Fair Rachael, by imported Lath, which may be the filly of 1774, or another by that horse. West Springfield, Massachusetts Bridge over Connecticut River, near Springfield, Vermont 55 Ill JUSTIN MORGAN (CONTINUED) The dam of Justin Morgan was a medium-sized light bay marer with brownish mane and tail inclining to black, foaled in 1784, and bred at West Springfield, Massachusetts ; her sire was Diamond, bred at East Hartford, Connecticut, and got by the Wildair, owned by Mr. Church of Springfield, son of Wildair that was imported by Col. James DeLancey with the Cub mare ; the dam of Diamond is stated by Justin Morgan in his advertisement to have been a good mare, but her breeding is not given. The darn of Church's Wildair "was the noted imported mare of the Wildair breed owned byCapt. Samuel Burt of Springfield, Massachusetts". Wildair was a famous bay thoroughbred, foaled in 1753, bred in England by Mr. Swinburne, and imported with the Cub mare by Col. James DeLancey, in 1764. He remained in this country till early in 1773, when he was sent back to England, where his service fee was forty guineas. The sire of Wildair was Cade : first dam by Steady, foaled 1720, son of Devonshire Flying Childers ; second dam by Partner; third dam by Greyhound; fourth dam Chestnut Layton, by Makeless; fifth dam Bay Layton, by Counselor; sixth dam by Brimmer ; seventh dam by Place's White Turk ; eighth dam by Dods- worth, and ninth dam, the Layton Barb mare. Cade, the sire of Wildair, was bred and owned by Lord Godolphin and got by the Godolphin Arabian : dam Roxana, by Bald Galloway; second dam, sister to Chanter, by Akaster Turk; third dam by Leedes' Arabian, and fourth dam by Spanker. Steady was gray; foaled 1733; bred by Duke of Devonshire; dam Miss Belvoir, bred by the Duke of Rutland, got by Gray Grant- ham, son of the Brownlow Turk; second dam by Paget Turk; third dam Betty Percival, by Leedes' Arabian ; fourth dam by Spanker, son of the D'Arcy Yellow Turk. Partner (Croft's) was foaled 1718; bred by Mr. Pelham ; got by Jigg, son of the Byerly Turk: dam, sister to Mixbury, by Curwen's Bay Barb. 56 THE MORGAN HORSE Greyhound was bred in Barbary, after which both his sire and dam were purchased and brought into England by Mr. Marshall. He was got by King William's White Barb, Chillaby, out of Slugey, a natural Barb mare. Chestnut Layton was foaled 1707 and bred by Mr. Crofts; her dam, Bay Layton, was also bred oy Mr. Crofts. Wildair was landed at Baltimore in 1764 when Dr. John Sims there bred to him a mare by Ariel, the produce being the colt after- wards known as Sims' Wildair. The following advertisement from the New York Mercury is the earliest we have found of Wildair : " To cover after the loth of May, at the Bowery, the fine bay horse called Wildair, late the property of Jennison Shafto, Esq. He was got by old Cade, son of the Godolphin Arabian, his dam by Steady, son of Childers, out of a daughter of the brave old Partner. Wildair won a match of IOOO guineas and two great subscriptions at New- market, besides several prizes at other places ; was esteemed by all sportsmen the fleetest horse of his time, and is thought to be equal to any horse in England as a stallion. The conditions of covering and other particulars will be timely advertised. April 22, 1765". Advertisments of Wildair, at the same place, appear for 1766, at eight pounds, with eight shillings to groom. In 1767 appears the following : "Wildair will cover the ensuing season at six pounds, and six shillings to groom. His pedigree and performances have been so often advertised that it is needless to repeat them. His size, figure and blood are superior to those of any horse in America. He was ac- knowledged by every sportsman in England to be the best and fast- est horse in the world. This horse has been very lucky in getting foals. All those produced by even the most ordinary mares are re- markably large, well-shaped and beautiful, and justly entitle him to the character of the best stallion in America". His advertisements continue, on like terms, in 1769, 1770, and 1771, and in the advertisement for 1771 is the following: "Angel- ica, the first that Wildair got that started, won the four-year-old plate at Philadelphia last fall, beating five others". In 1773 appears this: "The bay horse Lath, fifteen hands, strong and bony, got by Shep- ard's Crab; dam by Lath, the best son of Godolphin Arabian. He may be called the best stallion in America, Wildair bein^ sold and JUSTIN MORGAN 57 embarked for England". Thus it appears that Wildairwas returned to England before the season of 1773. The popularity of Wildair was very great, as shown by the num- ber of stallions descended from him that are advertised in the New York and New England papers of the period following his advent to this country ; a greater number than from any other horse, with Arabian Ranger a good second. Among these we mention : De Lancey's Bashaw, bay with white hind feet; foaled 1768; bred by Col. James De Lancey ; got by imported Wildair : dam, De Lancey's imported Cub mare. Ran at Annapolis in 1772. Adver- tised, 1779, at Great Neck, Long Island; 1783 and 1789 in New Jer- sey, by E. Smith, who also advertised Ptolemy and Juvenal by Wild- air, and Rainbow, 16 hands, by W'ildair Boy. Malton, bay, fifteen and one-half hands, dam by Sampson (see De Lancey's advertisement of stock for sale) ; kept during the Revo- lution at Fishkill, and advertised, 1783, to stand on Long Island, in which advertisement it is stated that his colts were chiefly bays, very fine, and that he had got a great number of them in Dutchess county. Sim's Wildair, from a dam by Ariel, son of Morton's imported Trav- eler, dark bay, fifteen and one-half hands, foaled 1765, and in the " Maryland Gazette " 1778, is advertised to stand at the head of West River at three hundred dollars, with ten dollars to groom. Macaroni, bay, fifteen hands, foaled 1769, dam also by Ariel; took the purse for four-year-olds, 1773, at the Powles Hook Course; advertised in New Jersey, 1782, '83 and '87. Trimmer, chestnut, dam a half-bred mare; advertised at Gravesend, Long Island, 1769. Young Wildair, rising fifteen hands, bright bay, foaled 1771 ; advertised in 1777 in Sandersfield, Connecticut, by Jeremiah Whitmore. And in 1784: " The famous Wildair in Adams, Massachusetts, until June 3 ; after that at Adams and Williamstown, Massachusetts. Got by the famous horse \Vildair; dam full-blooded, by Lath". This is the Russell Horse advertised in Northampton, Massachusetts, 1793-94, thus: "The well-known full-blooded horse Wildair, though known to fame by the name of the Russell Horse. He is a beautiful bright bay, black mane and tail, fifteen hands, well made and lofty carriage. DAVID PHINNEY". Wildair (Church's or Hooker's), was one of the best of the sons of Wildair, as appears from his advertisements and the advertisements of his get. He was advertised in the " Hartford Courant " as follows : In 1778 : " Will cover this season at the stable of the subscriber at Hartford, the famous horse called the Wild Deer, known by the name of Church's Horse. This horse is judged to be superior to 58 THE MORGAN HORSE any in New England, and is the same that was in my keeping last season. WILLIAM HOOKER." In 1781 William Hooker advertises " the famous horse Wildair " at Hartford, only adding that he " is so famous a horse that he needs no description." In 1782 : " Wildair will cover this season at Freeman Kilbourn's stable (terms, four to eight dollars). This beautiful bay horse is the same that covered at Mr. William Hooker's last year, and formerly at Mr. Church's in Springfield." All the above horses, excepting Rainbow, are stated in the ad- vertisements to have been by imported Wildair. Ptolemy is de- scribed as bay, fifteen and three-quarters hands : dam an imported mare by Duke of Devonshire's Traveler. In one of the advertise- ments of imported Wildair it is stated that he is just fifteen hands high. The advertisements abound in more remote issue of Wrildair. These are especially numerous in Vermont, Massachusetts, Connec- ticut, New York and New Jersey. (See Appendix, page 923.) Of the grandam of Justin Morgan nothing certain is known. F. A. Weir, Walpole, New Hampshire, informs us that he understood from "Uncle Si Bellows 2d," who made inquiries in regard to her many years ago, at West Springfield, that she was a descendant of Arabian Ran- ger, afterward known as Lindsay's Arabian. This is the only suggestion of a pedigree of this mare known to us. If it is true, she was quite probably by Sportsman, a son of Arabian Ranger, kept by Justin Morgan in 1778. In his advertisement of Sportsman in 1778 Mr. Morgan says: "His excellence for beauty, strength, saddle, harness, and fine colts are so well known that there needs no further description"; and adds that "it is the same horse that covered at Colchester last season". Selah Norton advertised him in 1776, describing him as "dark grey, one of Ranger's colts, an easy canter for saddle, an excellent trotter for chaise". The dam of Justin Morgan has been believed to have been of the blood of Arabian Ranger by those who did not know that his breeder ever kept a stal- lion of that strain. Mr. Linsley, who was ignorant of this fact, says: "It is thought by some that the dam of the Justin Morgan was a de- scendant of Lindsay's Arabian, which was imported into Connecticut in 1766, being then four years old. This idea seems to have been founded principally upon the resemblance of the Justin Morgan to the stock of that celebrated horse, and, indeed, we are not aware that there is any other ground for this opinion ; still it is entitled to some respect, for a close and striking resemblance between different ani- JUSTIN MOR CAN 5 9 mals in most of their leading characteristics, is certainly strong evi- dence of their relationship. There can be little question that there was a strong resemblance between them. The descendants of the Lindsay Arabian were celebrated for their compactness, speed and endurance, and for an exceedingly playful and tractable temper; they were highly esteemed throughout Connecticut and Massachu- setts, and were most numerous along the valley of the Connecticut River. Many of the cavalry engaged in the siege of Boston, in 1775 and 1776, were mounted on these horses, and their extraordinary qualities attracted the notice of General Washington. Acting upon his advice, Mr. Lindsay found and purchased the horse that has since borne his name, and took him to Virginia. Previous to this time he had been called Ranger. Not only had the stock of this horse be- come well and favorably known in the localities we have mentioned, but at that time a great deal of interest was manifested throughout the country in Arabian or throughbred stock. It is evident that Ranger was then the sire of a very numerous progeny, or they would not have been in the army in sufficient numbers to attract the attention of the commander-in-chief. It cannot, therefore, fairly be objected to this hypothesis, that the descendants of the Lindsay Arabian were too uncommon to render it probable." This was written in 1856. In 1875, John H. Wallace, in an article in his Monthly, after stating that Morgan kept Sportsman a number of years, but that he could find no evidence (as \V-e have) that Morgan ever kept Diamond, proceeds: "Our impression and belief is, therefore, that Sportsman, the son of Lindsay's Arabian, was the sire of the dam of the Morgan Horse. The the- ory that Sportsman got his dam appears to be reasonable in itself, and when we consider the characteristics of the known descendants of Lindsay's Arabian, and compare them with Justin Morgan, we find in almost every point except color some resemblance that would seem to point to the Barb as a common ancestor". In support of the view that the Morgans possessed the same admirable fitness for cavalry use that attracted Washington's atten- tion in the Arabian Ranger stock we quote from "The Horse of America" by Frank Forester (H. W. Herbert), published in 1857: "During the Canadian rebellion of 1837, the English force was augmented by two cavalry regiments. The cavalry consisted of the First Dragoon Guards and of the Seventh Hussars, the latter of which, a light regiment, brought its horses with it from England. The Dragoon Guards, which is as heavy a cavalry regiment as any in the world except the Lifeguards and the Royal Horseguards, which are 60 THE MORGAN HORSE. cuirassiers, came dismounted, and were all horsed from Vermont, with scarcely an exception, the Canadian horses not having either the size or power necessary to carry such weight. " I saw this magnificent regiment several times under arms after the horses had been broken and managed, and certainly never saw a heavy regiment more splendidly mounted in my life. The whole of the artillery was horsed from the same region, and with precisely the stamp of horse which I now see daily before the New York express vans ; and I myself heard a very distinguished officer of rank, who has won still higher distinction in the Crimea, say that the artillery had never, in his knowledge of the service, been better, if so well, horsed, as it was while in Canada. It may be worth while to add that the Hussars, when ordered home, as is usual, in order to save the expense of transportation, sold their horses; but the dragoon guards and artillery took the greater part of theirs, and especially the mares, home with them, owing to their superior quality". Arabian Ranger was a dappled gray, rising fifteen hands, foaled about 1762, and was owned by Col. Wyllis of Hartford, Conn. His first known advertisement is in the "Connecticut Courant" in 1/70, to stand near Hartford in charge of James Nicholls. He is described in this advertisement as " of a fine dapple gray color, rising fifteen hands high, and is allowed by competent judges to be the completest horse ever brought to America." The advertisement also states: "He is a horse of fine strength and beauty, equal perhaps to any in Ameri- ca; of the true Barbary breed, bred in England". And says further : " He is the same horse that was in my keeping last season". This ad- vertisement is substantially repeated in 1776. In 1778 his advertise- ment in the same paper says: "The improved Arabian horse called the Ranger, formerly owned by Col. Wyllis of Hartford, is now owned by James Hyde of Windham". Hyde advertised him again in 1779, and the same season and 1780 he is advertised in the "Vir- ginia Gazette" as follows : "Ranger, an imported Arabian horse, near Port Royal, on my farm. William Lindsay". It is stated on good authority that Lindsay paid for the horse 125 hogsheads of tobacco, equal to 605 guineas. The Albany, New York, "Register" of April, 1 8 1 1, says: "More elegant saddle horses were bred from the old Ranger, or Hartford horse, than from any three other horses ever im- ported to America". A correspondent of Skinner's "Turf Register", in 1829, vol. I, p. 377, who saw Ranger in Virginia, says: "He was a white horse of the most perfect form and symmetry, rather above fifteen hands, of gallant temper and very elegant carriage". In the adver- Washington at Trenton His horse said to be by Arabian Ranger JUSTIN MORGAN 61 tisement of his son, Macaroni, at Royalton, Vt, in 1785, Arabian Ranger is called a ''Moravian Horse". Justin Morgan was a horseman. For the season of 17/8 as we have seen he advertised Sportsman at his home in West Springfield. In 1783 he kept Diamond, and advertised him in the "Massachusetts Gazette" of April 29, as follows : "Will cover this season at the stable of Mr. Justin Morgan, in West Springfield, the horse called Diamond, who sprang from a good mare, and from the horse formerly owned by Mr. Church of Spring- field. West Springfield, April 25, 1783". The season of 1785 he kept the stallion True Briton. This was the last season that Mr. Morgan is known to have kept a stallion be- fore he removed to Vermont, in 1788. Mr. Morgan's health was delicate, and he was unable to do hard work after he was twenty years old. He taught writing, singing and common district schools, the proceeds of which occupations, together with the money from his horses, when he had them, and from his little tavern, constituted his means of livelihood. As a teacher he seems to have been successful, and was greatly liked wherever he went, on account of his urbane manners and upright character. He was mar- ried at the age of about thirty, and four daughters and one son were born to him. His second daughter, Emily, afterwards Mrs. Edgerton, was born February 1784; his son, Justin, March 15, 1786; his third daughter, Nancy, at Randolph, Vermont, September 3, 1788; and his fourth daughter, Polly, at Randolph, March 10, 1791. Ten days after the birth of this last child, Mrs. Martha Morgan, the wife and mother, died at Randolph. The last three dates appear in the town records of Randolph. He was chosen lister in Randolph, March 19, 1789, and Town Clerk, March 9, 1790, and held that office until March 18, 1793. In the spring of 1793, the family was broken up and the children found homes in the families of different neighbors, the son Jus- tin, then seven years old, with his sister Emily, going to live with Daniel Carpenter of Randolph, by whom they were brought up. Mr. Morgan never had his little family together again ; he survived only five years and died at Randolph on the 22d day of March, 1798, in his fifty-first year. The little property that he left was appraised at only $160.13, as appears by the probate records where the dif- ferent articles are enumerated. There is no horse or live stock of any kind in the appraisal. It is thus aoparent that he had parted with 62 THE MORGAN HORSE the horse some time before his death, and there is no evidence that he ever owned any other horse in Vermont. On the i/th of November, 1800, a dividend of eighteen cents on ths dollar was ordered to be paid to creditors. Thus close " the short and simple annals" of the man who brought into the then young and growing Green Mountain State a most interesting and important ele- ment in its prosperity. The following description of the Morgan horse is from D. C. Linsley's excellent work. " The original, or Justin Morgan, was about fourteen hands high and weighed about 950 pounds. His color was dark bay with black legs, mane and tail. His mane and tail were coarse and heavy, but not so massive as has sometimes been described ; the hair of both was straight and not inclined to curl. His head was good, not extremely small but lean and bony, the face straight, forehead broad, ears small and very fine, but set rather wide apart. His eyes were medium size, very dark and prominent, with a spirited but pleasant expression, and showed no white round the edge of the lid. His nostrils were very large, the muzzle small and the lips close and firm. His back and legs were perhaps his most noticeable points. The former was very short, the shoulder blades and hip bones being very long and oblique, and the loins exceedingly broad and muscular. His body was rather long, round and deep, close ribbed up ; chest deep and wide, with the breast bone projecting a good deal in front. His legs were short, close jointed, thin, but very wide, hard and free from meat, with mus- cles that were remarkably large for a horse of his size, and this super- abundance of muscle exhibited itself at every step. His hair was •short and at almost all seasons soft and glossy. He had a little long hair about the fetlocks, and for two or three inches above the fet- locks on the back side of the legs ; the rest of the limbs were entirely free from it. His feet were small but well shaped, and he was in every respect perfectly sound and free from any sort of blemish. He was a very fast walker. In trotting his gait was low and smooth, and his step short and nervous ; he was not what in these days would be called fast, and we think it doubtful if he could trot a mile much, if any, within four minutes, though it is claimed by many that he could trot it in three. "Although he raised his feet but little, he never stumbled. His o proud, bold and fearless style of movement, and his vigorous untir- ing action, have perhaps never been surpassed. When a rider was on him, he was obedient to the slightest motion of the rein, would walk backwards rapidly under a gentle pressure of the bit, and move side- JUSTIN MORGAN 63 ways almost as willingly as he moved forward ; in short, was perfectly trained to all the paces and evolutions of a parade horse ; and when ridden at military reviews (as was frequently the case), his bold, im- posing style, and spirited, nervous action, attracted universal attention and admiration. He was perfectly gentle and kind to handle, and loved to be groomed and caressed ; but he disliked to have children about him, and had an inveterate hatred for dogs, if loose, always chasing them out of sight the instant he saw them. When taken out with halter or bridle he was in constant motion and very playful. He was a fleet runner at short distances. Running horses short dis- tances for small stakes was very common in Vermont fifty years ago. Eighty rods was very generally the length of the course. Among the many races of this description- that he ran were two in 1796, at Brookfield, Vermont, one with a Ijorse called Sweepstakes, from Long Island, and the other with a horse called Silvertail*, from St. Lawrence county, New York ; both of these he beat with ease. Mr. Morgan, who then owned him, offered to give the owner of Sil- vertail two more chances to win the stake, which was fifty dollars, by walking or trotting the horses for it, but the offer was declined. "In harness the Justin Morgan was quiet, but full of spirit, an eager and nimble traveler, but patient in bad spots ; and although for a long time steadily engaged in the heavy work of a new farm, his owner at that time informs us that he never knew him to refuse to draw as often as he was required to, but he pithily adds: 'I didn't very often have to ask him but once, for whatever he was hitched to generally had to come the first time trying'. This uniform kindness at a pull was one of the striking characteristics of this horse, and the same trait may be observed in the greater part of his descendants. Pulling matches and pulling bees were as common in those days as :short races, and the little horse, as he was often called, became quite celebrated for his unvarying willingness to do his best, and for his great power at what is called a dead lift". Mr. Linsley also inserts a long letter from Solomon Steele, who ;seerns to have known the horse well, and who says, among other things, that he could out-draw, out-walk, out-trot and out-run ever}' horse that was ever matched against him. The origin of Justin Morgan seems to have first been discussed in print in 1841. In the October number of the "Albany Cultiva- tor" for that year appeared the following communication from George Barnard of Sherbrooke, Province of Quebec. " Messrs. Gaylord & Tucker : I lately received great satisfaction from hearing what appears to be a correct account of the origin of *See appendix. 64 THE MORGAN HORSE the Morgan horse of Vermont; a breed known and esteemed for ac- tivity and hardiness, throughout all the Northern States. Not re- markable for size, and scarcely known to the sportsman for speed, this race is perhaps as highly celebrated as any for general useful- ness, and for such a degree of fleetness as entitles it to the appella- tion of fast traveler. "Their height is from fourteen to fifteen hands ; color bay, neck round and heavy, with lean heads, broad and deep chest, the fore limbs set far apart, clean and sinewy legs, short, strong backs, with that projection of the ribs from the spine which is a sure indication of powerful lungs, and, consequently, of great wind and bottom. The original Morgan horse, called also the Goss horse, is well known to have appeared in Randolph, and St. Johnsbury, Vermont, some forty years since, and to 'have been kept as a stallion, at first with but little, and subsequently with very great patronage, some five and twenty years, or until he was thirty years old or more. Various accounts are current as to his origin ; many think it quite distinct from the Canadian breed of Norman French extraction, and consider the horse to have been of Dutch blood, and to have been introduced from some of the settlements on Hudson river, southward of Albany. Stories are told of a traveler's blood mare having got with foal by a Canadian or Indian pony, at various places north and west, and hav- ing brought forth this horse ; all these accounts are improbable, and appear to be unauthenticated. " For the last dozen years, being aware, both by observation and experience, of the surprising results of crossing the Canadian with other breeds of horses, and having become acquainted with the vast variety and different qualities of various races in the Canadian breed, I have believed that the original Morgan horse was of French Cana- dian origin. This opinion being confirmed by the accounts here given, I am anxious to ascertain whether any one can prove it erron- eous, and, if not, to make it public, that it may be known that thou- sands of horses may be obtained in French Canada of the same blood, and not inferior in qualities to the Morgan, whose existence added several hundred thousand dollars to the wealth of Vermont. Sherbrooke, P. Q., August, 1841. GEORGE BARNARD". To this is affixed the following affidavit: " I was about thirteen years of age when the Morgan horse was first brought to St. Johnsbury, in Vermont, where my father lived. As I am nowfiifty, it must have been about 1804. On the eve of the second Tuesday in June (for I well remember that the morrow was JUSTIN MORGAN 65 training-day), I was at my father's house, and a man of the name of Able Shorey, a skilful horseman of the neighborhood, was there also; when David Goss, Jr., my cousin, then aged about seventeen, came up from his father's, distant about three-quarters of a mile, with a message to Shorey, requesting him to go to his father's (my uncle David's) and trim a horse that uncle John Goss had just then brought over from Randolph, distant forty miles. '• I accompanied them, and, at my uncle David's, we found uncle John from Randolph, with a little, heavy, handsome, active bay horse, which he requested Shorey to trim, chiefly by pulling out and cut- ting the hairs of his tail, which appeared as if it had been gnawed by calves. Uncle John said he was a Canadian horse that he had just got from Justin Morgan of Randolph, who had lately brought him from Montreal. I afterwards frequently heard the manner of his purchas- ing the horse related in my father's and uncle David's families, which was this : Uncle John had lent Morgan the sum of forty dollars, on occasion of the latter's going a journey to Montreal in Canada. Mor- gan obtained the horse, then four years old, at Montreal, and being unable to repay the money on his return, disposed of him to Uncle John, to pay the debt. Uncle John, who was no horseman, now brought him to my uncle David, who was much of a horseman, in the hope that something might be made by keeping him for mares. I remember Shorey's calling him 'a full blood French horse'. "Uncle Goss engaged Shorey to take the horse next day to train- ing, at Major Butler's, and there I saw him cover four mares. "My uncle, David Goss, kept the horse through the season, working him on his farm, and putting him to mares when they were brought; he also kept him through the next winter and the ensuing spring, when the foals were found to be universally excellent; uncle John took him back to Randolph, \vhere he made his second season : the third season he was brought to St. Johnsbury, and stood at uncle David's again. After this, as I went to learn my trade, I cannot give so particular an account of the horse, but remember that he was kept several seasons in St. Johnsbury. "This, and more to the same purpose, may be attested by David Goss, Sen., Philip Goss, David Goss, Jr.. Clark Stearns, Abel Shorey, Abel Butler, and Thomas Pierce, all of St. Johnsbury. JOHN STEARNS. "Sworn before me at Charlestown village, this I4th of August, 1841. DAVID CONNELL, J. P". 66 THE MORGAN HORSE It is always well in examining the testimony, especially of those who are ignorant, to distinguish between what they have a right to know of their own knowledge, and what comes to them from hear- say, or the pretended knowledge of others. Frequently they them- selves make no distinction. Here, this Mr. Stearns could not well be mistaken about seeing the horse, or the attendant circumstances, and so far his testimony is valuable. The hearsay evidence that he got about his origin, we know to be nearly or quite valueless. Mr. Linsley calls attention to the date that Mr. Stearns fixes of the Jus- tin Morgan's first appearance in St. Johnsbury, June, 1804, which he says is perhaps correct, but adds: "He says: 'Uncle John said he was a Canadian horse that he had got from Justin Morgan, of Randolph, who had lately brought him from Montreal' — that is to say, within a few weeks, that spring, or perhaps the previous winter. Now Justin Morgan died March 22d, 1798, or six years previous to tnis time, as we have shown". It may be further suggested that Mr. Stearns may have had some foundation for his statement that Justin Morgan had lately brought the horse from Montreal. He was mistaken as to the man from whom his uncle got the horse — a not unnatural mistake when we consider the horse's well-known name, and the long lapse of time. It was Robert Evans and not Justin Morgan. But substituting Evans for Morgan, the statement may not be so far out of the way. John Goss may have furnished Evans the money to go and get the horse, or it may be true that he went bail for Evans — it is evident that Goss' ownership grew out of some transaction, involving money, between him and Evans. Now where Evans found the horse we do not know. His whereabouts are undetermined from February, 1797, when he passed to John Hawkins at Montpelier, till he re-appears in the hands of Robert Evans at Randolph, probably about 1801. But there are traditions that the horse went to " the north part of the State", and he may have gone into Canada. If Evans really did find him in Canada it would furnish the foundation for Mr. Stearns' state- ment. In the advertisement of Sherman Morgan, under the name of Lord North, John Langdon, who shows himself very familiar with the original Morgan, says: "The Lord North was sired by the old Morgan horse, well known at Randolph, Danville, Mont- pelier and through the center and north part of Vermont". So it would seem that the Justin Morgan did at some time stand further north than Danville, or Lyndon, where Sherman was bred , and where the some advertisement says he was "formerly owned". This was prob- JUSTIN MORGAN 67 ably during the interval between the ownership of Shepard and that of Evans. In a second letter to the " Albany Cultivator", dated October 25, 1841, Mr. Barnard further writes: "In my communication on this subject, published in the late October number, I have expressed too confident an opinion in saying I believe the original horse (Morgan) was of French Canadian origin. I have recently had some acquaintance with a Morgan horse endowed with all the peculiarities of the breed, sufficient to make me forbear any decided opinion on the point in question, until very clear evidence is adduced. The affidavit which I furnished is only probable, and not conclusive, testimony that the original horse was of Norman French descent, and procured in Montreal. "The horse which has been with me of late is one of those called, from being inbred, a full-blooded Morgan — an absurd term, for it is impossible that a descendant can inherit full blood from a single progenitor. The term full-blood, or thorough-bred, can only be used with propriety where the distinctive appellation is derived from a race or sort which furnished both parents ; thus we say a thorough- bred or full-blood English race-horse, a full-blood or thorough-bred Alderney cow, if both sire and dam were of the breed or sort desig- nated. The term thorough-bred, however, has heretofore almost exclusively been applied to race-horses, because for centuries before the present, the racing breed of horses have been the only breed of animals highly cultivated, and of which the pedigree could be proved by written or printed documents. "All the accounts, being not less than half a dozen, which I have heard, of the origin of the first Morgan horse, agree in this, that one Justin Morgan, of Randolph, Vermont, from whom the name was de- rived, owned the animal while he was yet a colt. Doubtless there live per- sons who can testify to his origin, whether or not it be such as repre- sented in the late affidavit. The public would be not only gratified, but greatly benefited by such evidence. There has probably never been another stallion whose stock for thirty or forty years have pro- duced so much net profit to the growers. " I will now endeavor to point out what appears to be the chief points of distinction between the Morgan breed, and the horse of Norman French descent, produced in Canada. Let me premise that a great variety of races exists in the Canadian breed, yet all clearly im- pressed with a certain general character. The broad, courageous-lock- ing head, with ears far apart, thick neck, with general stoutness of 68 THE MORGAN HORSE frame, full breast and strong shoulder, with a round or fleshy croup ; the low set muscles and large sinews, with those tough feet that know not disease, are distinguishing marks of the French Canadian horse. " The shagginess, or abundance of hair in the mane and tail and on the legs, is much owing to the severity of the climate, with the manner of raising the animals, and may be expected in a great meas- ure to disappear under good cultivation, long before the innate excel- lencies and peculiarities will perceptibly change. " The Morgan horse does not partake of all these marks in com- mon with the Canadian. The clear and deep-toned bay color, too, which prevails in the Morgan, is rare among Canadian horses. It occurs in individuals; but unless characteristic of the race fora long period of time, it could hardly be supposed that this color would so generally occur as it does in the Morgan horses of the present day. Peculiarities produced by a single cross are apt to wear away in a few generations, unless maintained by a careful selection on the part of the breeder. If then (supposing the Morgan horse to have come from Canada), his color was an accidental variety, it would not have so generally marked his numerous offspring, unless great pains were taken to preserve it by selection, which has not been the case. It appears evident from the prevalence of this color through several successive generations, as well as the similar descent of various qual- ities, which are authenticated as having belonged to the first known sire, that the Morgan horse, whatever may have been its origin, was of one pure stock ; that is, that he was not cross-bred, or produced by the union of two different breeds ; for in that case, there must have been a greater variety in his progeny; some running to one family, and some to the other, whereas a remarkable similarity is known to prevail in all of this race. And here we may notice that the breeder is apt to find an essential difference in the two races ; the Morgan, crossed or mixed with the various common breeds, inclines to retain its peculiar characteristics and its small size in the offspring for many generations, while all the French Canadian races, though not larger for the most part than the Morgan, when used as a cross, increase the size of the progeny, and frequently assimilate so that the blood can only be recognized by a practiced observer, in the greater development and robustness of form, and the courage, spirit, and aptness to thrive, which are commonly reckoned as constitutional health. " The Morgans differ essentially from the Canadian horses in their action or mode of traveling. A Morgan horse glides over the ground eight or nine miles an hour, with such easy movements of his legs, JUSTIN MORGAN 69 that one would think that they only felt relieved when so employed ; the Canadian, if he has speed, seems to go by main strength, every stride arising plainly from a purposed exertion of his powerful muscles. " Another principal dissimilarity is the endurance of the feet ; and here the Canadian horse has all the advantage. The Morgan appears to be subject, as much as equally strong constitutioned horses of any breed, to founder, and other diseases of the feet, while with the Canadian such ailments are less known, perhaps, than with any other breed in the world. There are numbers of horses in Canada that, under a mass of shaggy hair, possess dry, sinewy legs, on which the severest service never raises a windgall. The legs of the Mor- gan, though destitute of long hair, have this excellent conformation in a very high degree. " The Morgan is a great traveler; an untiring all-day horse, but seldom a very fast trotter or galloper, and less frequently a perfect saddle horse. The Canadian, if he has the power of rapid locomo- tion, inclines for the most part to put forth his energies only for a short time, and then to take a leisurely gait, as if a slight sense of fatigue overbalanced the alacrity of his nervous system. There are, however, splendid exceptions to this description ; horses that with no light loads behind them will travel eighty or even ninety miles in a day. Some of the light-footed Canadian horses, too, are very pleas- ant under the saddle, though in general the weight of the neck and uprightness of the shoulder disqualify them for this use. The head of the Morgan, though not less energetic, is somewhat dissimilar to that of the Canadian. The ears of one are upright; of the other, more apart. The head of the Canadian horse is broader at the up- per part than that of the other. Each has a great space between the eyes, which is considered a sure indication of energy in an animal. The Morgan has the best open nostril for wind and bottom, more like that of the race-horse ; and the whole of the muzzle, as well as the eye and ear, indicate more breeding, or a longer cultivation than those of the Canadian. There is a difference of shape observ- able throughout the whole figure. The Morgan is long in the side, but always short on the back, and strong and beautiful in the loins. His fine shoulder, too, differs from that of the Canadian horse. It is deep, well sloped, comparatively thick at the top, and heavy at the bottom, serving conjointly with a wide chest and the forelegs set far apart to give the horse an appearance of strength and endurance scarcely to be looked for in one of his spirit and fleetness. The high crested neck, and thick wavy tail of the Morgan, show much of the character of some races of the Canadian. 7o THE MORGAN HORSE " Whether the Morgan be a scion of the Canadian stock, or be derived from the Dutch, or some other breed which has disappeared in the United States, appears to be a question of some importance to those who would make good selections in order to improve the breed of horses, and whoever can throw any light on the subject will gratify a large portion of your readers by making known his information through 'The Cultivator'. If the French-Canadian did not supply the Morgan, I, for one, should be glad to learn what other breed has ever been known upon this continent that could boast such excellent qualities for common service as are universally admitted to distin- guish both of these breeds". Mr. Linsley, who inserts this letter, adds : "Had Mr. Barnard been, at the time he penned the foregoing, better acquainted with Morgan horses, he might have added to his list of important particulars in which the two breeds differ materially. The Morgan horse is remarkable for the projection of his ribs from the spine, giving him a wide back and a round barrel ; while the Canadian horse is inclined to be flat-sided. They differ much in their style of traveling. The Morgan raises his fore feet but little, while the Canadian horse has a high and labored action of the fore feet. The Canadian horse is certainly very remarkable for the ex- cellence of his feet, but, however the specimen Mr. Barnard had may have failed in this respect, poor feet are of very rare occurrence among Morgan horses". The effect of Mr. Barnard's letters was to call out a reply from Justin Morgan, son of the original owner of the horse. We left this younger Justin Morgan, at the breaking up of his father's family in the spring of 1793, a lad of seven years, at the home of Daniel Car- penter in Randolph. This was after the colt was brought to Ran- dolph, and was at the beginning of what appears to have been his first public season there in the stud, when he was four years old. Whether the younger Mr. Morgan ever saw the horse during his life, after the breaking up of his family, does not appear, but very likely he did in the years 1793 and 1794. He lived with Mr. Car- penter until he was twenty-one, or thereabouts, and afterwards estab- lished himself as a merchant, in a small way, at the little hamlet known as Stockbridge Common, in Stockbridge, Windsor county, Vermont. ^ Here he lived his life, acquired a modest competence and raised a family, among whom were three sons. One of these, Harvey D., con- tinued his father's business ; another son, Charles, from whom we have received much of this information, made his home in the ad- joining town of Rochester, where he was long a leading business man of good standing and considerable wealth. He served in both bran- JUSTIN MOR CAN 7 1 ches of the State legislature, and was at one cime State inspector of finance. Both these brothers have recently died. But to return to the reply of Justin Morgan the younger. It appeared in the " Albany Cultivator", in the June number, 1842, as follows : "Messrs. Gaylord and Tucker : Mr. Edward Terry of Rochester, Vermont, recently sent me two numbers of your "Cultivator" contain- ing some account of the origin of the Morgan breed of horses, and also an affidavit of John Stearns of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, relative to the same subject. I have read the affidavit of the said Stearns atten- tively, and know that he is entirely mistaken in all his statements rela- tive to the time said horse was brought into Vermont, the place from which he was brought, and the manner in which he says his uncle, John Goss, obtained said horse of my father. I know very well that Mr. John Goss never obtained said horse of my father in any way whatever. My father owned said horse to the day of his death, and, in the settlement of my father's estate, said horse passed into the hands of William Rice, then living at Woodstock, Vermont, since de- ceased. I will now relate the facts relative to said Morgan horse, as I re- collect them. My father, Justin Morgan, brought said horse, or rather said colt, into Randolph, Vermont, in the summer or autumn of 1795. Said colt was only two years old when my father brought him to Ran- dolph, and never had been handled in any way, not even to be led by a halter. My father went to Springfield, Massachusetts, the place of his nativity, and the place from which he removed to Randolph, in the spring or summer of 1795, after money that was due to him at that place, as he said ; and, instead of getting money, as he expected, he got two colts — one a three-year-old gelding colt, which he led, the other a two-year-old stud colt, which followed all the way from Spring- field to Randolph; having been, as my father said, always kept with, and much attached to, the colt he led. Said two-year-old colt was the same that has since been known all over New England by the name of the Morgan horse. My father broke said colt himself, and, as I have before remarked, owned and kept him to the time of his decease, which took place in March, 1798, and said horse was five years old the spring my father died ; and, as before stated, soon after my father's decease, he passed from my father's estate into the pos- session of William Rice of Woodstock, Vermont. I cannot state positively that my father purchased said colt in Springfield, Mass- achusetts, but I am very confident that he purchased him in that town, or in the immediate vicinity on the Connecticut river; and 72 THE MORGAN HORSE I know that my father always, while he lived, called him a Dutch horse. JUSTIN MORGAN. Stockbridge, Vermont, March I, 1842." In the next number of the "Cultivator", July, 1842, under the head of " Condensed Correspondence and Enquiries", is the fol- lowing : "After our last paper went to press, containing the statement of Justin Morgan, Esq., of Stockbridge, Vermont, that his father brought the original Morgan horse from Springfield, Massachusetts, we received a communication from Mr. John Morgan of Lima, in this State, confirm- ing the statement of Justin Morgan, that the sire of the celebrated Mor- gan horses of Vermont came from Massachusetts, instead of from Canada, as has heretofore been supposed. Mr. John Morgan informs us that he resided in Springfield, Massachusetts, near Mr. Justin Mor- gan, Sr., previous to his removal to Vermont, and that the two-year- old stud which he took with him to Vermont, as stated in our last paper by Mr. J. Morgan, Jr., was sired by a horse owned by Selah Norton of East Hartford, Connecticut, called the True Briton or Beautiful Bay : ' He was kept at Springfield one season by the said Justin Morgan, and two years after, I kept him two seasons. This horse was said to be raised by Gen. DeLancey, commander of the refugee troops on Long Island, and ridden by him in the Revolution. It was said that one Smith stole the horse from the General at King's Bridge, while the General was in the tavern — ran him across the bridge and took him to the American army near White Plains, and sold him to Joseph Ward of Hartford, Connnecticut, for three hundred dollars. It was also said at that time that he was sired by the noted imported horse called the Traveler, said to be kept in New Jersey. Ward was a merchant, and kept the horse three or four years for a saddle and carriage horse, and traded him off to Norton, and Norton kept him for mares while he lived. The description of the Morgan breed given by Mr. G. Barnard answers well to the description of the stock of True Briton. His stock was all bright bays, some inclining to sorrel. I have always understood that Morgan kept the colt for a stud at Randolph, and was very celebrated for his stock'." Hon. J. S. Skinner, long editor of the "Turf Register", and the highest authority of his day on pedigrees of highly bred horses, wrote to Porter of the New York "Spirit of The Times", under date, Washington, August 22, 1842, a letter that was published soon after its date in the " Spirit of the Times", and from which we quote : "Dear P. ; The liberal and gentleman-like spirit and the intelli- gence with which your correspondent 'G. B.' [George Barnard of JUSTTN MORGAN 73 Sherbrooke, Canada] pursues the inquiry as to the blood of the great progenitor of the Vermont coach horse, are equally to be admired. "If at any period since the days of Flying Childers (out of Betty Leedes,by the Darley Arabian), foaled in 1715, the opinion had gen- erally obtained that speed and bottom could be had without regard to pedigree, and without systematic recourse to the blood of the turf horse, and that opinion had been acted upon to this day, does any one suppose that we should have witnessed in our time such perform- ances as those of Boston and Fashion and Medoc, and Sarah Bladen and Miss Foote, and a host of others, running four miles un- der 7:40? Or that we should have had such coach horses as those for which we have been indebted to Vermont, descended from the Morgan horse, fine blood bays with black mane and tail, and clean bony legs, able to sail off the wind ten knots an hour and not tire at that? Yes — it does appear that ' G. B.' is of this opinion as to the latter description of horses, and maintains it with so much earnest- ness, fairness and ability as to divest all who take an interest in the subject of every wish except that which obviously animated him — a desire to arrive at the truth. "For myself,! have no hesitation in saying, that, if there be a dis- tinct breed of horses possessing the qualities which he no doubt accu- rately describes as belonging to the descendants of the Morgan horse, which may be perpetuated and preserved from flying to pieces, and yet not necessarily partaking of the pure blood of the turf horse, then, would I say, of the two let go the Arabian blood and hold fast to the more useful stock for all work. But let us be careful that in snatching at the shadow we lose not the substance ! Especially as, where and as far as we can trace the pedigree of great performers in harness, they run into a known strain of pure blood. It will be ob- served that 'G. B.' (with whom, unaffectedly, I pretend to no com- parison as to research or practical knowledge) grants us for the Morgan horse stock 'cleanness of head and limb, and an Arab ex- pression of the countenance.' Here I began to think was ground enough on which to place my fulcrum ; but the ' low withers' and ' heavy shoulders' staggered me; yet I, on reflection, remembered that Lawrence, in his splendid work on the horse, had said of Eclipse, a horse that partook of the blood of the true Arabians : 'He was never beaten, never had a whip flourished over him or felt the tickling of a spur, or was ever for a moment distressed by the speed or rate of a competitor, outfooting, outstriding and outlasting every horse which started against him'. Of this rabbit-shouldered horse 74 THE MORGAN HORSE Lawrence adds : ' I paid particular attention to his shoulders, which, according to the common notion were, in truth, very thick, but very extensive and well-placed ; his hinder quarters or croup appeared higher than his forehand'. The progeny of this low, thick- shouldered horse, who was one inch higher behind than before, pro- duced to their owners $790,295, various prizes not included. "Is it not a mistaken impression thatthe turf horse has generally more daylight under him than any other horse in proportion to height on the withers ? And has hot that impression been made by the fact that race horses, when they most attract notice, are, in racing form, tucked up and much reduced in bulk, making them look more leggy than they really are ? As to the height of the race horses, there is good reason to believe that the true Arabians were none of them over fifteen hands. In a list of sixty-three celebrated turf horses arranged alphabetically, there are but seven over fifteen hands, while there are thirty-one that do not rise above fourteen hands two inches, and ten that are under fourteen hands — so that the number of a list of sixty-three that rise above fifteen hands is not so great by about one-third as that of the celebrated turf horses under fourteen hands. "But to the pedigree of the dam of the Morgan horse, which in truth was all that I meant to give when I put pen to paper. I hap- pened to anticipate your intelligent and respectable correspondent 'G. B.' in his wish to procure some information about the dam — our hobby — and in answer to a letter which I took the liberty to address to Mr. John Morgan of Lima, New York, he sent me the following memorandum : " 'Dam of the Morgan Horse was sired by a horse called Diamond. Dia- mond was sired by a horse called Wild Deer (Wildair). Wild Deer was sired by the old imported horse Wild Deer and out of an imported mare of the same breed. Wild Deer was sold and taken into Virginia when about nine- teen years old\ "Now, Mr. Editor, consider that these pedigrees, embracing the names, at least, however confused the connection, of True Briton, which was also a horse got by imported Othello ; also the name of imported Traveler — that the sire, True Briton, belonged to Gen. De Lancey, importer of Wildair himself, a star of no mean luster ; and that now the dam, according to the recollection of these gentlemen not of a race-horse region, was by a horse got by Wildair, and he out of an imported mare by imported Wildair, and I leave you to say whether the evidence does not at present preponderate in favor of the opinion that there was a heavy dash of the pure blood in the veins of the Morgan horse. Consider the time that elapsed, and that JUSTIN MORGAN 75 those from whom the evidence is derived have not been of those whose habits of life led them to make records of pedigrees, and to this accumulating testimony add the admitted ' cleanness of head and limb, and Arab expression of countenance', so characteristic of turf cattle, and is there any violence in the presumption that he had in him even more of the ' blood stock' than we have so far been able to prove ; and that is all that I have contended for — or rather that I have conjectured as being the fact. J. S. S". We have quoted this letter almost entire on account of its high authority, and the pertinence and force of its suggestions. But it is to the communication from John Morgan, which we have put in italics, that we call attention more directly in this connection. Wildair and Wild Deer were used interchangeably, as appears by the above letter and by the letter of J. Fenimore Cooper, elsewhere quoted. Over three years later, in the " Albany Cultivator" for January, 1846, appeared a communication from Frederick A. Weir of Walpole, New Hampshire, all of which that pertains to the origin of the Mor- gan horse is here given: " For the last fifteen years my business has called me frequently into almost all parts of Vermont, and I have been led to make very particular and extensive inquiries into the history of the Morgan horse. Although there are six or eight, or more, different stories in circulation in relation to his origin, and several of them attempted to be supported by affidavit, yet I perfectly agree with you, that the ac- count given by Justin Morgan's son, Justin Morgan, 2d, who is a mer- chant now in business at Stockbridge, Vermont, and a gentleman of intelligence and standing, extended and confirmed by that of Mr. John Morgan, is the only one entitled to belief. From my correspondence with Justin and John Morgan, and others, I am enabled to state the pedigree, on both sides, of the Morgan horse. "He was foaled in 1793, was sired by True Briton, or Beautiful Bay, owned by Selah Norton of East Hartford, Connecticut, and then kept by John Morgan, at West Springfield, Massachusetts. True Briton was sired by the imported horse Traveler. The dam of the Justin Morgan horse, at the time he was sired, was owned by Justin Morgan himself, at Springfield, Massachusetts, where he then lived. The dam is described by Mr. John Morgan, who knew her, as of the Wildair breed, of middling size, with a heavy chest, of a very light bay color, with a bushy mane and tail, the hair on the legs rather long ; and a smooth, handsome traveler. She was sired by Diamond^ 76 THE MORGAN HORSE a thick, heavy horse of about middling size, with a thick, heavy mane and tail, hairy legs, and a smooth traveler. Diamond was kept by Justin Morgan himself, at the time the dam of the Justin Morgan horse was sired. He was raised in East Hartford, Connecticut. His sire was the Wildair, known as the Church horse. His dam was the noted imported mare Wildair, owned by Capt. Samuel Burt of Springfield, Massachusetts. The Church horse was sired by the horse Wildair, imported by DeLancey of Long Island, and, as it was said, was afterwards taken back to England. Mr. John Morgan des- cribes True Briton as being a high-headed and hollow or sway-backed horse, and his stock was of such description ; and states that the Wildairs also were generally so". Thirteen months later, under date of February 27, 1847, Justin Morgan, 2d, wrote to the "Albany Cultivator", as follows: " There seem to be some persons who still continue to suppose that there was French-Canadian blood in the original horse which belonged to my father, Justin Morgan, and from which the excellent stock of Morgan horses sprung; while no one who has attended to the clear proofs to the contrary, which have from time to time ap- peared in your valuable journal, can now justly entertain any such notion. In the fall of 1795, my father brought the horse, then a two- year-old colt, from Springfield, Massachusetts, to Randolph, Ver- mont. Mr. John Morgan of Lima, New York, who, though of the same name, is but a distant relative of my father's family, then lived, as I have been informed, in Springfield, and had every opportunity, as I believe, of knowing the truth in relation to the horse. Mr. Morgan says he was not only well acquainted with my father's horse, but also with the sire of that horse, True Briton or Beautiful Bay; and he states that he (Mr. J. M.) kept the latter horse at the time my father's colt was begotten by him. He says, also, that he was acquainted with Traveler, Diamond and Wildair, and, at the time, knew them to be English blood horses. Mr. John Morgan says that, however much may have been said relative to my father having brought the horse from Canada, he knows that it was not so. His means of knowledge and the respectability of his character entitle his statements to the fullest credit. The fact that my father died about two and a half years after he brought the colt into Randolph, his children all being young, and the horse having been sold out of the family very soon after my father's decease, may account for his pedigree not being better understood. I have a perfect recollection of the horse when my father owned him and afterwards, and have always lived where JUSTIN MORGAN 77 his stock is well known, and well remember that my father always spoke of him as a horse of the best blood". Some time between the date of this letter and the publication of Mr. Linsley's work, in 1857, Robbins Battell of Norfolk, Connecticut, discovered in the "Connecticut Courant" of May 8, 1791, the follow- ing advertisement, and furnished a copy to Mr. Linsley: "BEAUTIFUL BAY will cover at my stable (for the benefit of the public) at fifteen shillings the season, cash or grain next fall, and nine shillings the leap, pay down. His sire was the imported horse Trav- eler, owned in New Jersey. His dam, DeLancey's imported racer. Ten pounds was offered for one of his colts, at ten days old, at Lanes- borough, and it is affirmed that he sired sixteen colts in one day, at Springfield. He is in his prime, in fine order, bright bay, fifteen hands high, trots and canters very light ; the price is low and so is the price of shipping horses ; one thing ought to be in proportion to another. SELAH NORTON. East Hartford, April 26, 1791." This was followed by the announcement in the same paper, June 6, 1791 : "Beautiful Bay will not cover at East Hartford this season". Mr. Linsley, who had not seen the Fishkill account, in 1870, of the capture of the horse, inserting this advertisement, says : " In the above advertisement, it is stated that he had been kept at Springfield, which corroborates the statement of John Morgan. "The fact that True Briton was stolen from General DeLancey at King's Bridge seems to admit of little doubt, for the story is con- firmed by many persons living in Connecticut, who well recollect the occurrence, and we have never heard but one version of the story in all its main features, though told by many different individuals. The striking harmony that may be noticed between these accounts of the manner in which True Briton was brought into Connecticut is very strong evidence of their correctness ; and the harmony is itself ac- counted for by the singular manner in which he was obtained. Such a fact as the stealing of a valuable horse from a British officer, and escaping with him, was no every-day occurrence. It would be known to all the surrounding country in a very short time, and the man who stole him, instead of being shunned as a thief, would be respected as the hero of a successful foray into the enemy's country. The fact that the horse was a valuable one, and was, after a time, kept for a stock horse in that section of the country, would tend to keep alive in the minds of those who knew him the singular circum- stances of his coming into the country. Although Mr. John Mor- 78 THE MORGAN HORSE gan does not assert that True Briton, or Beautiful Bay, was sired by Traveler, yet it is plain that he believed him to be ; and Mr. Norton, in the advertisement just quoted, distinctly states it. "Selah Norton was, in early life, a man of property and an enthu- siastic admirer of fine horses. His interest in the horse would have prompted him to make every exertion to discover his pedigree, and that he did so seems evident from the direct manner in which it is stated in the advertisement before mentioned, and also from the ad- ditional consideration that such was generally believed to be the fact at that time, and, so far as we can learn, was entirely undisputed." Mr. Linsley proceeds, page 122, to quote from the "Sixth Cata- logue of Domestic Animals" by L. G. Morris, Esq., of Fordham, New York, page 79, where Mr. Morris, after giving an extract from John Morgan's letter, says: "The other account I got in person from Mr. Andrew Corsa, a neighbor of mine, and ninety years old. Mr. Corsa resided within the lines and near King's Bridge during the Revolution ; he knew General DeLancey well, and also his horse which Smith stole from him at King's Bridge. Upon direct inquiry of Mr. Corsa, up- on whom I called with Mr. Howard, of the "Boston Cultivator", expressly to inquire as to the above horse, he stated he was blood bay, of fine size and strength, and he had repeatedly seen General DeLancey jump him back and forth over a five-rail fence, for the amusement of by-standers ; and that he understood him to have been a horse sent over from England", Upon this Mr. Linsley remarks, page 123: "The only respect in which this account differs from the one we have given, is that Mr. Corsa says he understood him to be a horse sent over from England. It seems Mr. Corsa was ninety years old at the time he gave this in- formation, and, in estimating the value of his testimony, much al- lowance must be made for the infirmities of age, and the long time that had elapsed since the events of which he speaks transpired. So the nature of the different facts he states must be considered ; for while the fact that a fine-looking bay horse should be made to jump a five-rail fence in the presence of a collection of people, would be likely from its novelty and interest to make a lasting impression on all who saw it ; yet few of the spectators, if informed of the pedigree of the horse at the time, would long remember it". Mr. Linsley also states, page 116: "Mr. David Goss, a man of high standing and character, who owned the original Justin Morgan seven years, says there is no doubt that the horse came from Spring- field, Massachusetts. Mr. Goss further says that he had no written JUSTIN MORGAN 79 pedigree of the horse, but that he bought him believing him to be partly thoroughbred, and that no question was ever made of it, so far as he knew, during the lifetime of the horse". This statement, that he was " partly thoroughbred ", is strictly cor- rect, although the larger part of his blood was thoroughbred. But his second dam is not certainly traced, and nothing is known of the dam of Diamond, sire of the dam of the Justin Morgan. We have now given all the evidence that Mr. Linsley appears to have had before him, in the preparation of his work, bearing upon the question of the identity and breeding of the sire of the Justin Morgan horse. And he did not have the advertisement of Diamond, given above, and it is evident that he had not seen the letter of Mr. Skin- ner, and was unaware of the communication of John Morgan to him therein contained. These, however, both refer to the breeding of the dam rather than of the sire. Mr. Linsley was doubly misled as to the period when Justin Morgan had the horse by adopting the dates erroneously given by Justin Morgan, 2d, in his "Cultivator" letters. Adopting those dates, he supposed that Mr. Morgan had the horse from the fall of 1/95 to the time of his own death, March 22, 1798, while the horse was from two to five years old. Mr. Linsley did not know that Mr. Morgan had the horse and advertised him for stock the seasons of 1793, 1794 and 1795, and disposed of him before the next stud season, then six years old past, at least two years before his own death. It will be noted that one of Mr. Linsley's errors of date tended to correct the other ; and although it would seem that a little reflection would have shown him that no horse of the aee he o stated, and in the limited time he allowed, could possibly have done the work and performed the feats which he attributes to the horse while owned by Justin Morgan ; yet the advertisements, records and other evidence which prove the error had not been brought to his notice. His conclusions, which are the logical results of such evi- dence as was before him, are here given in his own language (" Mor- gan Horses", pages 116-119) : "The letters of Justin and John Morgan comprise all the im- portant facts that can now be obtained in relation to the place where the horse originated ; and we can see no reason to doubt that he was sired by True Briton, as is clearly and distinctly stated by Mr. John Morgan. No account of the pedigree of the horse was reduced to writing during the lifetime of Mr. Justin Morgan, and the accounts he gave verbally have been remembered somewhat differently by different individuals. All accounts, as before remarked, agree that he had 8o THE MORGAN HORSE racing blood in his veins ; some insist that it came from the sire, some that it came from the dam, and still others that it came from both. Now, if we had no evidence, except what is derived from the descrip- tions given of him and from his stock, we should know that he was not a stranger to blood. His clean, lean head, his broad forehead, bold, full and prominent eyes, delicate ears, and flat strong legs, give unmistakable evidence of a large infusion of racing or Arabian blood. Youatt says : ' Few things indicate more clearly the blood of the horse than the form of the frontal bones. Who has not re- marked the broad, angular forehead of the blood-horse, giving him a beautiful expression of intelligence and fire, and the face gradually tapering from the forehead to the muzzle, contrasted with the large face of the cart or dray horse, and the forehead scarcely wider than the face'? It is equally true that his exceedingly compact form, short and upright pasterns, his short stride, and the small space between the hip bones and ribs, assure us of a different origin in part. "With regard to his sire, we think there can be no reasonable doubt that he was sired by True Briton, as John Morgan positively states. The fact that Mr. Morgan kept True Briton two years adds great weight to his testimony, for it not only shows that he had the best means of knowing the facts he states, but his interest in the horse would fully account for his remembering them distinctly so long a time. But with regard to the blood of True Briton, Mr. Mor- gan does not state positively, though he is not in doubt as to the fact of the horse having been purchased by Mr. Joseph Ward of Hart- ford, Connecticut, for three hundred dollars, of some person who was said to have stolen him from Gen. DeLancey. "The letter of John Morgan seems to us conclusive evidence with regard to the sire of the Justin Morgan. John Morgan was a man of high character for candor, truthfulness and intelligence. He lived at Springfield at the time the Morgan horse was sired, and at the time Justin Morgan removed to Vermont. He kept True Briton, or Beautiful Bay, two years, and he states that Justin Morgan kept him one year. Living on the ground and being interested in the sire of the Morgan horse, he had every means of knowledge. His letter contains within itself evidence of the care and caution of John Mor- gan. When he speaks of facts known to himself, he states them pos- itively ; as that he was sired by True Briton, or Beautiful Bay, owned by Selah Norton of Hartford, Connecticut; that he was kept at Springfield one season by Justin Morgan, and two years afterwards was kept two seasons by himself. When he comes to speak of the JUSTIN MORGAN 81 origin of True Briton he does not say that he was raised by Gen. De Lancey, though he no doubt believed so, but with commendable cau- tion he says : 'He (True Briton) was said to be raised by Gen. DeLan- cey, commander of the refugee troops on Long Island, and ridden by him in the Revolution. It is said that one Smith stole the horse from the general at King's Bridge, while the general was in the tavern, ran him across the bridge and took him to the American army, near White Plains, and sold him to Joseph Ward of Hartford, Connecti- cut. It was said at that time that he was sired by the noted imported horse called the Traveler, said to be kept in New Jersey'. Again, when he comes to speak of Ward, he says positively that Ward was a merchant and kept the horse three or four years for a saddle and carriage horse, and traded him off to Norton, etc., for these facts were within his own knowledge and he was certain. Again, when he comes to speak of what became of the colt, we observe the same cau- tion. He says: T have always understood that Morgan kept the colt for a stud at Randolph, and was very celebrated for his stock'. The considerate reader of this letter will not fail to see that it con- tains the strongest evidence of the honesty and sincerity of John Morgan, and that it shows (which is nearly as valuable in such a matter) that John Morgan thoughtfully and carefully distinguished between what he had a personal knowledge of, and what he believed on the statements of others. If all inquirers on this subject had used the same care, much error would have been avoided." The error in dates did not prevent Mr. Linsley from arriving at a logical as well as a correct conclusion as to the sire ; but he stum- bles badly over this provoking mistake when he comes to the dam, as follows (page 125) : " With regard to the pedigree of the dam of the Justin Morgan, the only statement we remember to have seen is that published by F. A. Weir, as we have already given it. If this pedigree is correct, the dam must have been at least three-eighths thoroughbred. But there is a grave mistake in the very first sentence of the account pub- lished by Mr. Weir, that very materially diminishes the credit that might, perhaps, otherwise attach to the rest of the history. He says: 'The dam of the Justin Morgan horse, at the time he was sired, was owned by Justin Morgan himself at Springfield, Massa- chusetts, where he then lived;' and he says (as was no doubt true) that he was foaled in 1793, consequently he was sired in 1792 ; but Mr. Morgan, as we have already shown, removed from Springfield to Randolph, Vermont, with his family in 1788, and remained constantly 82 THE MORGAN HORSE at Randolph until 1793 ; and as he was a poor man and owned no real estate in Springfield, it is not likely that he owned and left any horses there." It was Mr. Linsley, following Justin Morgan, 2d, who was sub- ject to the " grave mistake", instead of Mr. Weir. It is quite prob- able that had the " Albany Cultivator" published in full the letter of John Morgan the error in dates would have been corrected at that time. Right here let us settle the question, who was the DeLancey that bred and lost True Briton? The following letter written to the "Spirit of the Times", in 1843, by the distinguished horseman, Ben- jamin O. Tayloe of Virginia, over his nom de plume, " Observer," is given in full. The information, as will be seen, comes from the famous novelist, J. Fenimore Cooper, whose wife was a daughter of Col. James DeLancey's youngest brother : "Mr. J. S. Skinner has complimented the undersigned by a ref- erence to him as a testimonial of his usual accuracy in details of this nature. The following remarks by J. Fenimore Cooper, Esq., in justice to him, as well as to the subject, I copy in extenso, not doubting the correctness of Mr. Cooper's narrative in any one* par- ticular. Its extraordinary detail, and being, too, from the pen of the distinguished author, sheds interest upon a subject that would other- wise be uninviting. "In Mr. Skinner's treatise on 'The Horse', prefacing the Amer- ican edition of Youatt, Wildair is mentioned as having 'been im- ported by Gen. DeLancey'. 'This', says Mr. Cooper, 'is a mistake. Wildair was imported by James DeLancey, the gentleman who is the head of the family, inheriting the estate of his father, Gov. DeLan- cey. There were two Gen. De Lanceys, father and son, and both named Oliver. The father died in 1877, in command of the British troops then in occupation of Long Island, his rank being that of brigadier. The son lived to be a full general, dying within the last twenty-five years. At his death he must have been one of the oldest generals in the British army. This Gen. De Lancey was a cavalry officer, commanding the Seventeenth Light Dragoons some forty years. He succeeded Andre as adjutant-general of the British army. It has probably been owing to the cavalry propensities of this gen- tleman that you have been led into the error. "'The De Lancey family had three branches, descended from brothers, the sons of the Huguenot. The New York branch was the oldest The Oliver branch, as it was called, was the next, and the JUSTIN MORGAN 83 Westchester branch, descended from Peter DeLancey, by a daughter of Governor Golden, was the youngest. James DeLancey, the owner of Wildair, was the head of the oldest or New York branch. John Peter DeLancey, my wife's father, was his youngest brother. I have often heard my late father-in-law relate the history of Wildair. You probably know that the horse was repurchased in consequence of his stock's proving so good, and was taken back to England ; probably the only instance of such an occurrence in our history. The price paid was five hundred pounds, but whether it was currency or sterling, I cannot say. The difference was just half, you will see. " 'James DeLancey was the nephew of the first Gen. DeLancey and the cousin of the second. The Oliver branch is now extinct, the last man in it having been killed at Waterloo, in the person of Sir William H. DeLancey, Wellington's quartermaster-general. UiThe New York or James branch has now but one man left in Europe, James, the present head of this family, lately lieutenant- colonel of the First Dragoon Guards; is a bachelor, a nephew of my wife. A young gentleman stands next, and the bishop third. His nephew, the bishop, and the latter's two sons are all the males left of this branch, which was never numerous. All the rest of the DeLanceys belong to the Westchester branch, which has been numer- ous. The late Gen. Izard's mother was of this branch, as were divers other women. The Col. Oliver DeLancey, who was killed in Spain some ten years since, as Sir DeLacy Evans' adjutant-general, was a son of an illegitimate son of James, the Wildair man. But there have been a dozen Colonels DeLancey, three or four of whom were named Oliver. I do not apologize for all this genealogy, as the man who imported so fine an animal as Wildair ought not to be robbed of the honor. " ' James DeLancey, that man, served when young, rising to be a captain, and he was an aid to Abercrombie when the latter was commander-in-chief in this country. At the death of his father, in 1760, he sold out and married a Miss Allen of Allentown, Pennsyl- vania. He was a man of very large estate, 9ne of the largest in the Colonies, and married a woman of some fortune. He was indolent, but liberal, and disposed to do liberal things. Both he and his father had been educated at Oxford, and having many high connections in England, he got the sporting habit of that country. It was owing to tastes thus acquired that he brought over Wildair. " ' The breed is still known among us by the name of Wild Deer. That, however, is among genuine New Yorkers'. 84 THE MORGAN HORSE "Thus it would seem by Mr. Cooper's account that, superadded to our 'terribly high-bred cattle' we have among us, of the 'genus homo,' very high blood and ' game blood' too, that, as an American, I feel confident will show itself whenever the occasion requires, with as much truth as the fashion of the day. OBSERVER". This settles these facts : The importer of Wildair was James De Lancey, eldest son of Lieutenant-Governor James DeLancey, who died in 1760, leaving his large eatate to his son. Not he, but his uncle, Oliver, was the General DeLancey that was in command on Long Island. This second James DeLancey, when young, served under Abercrombie, which must have been from 1756 to 1758, the only years when Abercrombie was in command in this country ; he was married in 1760, and imported Wildair and the Cub mare in 1764; and it was he who lost True Briton. In an article by John Austin Stevens, in the "New York Sun", entitled "Early New York Racing History", are found the following statements : "The DeLancey arms hung on a sign at the old tavern door. Gay blades the DeLancey's were in the last century. Their blood was not spoiled in the mixture of the old French vivacity of the first Huguenot refugee with the staid stock of the VanCortlandts. For half a century, till the breaking out of the Revolution, they had full swing in the city of New York. Inter-married with nearly all the leading families, they had contrived among them to hold about all the important posts in the colony, and nothing loosened their tenacious hold but the grand cataclysm which broke up everything. Then, as high church people, they had bishop as well as king at their backs. The youths had all made their educational or visiting trips to Eng- land, and certainly learned no better morals than those they left behind them. * * * The DeLanceys were a handsome race, also, and pow- erful, stalwart men. As a family they were noted as the head of the racing society of the continent, and it is doubtful whether there is any stable in this country to-day that can be compared, in extent and variety, with that of James DeLancey, at the height of its success and fame. His estate, with his house, gardens, carriage-house and stables, fronted on the Bowery from Bullock, (now Broome), street to a point between Stanton and Rivington streets, and extended back to New Orchard and Bayard streets; beyond were his orchards and cultivated fields. South of Bullock street to Chatham Square his property was laid out in streets and lots, and leased on long terms. On First street (now Chrystie) were his running-stables, and on Second street (now Forsyth) was the paddock belonging to his running-sta- JUSTIN MORGAN 85 ble, together covering three blocks, as now laid out. On the farm behind the grounds was a small half-mile training course for his own horses. Lewis Morris, Jr., has been named as the winner of prizes ; his horses took many a cup in well contested fields. Later he won higher fame as one of the delegates to the Continental Con- gress, and his name goes down to history as one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The broad manor of this family is now known as the village of Morrisania. For years these two pow- erful families had struggled for the mastery of the colony. The Morris connection was all whig; the DeLanceys all held to the crown ; in the subsequent struggle both had the courage of their opinions. The DeLancey estates were confiscated at the peace ; the Morris family received positions of honor and trust, the just reward of their patriotism. The British government did not forget the gallant DeLanceys, who had served them so faithfully and so long. Of the other gentlemen of note in the racing field were Colonel Anthony Rutgers of New York; Michael Kearney of New Jersey, an Irish- man by birth, who came to the colonies early in the eighteenth century, and, marrying a daughter of Louis Morris, the first governor of New Jersey, founded the family of the name rendered illustrious in the annals of our own time by the gallant Phil. There is no use in denying it, blood will tell in men as in horses. As the great modern observer, Taine, forcibly puts it: 'Man is an animal by nature and by structure, and neither nature nor structure ever loses a single fold'. Another of the great racing characters was Dr. Hamilton of New Jersey. He is found among the owners of the best and most success- ful stock. In the Middle and Southern States, the same passion pre- vailed, and the New York gentlemen were not loth to meet the sports- men of Maryland and Virginia on their own ground, and brought home many a rich prize. The years 1 767, 1 768 and 1 769, were famous ; then a year or two followed of comparative quiet, owing to the dis- turbed state of the colonies, and the general depression caused by the renewal of the non-importation agreements. In October, 1769., James DeLancey's famous horse, Lath, brought home the one hundred pound purse, beating with ease, in three straight heats, the Irish horse, Northumberland, belonging to Dr. Tidmarsh, and Mr. Mc- Gill's bay horse, Nonpareil. This race was run over the old Centre course, at Philadelphia. In May, I773> Captain DeLancey's bay mare, Sultana, carried off the Whim purse of fifty pounds, run for at Philadelphia, beating Colonel Lloyd's bay horse, Slow-and-Easy, and Mr. Patterson's Gimcrack ; and the day following his mare Slamerkin took off the city purse of fifty pounds from horses of the same sta- 86 THE MORGAN HORSE. bles; and again, the next year, the Jockey Club plate of one hun- dred pounds was won by James DeLancey's black horse, Auction- eer. Space does not admit of a record of the triumphs of Lewis Morris' celebrated mare, Strumpet, or of his American Childers. In October, 17/3, a subscription was entered into by the gentlemen of Virginia, Maryland and New York, when the Southerners proposed to bring on their horses to the May meeting on the New Market course. Governor Eden of Maryland, engaged to attend with Young Bosphorus, Babraham, and Why Not; Mr. Fauntleroy, with Miss Sprightly and Yorick ; Mr. George Baylor, with his colt by Fear- naught, which had first beaten Colonel Lloyd's Young Traveler and Whirligig, of the blood of Firetail, which sold, in 1773, for ten thou- sand pounds, to the celebrated Charles Fox and two of his peers of the British senate. " Against these James DeLancey promised his bay horse Bashaw and his colt Matchem ; Captain Rutgers, his famous Macaroni ; Cap- tain Heard, his bay mare, by Snap ; Mr. Waters, his King Herod, and Mr. Cornell, his Steady; but this meeting does not seem to have been had. "The name of James DeLancey's intimate friend, Dulany of Maryland, does not appear in this list of southern sportsmen. A man of wealth and importance, his stables were as large as any in that colony. It is of tradition that, after one of the Maryland race meetings, he made a match with DeLancey between their respective horses for a struck half bushel of Spanish dollars, which Dulany won. The struck half-bushel of coin was an ingenious manner of equal- izing the different currencies. The trouble in this regard is curiously instanced in the refusal of the Marylanclers to stake their money against the Virginia currency at the Leedstown course, on the Poto- mac, in 1773, the Virginia paper having been counterfeited in a manner unparalleled. Of the great races of the last century, that which excited most interest over the whole continent was the match between Selim and True Briton, in April, 1765, over the Philadel- phia course. The stakes were the unusually large sum of one thou- sand pounds. Waters, the owner of True Briton, had challenged the continent to a trial of speed in 1763. The hot headed, eccentric lover of the turf, Leary, answered Waters with an offer to run the unborn foals of their respective animals. Leary had, in some mysterious manner, become possessed of the famous imported stallion, Old England, but there had been no answer to Waters' challenge till Selim's owners took up the glove. Selim carried off the purse. True Briton won JUSTIN MORGAN 87 the first heat by half a neck only, but was hurt in a boggy part of the track in the second heat, and was drawn. The odds at the start- ing had been three to one on Briton. Such are the chances on rac- ing fortune. " There was another True Briton owned by the DeLanceys, whose history is remarkable. He was the favorite horse of James DeLancey, who took part with the crown in the Revolutionary strug- gle, became colonel of a royal regiment, and chief of the famous cowboys, who ravaged Westchester. Brought up in the country himself, DeLancey knew all the ins and outs, highways and byways of the country around. Devotedly attached to his mother, who resided on the old homestead, at West Farms, he was wont to visit her when- ever an opportunity offered. "On one occasion he tied his horse to the gate, and, depending on the watchfulness of his orderlies, was paying his customary visit, when some skinners, as the patriot farmers were called, took advan- tage of the carelessness of the guard, and stole the horse. DeLan- cey heard the hoofs, and raising the neighborhood, made hot and long pursuit, but there was no catching the gallant beast. He was taken across the line into Connecticut, and is said to have been the sire of the famous Morgan stock. Andrew Corsa, the last of the guides of the American army, related of True Briton that he had repeatedly seen Colonel DeLancey jump him back and forth over a five rail fence. "In 1768 the hitherto terrific Selim, as he is called, came to grief in a contest with Dr. Hamilton's English horse, Figure, for a one thousand pound purse, over the course at Upper Marlborough, near Newburg, on the Hudson. Another famous match for one thousand pounds a side was run at Charleston, in South Carolina, in April, 1768, by Mr. Lynch's native-born Noble, esteemed the Flying Childers of the South, and Centinel, a horse which had belonged to the Duke of Lancaster's stud. The foreigners, as the accounts report, after very severe struggles, at length proved victorious. The match was de- cided in two four-mile heats, which afforded more sport than all the contests ever seen in Carolina. As the struggle between the mother country and the colonies grew imminent, and the country suffered from the interruption of trade, a feeling grew up against racing, which found expression in the eighth article of association, adopted by the first Continental Congress, in 1774. The several delegates engaged for themselves and their constituents that they would in 88 THE MORGAN HORSE their several stations encourage frugality, economy and industry, and promote agriculture, arts, and the manufactures of the country, and that they would discountenance and discourage every species of extravagance and dissipation, especially all horse racing and all kinds of gaming, cock-fighting, exhibitions of shows, plays, and other ex- pensive diversions and entertainments. In obedience to this call the jockey club of Annapolis set the patriotic example of abandoning their November races. An attempt to enforce a bet for a trial over the Rye course, which the loser refused to pay, shows the feeling of the people. A jury was demanded, but the men declined to sit upon the case, preferring to go to jail rather than serve in a case contrary to the association of congress. "In the fall of 1775, James DeLancey sold out his stud, or such parts as still remained to him, from the house of John Fowler, who kept the tavern in Bowery lane, near the tea-water pump. All of the importations by the Americans were of first-class stock, the strains of the Godolphin Arabian and Bald Galloway being preferred for their speed and staying qualities. DeLancey's Wildair, Lath and Hero were sires of long and illustrious lines, while Roper Dawson's Tele- machus, Williams' Eclipse, and Kearney's Ferdinand were no less esteemed by lovers of fine horses. The papers were full of the ad- vertisements of these animals " to cover" and contain careful state- ments of their long lines of ancestry. The prices for a season seem to have ranged from two to five guineas, with an additional sum for warrants. DeLancey's Lath was a great favorite among breeders. He gave no warranty, but is said to have rarely missed a foal". In Lossing's " Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution", vol. II, page 624, is the following note : " One of the earliest, most influential and efficient of the loyalist leaders was Oliver DeLancey, who, with his son, Oliver, and nephew, James, performed active service for the king in lower Westchester. He was a brother of Chief Justice (also Lieutenant Governor) DeLan- cey, and was a man of large property and great influence. He was a member of the king's council before the Revolution, and at the beginning of hostilities leaned rather to the popular side. Depre- cating a separation from Britain, he espoused the royal cause after the Declaration of Independence went forth. He was commissioned a brigadier and authorized to raise three battalions of loyalists. This he finally effected. His son, Oliver, was commissioned a cap- tain of horse in 1776; was present at the capture of Gen. Wood- hull ; became major of the Seventh regiment of dragoons ; and after JUSTIN MORGAN 89 Major Andre's death, was appointed adjutant-general, with the com- mission of lieutenant-colonel. At the close of the war, General De- Lancey went to England, was elected a member of parliament, and died at Beverly in 1785, at the age of sixty-eight years. His son, Oliver, accompanied him, and rose gradually to the rank of major general. At the time of his death he was almost at the head of the British army list. James, a nephew of General DeLancey, com- manded a battalion of horse in his uncle's brigade. Because of his activity in supplying the British army with cattle from the farms of Westchester, his troopers were called cowboys. " Many attempts were made to destroy, or disperse, the DeLan- cey loyalists. On the 25th of January, 1777, some Americans at- tacked a block-house erected by DeLancey on the site of Mapes's Temperance House, at West Farms. Several of the guard were wounded, but none were killed or made prisoners. In the winter of 1779, Col. Aaron Burr, with some Americans, attacked the block- house, to destroy it. Provided with hand grenades, combustibles and short ladders, about forty volunteers approached cautiously, at two o'clock in the morning, and cast their missiles into the fort, through the port holes. Soon the block-house was on fire in several places, and the little garrison surrendered without firing a shot. A few es- caped. A corps of De Lancey's battalion occupied the house of Col. Lewis G. Morris, at Morrisania, for a short time. They were attacked there on the 5th of August, 1779, by some of Weedon's and Moy- lan's horse, a detachment from Glover's brigade, and some militia. Fourteen loyalists were made prisoners. These attacks becoming frequent, DeLancey was compelled to make his headquarters at the house now owned by Mr. Samuel Archer, in the vicinity of High Bridge, where he was under the guns of Fort No. 8, one of the re- doubts cast up by the British to cover the landing of their troops, on the morning of the attack upon Fort Washington. Near the entrance to Mr. Archer's mansion was a building where Col. Hatfield had his quarters in January, 1780, when he was attacked by some levies and volunteers from Horseneck and Greenwich. The assault was made at one o'clock in the morning. Unable to dislodge the enemy, the assailants fired the house. Some escaped after leaping from the windows ; the colonel and eleven others were made prisoners. " In May, 1780, Captain Cushing of the Massachusetts line, guided by Michael Dyckman, surprised Col. James DeLancey's corps, near No. 8. He captured over forty of the corps; the colonel was absent. Cushing retreated, followed some distance by a large num- ber of yagers and others. In January, 1781, Lieutenant-Colonel 90 THE MORGAN HORSE William Hull fGen. Hull of the war of 1812), who was in command of a detachment of troops in advance of the American lines, suc- cessfully attacked Col. Oliver DeLancey at Morrisania, with three hundred and fifty men. Hull surrounded the loyalists, forced a nar- row passage to their camp, took more than fifty prisoners, cut away the bridge, burned several huts and a quantity of stores, and retreated to camp, closely pursued. A covering party, under Col. Hazen, at- tacked the pursuers and killed, and captured about thirty-five more. Hull lost twenty-six men in killed and wounded. "At sun-rise on the fourth of March, 1782, Captain Hunneywell and a body of cavalry, having a covering party of infantry under Major Woodbridge, entered DeLancey's camp at Morrisania, dis- persed the loyalists, and killed and wounded several. Others in the neighborhood were collected, and pursued Hunneywell, when they fell into an ambush formed by Woodbridge, and were driven back. In this skirmish Abraham Dyckman was killed. "The ancestor of the American DeLanceys (De Lanci) was Estienne, or Stephen, a Huguenot, who came to New York in 1681. He was descended from a noble French family, known in history in the sixteenth century. He married Ann VanCortlandt and became active in public affairs. The chief justice and the general were his sons. Another son, James, married a daughter of Caleb Heathcote, lord of the manor of Scarsdale. James's third son was the father of William Heathcote DeLancey, D.D., the present Protestant bishop of the diocese of western New York. "The seat of Gen. Oliver DeLancey was upon the Bronx, oppo- site the village of West Farms, three miles from the mouth of that stream. There he had extensive mills, which are now the property of Mr. Philip M. Lydig. The old mansion, where British officers were so often entertained, was destroyed by fire several years ago. He owned another residence on York Island, which was burned on the night of the twenty-fifth of November, 1777. It is supposed to have been fired by some daring whigs, in retaliation for the burning of some houses in the vicinity of Yonkers by the tories." In this connection we desire to call attention to certain informa- tion sent us by Judge Charles J. McCurdy of Lyme, Connecticut, one of the leading citizens, and now over ninety years old. In his letter to us, dated July 3, 1886, he calls attention to his communica- tion to the "American Cultivator" of February 8, 1885, of which he encloses a copy. And in speaking of DeLancey's Wildair, he pro- ceeds as follows : JUSTIN MORGAN 91 " He was the most remarkable horse that had been imported in his day; and I doubt whether his superior has ever been brought over at any time since. The biographers of the Justin Morgan should give as full an account as possible of the DeLancey Wildair. When President Jefferson went to the capitol to be inaugurated, and threw the bridle reins over the post, he rode, as his granddaughter says, 'his magnificent Wildair'. That name was taken from the principal character in a play popular in London about the year 1750. "Col. DeLancey was a very active loyalist, commanding a regi- ment of that character, and as such was especially obnoxious to patriot Americans He was taken prisoner in 1777 and confined in the Hartford jail. From his prison window he might doubtless have seen in the streets of that city specimens of his superb colts. Neither party then supposed that he would ever be accounted as one of the greatest of New England's benefactors. He was of a French family, now and always eminent in this country and abroad. A nephew of his was an aide of the Duke of Wellington and was killed at Water- loo*. Col. DeLancey himself died in exile, but he left behind him his incomparable stock. It might well be said of him, as of Homer's Diomedes, ' he was a lover of horses'". In the enclosure, clipped from the "American Cultivator", Judge McCurdy says : "Some years ago I learned that my grandfather, John McCurdy, a wealthy and public-spirited man, living in the place which I have inherited, owned and advertised for public use a horse of the famous Wildair blood, and that the notice of him was con- tained in a colonial newspaper. I inquired of my father if he knew anything on the subject. He said that, although he was a boy at the time, yet the horse himself, as well as his stock, was so remarkable that he remembered much about him, and he showed the freshness of his recollection by relating a curious and amusing anecdote. Ac- cording to that story, the horse must have been kept there until the year 1777. How much longer I do not know; he does not appear in my grandfather's inventory in 1784. In reply to my question, what became of the horse? my father said he could tell nothing ex- cept that he was sold to a man living in East Haddam, Connecticut, * This was Col. Sir William DeLancey, who married the beautiful daughter of Sir James Hall in April, 1815, and received his mortal wound on the eighteenth of June following. He was a friend of Sir Walter Scott, who commemorated him in a couplet in his poem " The Field of Waterloo " : Thou saw'st in seas of gore expire Redoubted Picton's soul of fire — Saw'st in the mingled carnage lie All that ot Ponsonby could die — DeLancev changed Love's bridal-wreath For laurels from the hand of Death — " 92 THE MORGAN HORSE and was kept there for breeding purposes". The adver- tisement, which Judge McCurdy found in the Watkinson library, at Hartford, in the "New London Gazette" of May 7, 1773, is here given in full : "To Cover this Season — The bay horse, Young Wildaire, the property of Mr. John McCurdy, of Lyme, at nine shillings a leap and twenty shillings for the season. This horse is new broke, and like all the old Wildaire's colts, proves to be a horse of great strength, speed and activity, and as likely to alter our breed for the better as any horse that ever appeared in this colony. His brother at Hartford was sold last fall for eighty pounds lawful money, though but two years old, and is gone out of this government, and the sire of him and Young Wildair, which was the famed Wildair belonging to James DeLancey, Esq., of New York, is gone back to England again, where he has two brothers that cover mares at twenty-five guineas ; and so greatly was this horse esteemed in England that he has been pur- chased and sent to England at a prodigious price and charge, though nineteen years old, so that there is none of the brand left in this part of the country but Young Wildair. Therefore those that have good mares will not miss this opportunity if they choose the best breed ever in America or England. The owner purchased this horse for breed, not for profit, otherwise he should not have gone to a mare under six pounds at least. Those who choose to leave their mares may depend on it that the servant that attends the horse will take good care of the mares, etc." We have not been able to find in history any corroboration of Judge McCurdy's statement that Col. James DeLancey himself was captured, and we think he may have been mistaken on that point. It appears by Lossing that he was in command of his battalion as late as 1780; and, if it is true that he was captured, it would seem that he soon found his way back to his old position, either by ex- change or escape. Mr. Linsley's conclusion was, as we have seen, that Justin Mor- gan was got by True Briton, son of Traveler. As to the dam, he thought the evidence tended to show that she was of Wildair blood, and that such was probably the fact. And here the matter rested for many years. Mr. Linsley's conclusions were generally accepted as being sound and as being probably all that would ever be learned of the origin of the Morgan horse. But since Mr. Linsley's work was published, additional advertise- ments of True Briton and also advertisements of Figure, afterwards known as the Morgan horse, have been discovered, as well as other Bridge over Connecticut, Springfield, Massachusetts Children coming from School NEW ENGLAND SCENERY Ferry on Connecticut River The Old Toll Gate NEW ENGLAND SCENERY / JUSTIN MORGAN 93 evidence which proves that the Morgan horse was taken to Ran- dolph earlier than supposed by Mr. Linsley, and that the state- ments made by John Morgan, of the year that he was bred, were entirely accurate. Indeed, every statement made by John Morgan has been shown by other evidence to be correct, with the ex- ception of that relating to the breeding of the dam, which alone rests solely upon his statement. The gates of the centuries have swung back and revealed the testimony of John Morgan engraven on a monument more enduring than brass. " Hamlet said he would take the ghost's word fora thousand pounds, and John Morgan's word may be taken for any fact within his knowledge", exclaimed a writer in " Wallace's Monthly" who had previously doubted the accuracy of his statements. And we think every candid man will accept that conclusion. John Morgan was born in 1762, the son of Capt. John Morgan, a resident and land-holder of Springfield, Massachusetts ; was mar- ried in that town, April 13, 1785, and there lived until after the death of his father, Capt. Morgan, September 25, 1790; the next spring he removed to Lima, New York, and from March 9, 1791, was a resident of that place, where he died on the 26th of December, 1846. These facts were derived from the public records of Spring- field and Lima, and the family records of John Morgan and his father. It has been argued that the colt John Morgan refers to as taken to Vermont by Justin Morgan must have been taken before John Morgan left Springfield, but this is not sustained by anything John Morgan said, and was probably not so. The following are the additional advertisements above referred to. In the " Hampshire (Massachusetts) Herald" of May 3, 1785 : "The elegant, full-blooded horse, called the Beautiful Bay, will cover this season at Justin Morgan's stables, in West Springfield, at twenty shillings the season, ten shillings the leap, in cash or produce by the first day of January next, and allowance for cash in hand. Said horse is fifteen hands, takes his name from his shape and color, which is as beautiful perhaps as any horse in the thirteen States ; trots and canters exceedingly light ; is famous for getting fine colts, and very sure. West Springfield, April 25 ". In the " Hampshire Chronicle" of April 1 6, 1787: "The famous, full-blooded English horse, called True Briton or Beautiful Bay, said to be the purest and finest horse for colts in New England, will cover this season at the stable of the subscriber, in Springfield, at the very low rate of eighteen shillings the season, to be paid in cash, grain, 94 THE MORGAN HORSE wool, or flax, if delivered at my house by the first day of October next; and those who do not pay punctually by that time must pay twenty shillings as aforesaid, ten shillings the single leap, to be paid down in any of the above articles. JOHN MORGAN, JR ". 'N. B. It is the same horse that was kept three seasons ago by Mr. Justin Morgan, at West Springfield, and got so many fine colts in that, this, and the neighboring towns". In the " Hampshire Chronicle" of May 27, 1789: " The famous full-blooded English horse, called the True Briton or Beautiful Bay, said to be the purest and finest horse for colts in New England. He is fifteen and a half hands high, and well proportioned every way; will cover this season, at the stable of the subscriber, in Springfield, at the low rate of two dollars the season, pay down, or fifteen shil- lings in a note, payable the first of January ; six shillings, pay down, the single leap, or seven shillings and six pence paid as aforesaid, or four dollars to warrant." "N. B. He will be at Blanford the second of June, and return again on the fourth. JOHN MORGAN, JR. Springfield, May 27". We have discovered, in the "Connecticut Courant", the adver- tisement of Beautiful Bay, for 1784, as follows: "The elegant, full-blooded horse, from his shape and color called the Beautiful Bay, will cover this season at Landlord Miles Powell, Jr.'s stable, in Lanesboro. On account of the difficulty of the times as low as twenty shillings, the sum to be paid in cash or grain in De- cember next. He needs no further recommendation. "As his name is, so is he, If you believe not, call and see". May, 1784". Lanesboro is in Berkshire county, Massachusetts. Also, in the "Federal Spy", Springfield, Massachusetts, that of 1793, this: -"The Beautiful Bay will cover at the stable of Landlord White, in South Hadley (at six to eight shillings) ; the horse being so well known and approved of that any further recommendation is unneces- sary. April 26, 1793 ". His advertisements for 1794 and 1795, under the name of Trav- eler, are given in the Appendix. In the July number, 1883, of the " Maine Horse Breeders' Month- ly", Mr. F. A. Weir published copies, certified by Governor Hale of JUSTIN MORGAN 95 New Hampshire, of the long-withheld letters of John Morgan. We here give the letters : "LIMA, January 9, 1845. " Dear Sir : I received your note a few days since and will, with pleasure, give you the desired information. The dam of the Morgan horse was of the Wild Air or Wildare breed ; she was middling size, her color was a light bay, mane and tail not dark, hair on legs rather long ; she was a smooth, handsome traveler. Her sire was the Dia- mond, a thick, heavy horse of middle size ; he had a thick, bushy mane and tail, hairy legs ; a smooth traveler. He was raised in East Hartford, Connecticut. He was kept one season in West Springfield, Massachusetts, by Justin Morgan. His sire was the Wild Air known as the Church horse; his dam was the noted- mare, Wild Air, owned by Captain Samuel Burt of Springfield, Massachusetts. The Church horse was sired by the Wild Air, imported by DeLancey of Long Island ; it was afterwards said that he was sent back to England. As to the second point, I do not remember so distinctly, but believe the Morgan horse's legs were hairy, as the stock of the Diamond were generally so. The Morgan horse was a bright bay, with a very dark mane and tail. You are mistaken, sir, as to the relation which I sus- tain to Justin Morgan. He was a distant relative of mine, but a near neighbor when I lived in Springfield, Massachusetts. Written by the request of my father, John Morgan. Your obedient servant, S. P. MORGAN". "LIMA, January, 30, 1845. "Dear Sir: Yours of the twenty-third instant was received a few days since. As to your first inquiry, of who owned the dam of the Morgan horse, I believe that Justin Morgan himself owned her. She was a very light bay, not sorrel, her mane and tail rather brown- ish, inclined to black, but still what could not be called a dark mane and tail. I kept the True Briton or Beautiful Bay at the time the Morgan horse was sired. The True Briton was a high-headed, hol- low or sway-backed horse, and his stock were of such a class also. The Wild Airs were generally so, too. Justin Morgan kept the Diamond at the time the mare was sired. I do not know any per- son living at Springfield, Massachusetts, who would be likely to know anything about the circumstances, as there were but very few that took any interest in horses at that time in Springfield. "Nearly one-half of the True Briton colts were a light sorrel, with a small stripe in the face, not bald-faced, with one hind foot white generally, sometimes both; there was occasionally a very bright 96 THE MORGAN HORSE sorrel one, but not often. I do not remember of ever having seen a white hair about his colts that were bay. As there has been a good deal said about Justin Morgan's bringing the Morgan horse from Canada, I know that it was not so. The Morgan horse was as near a full-blooded English horse as it was possible for us to get at the time, and our advantages were not small. PER. S. P. MORGAN. JOHN MORGAN". "This certifies that the above are true copies of letters written by John Morgan, January 9 and 30, 1845. S. W. HALE". By comparing the first of these letters with Mr. Morgan's note to Mr. Skinner, page 74, it will be seen that the Burt mare was dam of the Church Wildair, and not of Diamond, as might be inferred from this letter alone. The following letters are from John Morgan's grandsons, written to A. W. Thomson, Woodstock, Vermont : "LIMA, NEW YORK, July 26, 1880. "Dear Sir: My father, S. P. Morgan, has been dead two years. I answered a letter from Mr. Weir at that time. Any letters he may have from father or grandfather in regard to this horse business are genuine and correct. They were men who knew what they were talking about. How soon, after grandfather came to Lima, he returned to Springfield, I never heard him or father say. He owned or was groom for True Briton before he left Springfield. He settled on this farm in 1790 and lived and died here. My father was born here and died here. My father wrote those letters to Mr. Weir at his father's dictation. Grandfather's oldest son, John, never came to Lima to live. He stayed at Springfield with his grandfather Shaw, till after he was twenty-one, when he went to Windsor, Vermont. He was here in 1860, and died soon after. There are no letters that I can find that say anything in regard to this matter. I think my grandfather came to Lima in the spring of 1790, on an ox sled, with one pair of cattle and a horse to lead them. There was no road west of Cayuga Lake, so he could not have come on wheels. There was nothing but an Indian trail. Yours respectfully, DAVID B. MORGAN". "HARTFORD, WISCONSIN, August 2, 1880. "Dear Sir: My grandfather, John Morgan, was in company with Justin Morgan in owning the horse in question. The son grand- father had born in Lima in 1793 was not my father, as my father was the oldest of the family and the only one born in Springfield, Mas- sachusetts. My grandfather visited Springfield with horses to sell when I was a small boy — I think about the year 1820. I have no recollection of hearing about his visiting Springfield again. My father JUSTIN MORGAN 97 never lived in Lima. He visited there when about nineteen years of age. My father moved from Springfield to Bellows Falls, Vermont, in 1819, and to Windsor four years after, and thereafter lived there. He was at Philadelphia on a visit when he met with the accident that cost him his life, which was during the winter of 1860-61. I think the son born to my grandfather in 1793 was my uncle David. My father visited his father at Lima, while he lived at Bellows Falls, and also after he lived at Windsor. My grandfather did not visit Ver- mont after my father moved there. The other question I cannot answer. Yours truly, JAMES S. MORGAN" . Further light is given by the grand lists of Randolph of that period. The lists do not specify the animals owned by the tax-payer, but the law under which they were made up provided that animals should be appraised as follows: Every ox or steer of four years old and upwards ^4 Every steer or heifer three years old, and each cow 3 Each steer or heifer two years old 2 Each steer or heifer one year old i Each horse of three years old or upwards 3 All horse kind two years old, each 2 All horse kind one year old, each i In 1791 a law was passed, taking effect the next year, that all stallions two years old and upwards should be set in the list at twenty pounds. The lists of Justin Morgan are as follows : 1789 £ 3 i5 i79° 8 1791 10 There is no list of Justin Morgan in Randolph before or after the above. The sudden rise after 1791, when the new law took effect, indicates that he may have been taxed for a stallion the next three years ; and he was never taxed for more than one stallion the same year. He had no stallion or other taxable property in Randolph after 1794. His advertisement of that year shows that he did have one at Williston. An interview with Charles Morgan, late of Rochester, Vermont, was taken by W. H. Bliss, January i6th, 1885, and published in the "Middlebury Register" of October 28th, 1886, as follows: "Mr. Charles Morgan says he has heard his father discuss with inquiring horsemen the questions concerning the old horse, hundreds of times, but he is quite innocent of dates. He understands that Justin Morgan went back to Springfield to collect his pay of a man for whom he had worked, and, not getting money, took a yearling 1793 27 1794 20 98 THE MORGAN HORSE •colt, the Justin Morgan horse. He never heard of the Figure horse; never heard that Justin Morgan owned or handled more than one horse in Vermont ; deems it impossible that he should have had two stallions in 1793 or 1794, when his (Charles') father was seven or eight years old, and the latter never mention the fact in any of the numerous talks and discussions listened to by Charles, who never un- til this morning heard the idea suggested. Charles says Justin Mor- gan left no son except Justin, Jr., who was twelve years old at his father's death, and lived thereafter, until his majority, with one Car- penter on the farm, about three miles from Randolph Center, on which Justin Morgan died. Justin, Jr., was, as is Charles, a remark- ably methodical man, who kept everything in black and white, and Justin Morgan, Sr., probably did likewise, as he was ready with the pen and was chosen town clerk; but Charles has no idea where any book kept by his grandfather could now be found, except the family record in the old Bible, which he thinks is in the hands of J. B. Rog- ers, Binghamton, New York. He has seen that record, which was fully and carefully made in the hand of Justin Morgan himself. Jus- tin Morgan, Jr., had two sisters, but Charles thinks that, if there were any books or papers, they would probably have been left at the old place with the son, and Charles never knew of his father's having any such, and, if he had, thinks he would have produced and referred to them, in his lifetime, concerning these questions, which became im- portant in his day, and which he was very frequently called upon to elucidate. He thinks Justin Morgan died very poor, but says his gravestone is yet to be seen in the cemetery at Randolph Center, with date of death still legible". We find in Spooner's " Vermont Journal", published at Wind- sor, Vermont, the two following advertisements : " Will cover this season at Captain Elias Bissell's stable in Randolph and at Captain Josiah Cleveland's stable in Lebanon, the famous Figure horse from Hartford, Connecticut, at fifteen shillings for the season, if paid down, or eighteen shillings if paid in the fall, in cash or grain at cash prices. Said horse's beauty, strength and activ- ity the subscriber flatters himself the curious will be best satisfied to come and see. Said horse will be in Lebanon the second Monday in May next, there to continue two weeks and then to return to Ran- dolph, so to continue at said Cleveland's and Bissell's, two weeks at each place, through the season. JUSTIN MORGAN. Randolph, April 8, 1793 ". "The beautiful horse, Figure, will cover this season at the mod- erate price of one dollar the single leap, two dollars the season, if paid JUSTIN MORGAN 99 down, or by the first of September next ; if not paid then, it will be sixteen shillings. Said horse will be kept at the stable of Ezra Ed- gerton in Randolph, and Lieut. Durkee or E. Stevens in Royalton. He will be kept at Randolph till the second Monday of May, when he will be taken to Royalton, there to be kept every Monday, Tues- day and Wednesday ; then return to Randolph, where he will continue Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and so alternately during the season. The subscriber flatters himself that the horse's strength, beauty and activity will bear examination by the curious. Constant attention will be paid at each of the above places. JUSTIN MORGAN. Randolph, April 21, 1794". From the first publication of these advertisements, it was almost certain that Figure was Justin Morgan's name for the famous horse now called Justin Morgan, for all the evidence shows that Justin Morgan never had but one stallion in Vermont. There is the following addi- tional testimony on this point: In an interview with F. A. Weir, at his home in Walpole, New Hampshire, he expressed himself as certain that the Figure horse and the Justin Morgan were the same; said that he knew that Mor- gan traveled about with the Morgan horse from place to place ; that old Mr. Matthew Allen told him that the first time he ever saw the Goss horse (another name for the Morgan) was down at Lebanon; that Morgan had him there himself. Mr. Allen owned Morgan Robin and lived at Guildhall, and formerly at St. Johnsbury, to which place he moved in 1810. The Lebanon mentioned is Lebanon, New Hampshire, lying on the Connecticut river, near White River Junction. To go from Ran- dolph, according to Mr. Morgan's first advertisement, he would pass through the villages of East Randolph, East Bethel, Royalton, South Royalton, Sharon, West Hartford and White River Junction, all in the county of Windsor, a distance of a little less than thirty miles. In an interview, in 1885, with the late Celim E. French, then proprietor of the excellent hotel and summer resort at Barnard, Windsor county, Vermont, and seventy-five years old, a highly re- spected citizen, and all his life a dealer in horses, he said: ''The original Morgan horse came from Hartford, Connecticut, to Ran- dolph. I never saw him ". On the same occasion, Mr. J. B. Davis, seventy-three years old, another very respected citizen of Barnard, said : " I heard, when a boy, that Justin Morgan brought the original Morgan horse from Connecticut. I never saw the Justin Morgan but was well acquainted with Jonathan Shepard, of Montpelier, who said that he, at one time, ioo THE MORGAN HORSE owned the old Justin Morgan ; that he used him for all kinds of work ; that he could take him out of the team and run him against any horse they could bring on, and beat every time. Mr. Shepard said he traded for this horse. Mr. Shepard was a truthful man and I sup- pose it was as he said. The Justin Morgan was a blood bay horse with black mane and tail. He sired a very good and even lot of horses, sound, smart and speedy. "Figure Eagle was a bay horse, fifteen and one-fourth hands, I IOO to 1 2OO pounds, a thick-set, heavy horse, bred by Captain Farnham of Tunbridge. He was sold to a man at Barre when not more than ten years old, I think, and was poisoned soon after. I think that Figure Eagle looked the best on parade of any horse I have ever seen. "In my earliest recollection about horses, it was claimed that the original Justin Morgan was Arabian ; he was also claimed to be of other blood and there was quite a controversy about it. My re- collection is that Mr. Shepard said he traded for Justin Morgan; that he did not keep him more than a year or a year and a half, and that he bred him to some mares. I used to take a good many horses down the river to Hartford and Springfield". These gentlemen were both horsemen, very reliable and intel- ligent, and old residents in Barnard, which adjoins Royalton, where the Justin Morgan stood, and Bethel, long the home of VVoodbury Morgan. It is noticeable that they both stated, and wholly from their recollection, that the Justin Morgan came from Connecticut, and one said from Hartford ; agreeing exactly with the advertisement of the Figure horse. The substitution of the word Figure for Morgan, in Figure Eagle, is also very significant, as the horse referred to is without question the one so well known as Morgan Eagle, sire of Lady Sutton(2:3o) and grandsire of Magna Charta. What Mr. Davis said as to Jonathan Shepard's owning the Justin Morgan will be found very pertinent when we come to trace the history of the horse. Mr. Charles W. Bliss of Royalton, born in 1815, lived next neighbor to General Lovell Hibbard, long since deceased. Both were interested in Morgan stock, and each had a son of Woodbury Morgan for service; Mr. Bliss having charge of the Bliss Horse, owned by his father, John Bliss; and General Hibbard owning the horse that has been known by his name. Mr. Bliss, who is now a practical breeder and has long been a leading citizen of Royalton, in a recent interview, said : JUSTIN MORGAN 101 "The reputation of the old Justin Morgan was so thoroughly established, and his stock so uniform, that no one went generally back with the pedigree. But General Hibbard, who was very intel- ligent in pedigrees, said there was no question about his English descent, and said that his sire was owned by an English officer. It was more than fifty years ago that I heard him say this. Gen- eral Hibbard was extremely well acquainted with horsemen in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts, perhaps more than any other man in the State ; he was authority here on any matter re- lating to horses." In the uMontpelier Watchman" of June 9, 1853, is an article on the Morgan horse, taken from the "American Cultivator," in which the facts concerning the horse are substantially the same as after- wards given in Linsley's work. Commenting on these, the editor of the "Watchman" says : " It corresponds with the information we received a number of years since from the late Gen. Joseph Edson of Randolph, in this State, a good judge of that noble animal, the horse, and well versed in the pedigree of the old Justin Morgan. We can, therefore, vouch for its accuracy in all the material facts". Deacon N. S. Benham of Derby Center, Vermont, an old gen- tleman of most excellent reputation and remarkable memory, born in 1802, and interviewed by us in 1888, said that Mr. Nathan Nye, who moved from Randolph to Derby, where he died between seventy and eighty years old, gave him repeatedly the history of the original Morgan horse. He said this horse was brought to Randolph from Hartford, Connecticut, by Justin Morgan, who used him for different kinds of work and in the stud ; that he could out-draw, out-run, out- walk or out-trot any horse that could be found, and did do it re- peatedly on bets. Mr. Benham thought he was imported in the Revolutionary war by a French officer, and was captured, or in some way came into the hands of Mr. Morgan. After Mr. Morgan brought him to Randolph, he was sold and went up to Burlington, or Essex, when, his colts proving very good, parties went there and bought him back. " Nye said he was brought up from Hartford ; he was sold to Burlington, or near Burlington, that I know; they found his stock so good they got him back, that is what he told me. A French officer brought him over in the time of the Revolution ; don't know how Morgan got him". To the question, how Mr. Nye knew about it, Mr. Benham answered: "He knew it from himself; he was an eye witness; lived 102 THE MORGAN HORSE at Randolph at the time Morgan had the horse, and knew about it. Old Uncle Nye was a very safe, good sort of a man, and as nice about a horse as any that ever came into this country". In this story, though confused by time and repetition, the history of True Briton, sire of Justin Morgan, is apparent; owned (not im- ported) by an officer in the Revolution with the French name of DeLancey. When we had this interview with Mr. Benham, we supposed that this locating of the horse at or near Burlington referred to the time when he was owned at Montpelier, or immediately thereafter. But the discovery of the following advertisement, hitherto unknown, proves that it referred to the latter part of the period when he was owned by Justin Morgan. This advertisement also furnishes the final proof of the identity of Figure and the Justin Morgan, and confirms, under the hand of Justin Morgan himself, the already proven fact that this famous animal was a son of DeLancey's True Briton. The advertisement is taken from the " Rutland Herald" of May, 1 795 , and the volume was found in the " Herald " office at Rut- land Vermont,but can also be seen at the library of the Antiquarian society, Worcester, Massachusetts: " Figure will cover this season at stable of Samuel Allen in Wil- liston, and at a stable in Hinesburgh, formerly owned by Mr. Munson. He will stand at Williston till the eighteenth of May ; then to Hines- burgh, where he will stand one week ; then back to Williston, to con- tinue through the season, one week in each place. With regard to said horse's beauty, strength and activity, the subscriber flatters him- self that the curious will be best satisfied to come and see. "Figure sprang from a curious horse owned by Col. DeLancey of New York, but the greatest recommend I can give him is, he is exceedingly sure, and gets curious colts. JUSTIN MORGAN. Williston, April 30, 1/95". Williston adjoins South Burlington, and Hinesburgh touches Wil- liston on the south. It will be noted that Mr. Morgan refers to DeLancey by his proper title of colonel. In the passage of a century, the title of gen- eral had been substituted and this error had been corrected by J. Fenimore Cooper, and a critical examination of the history of that period established the fact that the officer who lost True Briton could have been no other than Colonel James DeLancey • and now Justin Morgan speaks from the tomb, in whose silence he has rested for more than ninety years, to tell us that he had the same exact information. JUSTIN MORGAN 103 The finding of this advertisement supplies the one thing that has hitherto been most desired, a statement by Justin Morgan him- self as to the sire of his horse. The evidence was so strong before that no reasonable man could doubt, and still this positive assertion by Mr. Morgan, that he was got by the Col. DeLancey horse, is very satisfactory. It will be noted that Mr. Morgan has not stated the color of Figure. We think the following statement given to us in relation to Brutus, by Dr. Warren B. Sargent of Pawlet, Vermont, who v:as born in 1803, tends strongly to show that Figure was bay. The state- ment was taken down from the lips of Dr. Sargent, and is given here precisely as he gave it. Dr. Sargent said that old Captain Nathaniel Stoddard of Paw- let, several years owner of Brutus, told him that Brutus was got by a bay horse that stood at Lebanon, New Hampshire, and which was brought from Connecticut, and got by a horse that was kept at Hart- ford, Connecticut, that was stolen in the Revolutionary war from a general in the English army. The circumstances of the capture are like those already given of True Briton — see pedigree of Brutus, within. It is perfectly apparent that this bay horse, the sire of Brutus, was the Morgan horse, Figure, that was advertised his first public season by Justin Morgan to stand at Lebanon. And this account of his sire was the one originally given by Justin Morgan himself, on taking his handsome bay four-year-old into the new region, and the story has come down to us without material alteration, carefully pre- served as part of the pedigree of probably the first son of the Mor- gan horse that was kept entire ; a horse that hitherto has not got into history. This is the last known advertisement by Justin Morgan of any stallion. And to show that when he ceased to advertise Figure he ceased to possess the Morgan horse, we will anticipate a little more of that horse's history. Mr. Linsley gives a letter from Solomon Steele of Derby Line, Vermont, a gentleman who, as Mr. Linsley states, had "devoted a great deal of time and money to the improve- ment of horses in his vicinity". Mr. Steele, as we have already seen, adopted the year 1795, given by the younger Justin Morgan, as the year when the horse was brought in; but curiously enough, he as- sumes that the Morgan was then a developed horse, as in fact he was. We have already followed the horse to the stud season of i/95> and will here given an extract from Mr. Steele's letter, more of which will be given later. It was dated March 12, 1856. 104 THE MORGAN HORSE " It has been my privilege in early life to often see the original Morgan horse, called by this name from the fact that Justin Morgan brought him to Randolph, Vermont, from Massachusetts, in the autumn of 1/95. Mr. Morgan intended to apply him to the pay- ment of a note held against him, but not being able to obtain what he considered a reasonable price for him, and having no keeping for him, he let him to a man by the name of Robert Evans, for one year, for the sum of fifteen dollars. Immediately after this, Evans undertook the job of clearing fifteen acres of heavy timbered land for a Mr. Fisk, and, before the first of June following, had completed the job, with no other team but this colt". It appears in this letter that the source of Mr. Steele's early in- formation as to the horse came from the same Nathan Nye who in- formed Mr. Benham. Throwing out the obvious error that the horse had but just come to Randolph in the fall of 1795, we think the date and circumstances of his being let to Evans are correctly given. Both Nye and Steele were very careful and reliable men, and not only is the person to whom and the purpose for which he was let given, but the price for which he was let and the name of the man for whom the job was done are also stated. Moreover, it is very probable that he did intend to apply him to the payment of a note, for it is understood that the horse finally went to William Rice to pay a debt. It will be recalled that Mr. Davis said, page 99, that Jonathan Shepard of Montpelier claimed to have had the horse a year or so. The following passage appears in " The History of Montpelier", published in 1860, and written by Mr. D. P. Thompson, well known as the author of the popular romances, "The Green Mountain Boys", "The Rangers, or Tory's Daughter", "The Money Diggers", etc. : "Jonathan Shepard of Montpelier built the first blacksmith shop in Montpelier village. Some years after, he sold out his shop and custom to James Hawkins, taking his (Hawkins') farm, and let- ting Hawkins have, too, the first Morgan horse ever known in Ver- mont or elsewhere". In a note at the end of the page Mr. Thompson says : "Mr. Shepard is still living (1860) and Mr. Shepard's statement in regard to the horse is that he purchased him of a man in Wood- stock for about two hundred dollars, a very large price at that time. The man in Woodstock had the horse of one Justin Morgan, a man of that section who reared him from a colt. Mr. Shepard states of his own knowledge that Justin Morgan owned the mare that brought the colt; that she was a great traveler", etc. JUSTIN MORGAN 105 To this A. W. Thomson of Woodstock, Vermont, in an article in the "Turf, Field and Farm", 1883, adds: "Mr. Shepard's son, George C., now of Montpelier, writes that the town records show that his father took a deed of Mr. Hawkins' farm, February 14, 1/97, and that it must have been then that his father sold the horse. Mr. Shepard does not now remember the name of the man his father had the horse of in Woodstock. At the suggestion of the name Rice, he thinks it may be the one that sold the horse to his father. He does not remember hearing his father say as to the color, size or age of the horse. I think his father did not have him more than a year. He says he was present when his father made the statement to D. P. Thompson, and he had frequently heard it from him before. His father always spoke of the horse as the original Morgan horse, the founder of the race called Morgans, and spoke highly of his racing qualities ; how he often ran him races on bets and drinks for the crowd. He states that his father afterward owned a dark chestnut stallion by Sherman Morgan, called Wicked Will, and that this horse resembled the old horse. Mr. Shepard is very confident his father was not mistaken as to the horse he owned being the orig- inal Morgan horse, the Justin Morgan". It is hard to conceive how a horseman like Shepard, who kept a stallion grandson of his former horse, and lived right there at Mont- pelier till later than 1860, could have been mistaken, or why any one should suppose he was mistaken. By referring to the pedigree of Wicked Will, within, it will be seen that he is there described by Mr. Spicer, who at one time had charge of him, while owned by Jonathan Shepard, as a dark bay horse, about fourteen and one-half hands, "handsome as any picture you ever saw; a snug horse, well-built, and a splendid traveler, but cross". This description of Mr. Spicer makes him strikingly like his grandsire, Justin Morgan. It is clear that the horse passed out of Morgan's possession in the fall of 1795. It is very probable that he was in the hands of Evans the following winter. At all events, when Morgan finally dis- posed of the horse, he passed to William Rice of Woodstock. This is universally conceded, save that, until the records were examined, it was supposed from the statement of Justin Morgan, 2d, that Rice had the horse frorrf the estate, after Justin Morgan's death. The records show that Justin Morgan did not own him at his death. He was last listed to Morgan in Randolph in 1794. His last known advertisement of the horse is at Williston and Hinesburgh the season io6 THE MORGAN HORSE of 1795. Mr. Morgan returned to Randolph apparently with no tax- able property. William Rice, who had a list in Randolph from 1792 to 1796, took the horse for a debt, moved to Woodstock, and appa- rently disposed of him as soon as he found a customer. If it was this winter that Evans had the horse, then he got into the hands of Rice in the spring or summer of 1796. Jonathan Shcpard of Mont- pelier bought him of Rice at Woodstock early enough in the season of 1796 to breed him to some mares; and he, as shown by the record, disposed of him, in the farm trade, to James Hawkins, February 14, 1797. Justin Morgan, 2d, in his first letter, wrote : " I know my father, while he lived, called him a Dutch horse". In his second let- ter he qualifies this by saying : " I well remember that my father always spoke of him as a horse of the best blood". This remark about the " Dutch horse" has given rise to considerable comment, those making it seeming to forget that New York and the country around it was settled by the Dutch. We frequently speak of Cana- dian horses, Kentucky horses, or Vermont horses, because they are associated with those regions. And so, undoubtedly, Justin Morgan called his horse " Dutch" because his sire came from, and was owned in, a Dutch settlement. Mr. Morgan has left us under his own hand what he had to say seriously of the pedigree of his horse. This closes the examination of the pedigree of the horse Justin Morgan. If excuse were needed for the space given to this part of our subject, it could be found in the paragraph wherewith Mr. Linsley closes the like part of his " Morgan Horses", as follows: "We have devoted more time and space to this subject than may be thought advisable by some of our readers, as no pedigree, however perfectly it might be established, or how far back it might be traced through any breed of horses, could enhance the value of the race at the present time ; for, as an intelligent writer has observed : ' Before animals have produced progeny, the best evidence of what their progeny will be is what their ancestors have been, because there is a tendency to breed back. Animals of the same blood, how- ever, are not equally valuable as breeders; hence the surest evidence of the value of a breeding animal is the character of the stock it produces. Thus the value of pedigree consists in affording in ad- vance an indication of the value of an animal as a breeder, but the character of the offspring and descendants may be regarded as ex- hibiting the degree of value it possesses ; the one may be regarded as prima facie evidence, the other as demonstrative'. Pedigree is, JUSTIN MORGAN 107 however, valuable in other respects, and cannot be too carefully pre- served by breeders. By preserving the pedigrees of animals, we are enabled to see the result of various crossings of different breeds and families ; can shun the errors of former generations and take advan- tage of their success". The pedigree of Justin Morgan, tabulated according to the evi- dence herein given, will be found following the frontispiece. Bam on Farm of David (Joss, in which the Justin Morgan was kept, 1805-11 109 IV JUSTIN MORGAN (CONCLUDED) In illustrating the pedigree of Justin Morgan, we have given Mr. Linsley's description of the horse and have also followed his history up to the transfer by Jonathan Shepard of Montpelier to James Hawkins of the same place, on the I4th of February, 1797, when the horse was coming eight years old. We will now give some further descriptions of the horse and his characteristics, and a sketch of his further history from that time until his death. Let us continue the letter of Mr. Solomon Steele, in Mr. Linsley's book, part of which was given on page 105. Mr. Steele proceeds: "While Evans was engaged in piling this timber, the remark- able powers of this horse, it would seem, were in a measure devel- oped, as he was then found able to out-draw, out-walk, out-trot or out- run every horse that was matched against him. An instance was re- lated to me by Mr. Nathan Nye, who was an eye-witness, and whose testimony was never questioned. I noted it at the time, and will re- late it in his owrn words. "At the time Evans had this horse, a small tavern, a gristmill and a sawmill were in operation on the branch of the White River in Randolph, and at this place the strength of men and horses in that settlement were generally tested. 'On one occasion (says Nye) I went to those mills, where I spent most of a day, and during that time many trials were had, for a small wager, to draw a certain pine log which lay some ten rods away from the sawmill. Some horses were hitched to it that would weigh twelve hundred pounds, but not one of them could move it its length. About dusk, Evans came down from his logging field, which was near by, and I told him the particulars of the drawing match. Evans requested me to show him the log, which I did ; he then ran back to the tavern and challenged the company to bet a gallon of rum that he could not draw the log fairly on to the log- way, at three pulls with his colt. The challenge was promptly ac- cepted, and each having 'taken a glass', the whole company went down to the spot. ii2 THE MORGAN HORSE horse ; that he was kept in the barn, across the way from his house, and that both house and barn are just as they were when the horse was brought there. The old-fashioned two-story house and the barn, both built in 1794, are shown in the illustration. In the "Spirit of the Times", in 1874, is a letter written by John Woodbury under date of July 22, 1857, to Hon. J. P. Kidder, form- erly a well-known Vermont lawyer, who removed to Vermilion, Dakota. This John Woodbury lived and died in Bethel, Windsor county, Vermont, and was the owner of Woodbury Morgan. The Backman horse, to which Mr. Woodbury refers, is registered within under the name of " Charley (Josiah Richardson Horse)", by reference to which it will be seen that he was called by our informants fifteen and a half hands high. As Mr. Woodbury calls the Justin Morgan about the same height, it is evident either that he was mistaken, or the height of "Charley" has been exaggerated, or Justin Morgan was taller than he has been reported. This is one of many sugges- tions that leads us to believe that Justin Morgan was considerably more than fourteen hands high. Mr. Woodbury, in his letter, says: "The original Morgan, as I best recollect, was in weight not more than one thousand pounds, and maybe one hundred pounds less ; height, about same as Backman horse ; short back, thick shoul- der and broad chest; heavy stifle, and, I think, longer body and clear from flesh, with large cords and muscles; head rather small, wide between eyes, which were full and hazel ; extremely large, ex- tended nostrils ; jet black flowing mane and tail ; dark bay ; very fast for both racing and trotting. I once saw him trot at Randolph and win some fifty dollars, matched against a large English horse, called King William, and whipped him easily". In closing the description of the original Morgan horse, it may not be amiss to introduce a graphic pen-picture of one of his typi- cal descendants, drawn after the old horse had slept a score of years beneath the sod. It is an editorial in the " Spirit of the Times", and appeared in that paper in its issue of January 8, 1842. The writer is introducing a letter from George Barnard, which, he says, "will be read with great interest by those who have ever had the satisfaction of drawing rein over a Morgan horse. The characteristics of the breed, of which we have had the pleasure of an acquaintance since we first sported jacket and trousers, are seen from the following de- scription of one we have frequently backed and driven" : " He was a deep blood bay, with no other white than a star, about fifteen hands and an inch high; his light, clean limbs, and small, flinty hoofs, would compare with those of many 'terribly JUSTIN MORGAN 113 high-bred cattle ' ; his head was light and well-modeled, with superb eyes and small, tapering ears, both set wide apart, denoting high courage and 'the least taste of life' of gentle blood; his fine muzzle and thin, expansive nostril should not he unnoticed ; he was partic- ularly roomy between the jowls, with a large throttle, affording free play to his respiratory organs. One of his finest points was his chest, which was deep and capacious, as if modeled on that of Eclipse ; his broad, oblique shoulders, too, rising high on the withers, with the blades inclining well back, in the way well calculated to give him that fine, spirited action of his fore legs which has been so much re- marked. A Morgan horse strikes out boldly with his fore feet and never stumbles or shuffles. His barrel was of moderate length, but his long, broad ribs almost to his stifle, like the engravings of the King's Plate horses of the last century; like them, too, his back in- clined to a roach, with no more tuck in the flank, or cutting up in the waist, than Shark or Gimcrack. He had great width between the whirl-bones, or points of the hip, muscular thighs and gaskins. and broad, flat hocks. In fact, without any remarkable display of muscle or strength, his wiry, hardy form was so perfectly proportioned, and his propulsive powers so well placed and balanced, that he could sustain with unflinching spirit the most extraordinary tasks imposed upon him, and it is notorious that he has ended journeys in fine plight after fatigues under which horses of less stamina and thorough game have sunk exhausted. The Morgan horse does not take on fat; turn him out for a season to grass, or grain him highly in the stable, or keep him well and work him hard, and no difference is perceptible in him ; he always looks, and is, in condition. He is too lean and light to make a showy city carriage horse, but in a week's journey would improve, while the heavy, lumbering city coach horse in 'mod- ern instances' would melt away and be utterly knocked up. The Morgan horse has not an ounce of superfluous flesh at any time, while the pampered, fat, clumsy brutes that drag their weary lengths along over the pavements before a heavy city carriage can no more match him in action, style or spirit than a pair of Berkshires". Such were the statements made by those who knew the original Morgan horse or his immediate progeny. We will now resume the history. After his transfer from Shepard to Hawkins, in February, 1797, he had many owners, and was in many different localities, leav- ing few records in the shape of advertisements that have come down to this time, and it is not possible to locate him exactly each year. It is not known just how long James Hawkins kept the horse, but he next appears in the hands of the same Robert Evans of Randolph ii4 THE MORGAN HORSE who had hired him before. He seems to have had him as early as 1 80 1. Mr. Evans was a poor man with a large family and was a great worker. In addition to the work on his own place, he was- constantly undertaking jobs for his neighbors, such as building fence, hauling logs and clearing land. This horse was his only team, and his work was very severe. According to Mr. Linsley, Evans kept the horse till 1804, when he was sued for debt, and Col. John Goss of Randolph became his bail, took the horse for security, and finally paid the debt and kept him. Col. John Goss, not being much of a horseman, took the horse to his brother, David Goss of St. Johnsbury (who was quite a horseman), to be kept for a stock horse. After David had kept him for a year, he was so much pleased with him that he ex- changed a fine mare with his brother for him, adding cash or other property. That he stood in St. Johnsbury, in 1805 and 1809, is shown by the advertisement of Weasel (see Weasel, Fenton Horse), and Mr. Linsley is doubtless accurate in stating that David Goss kept him seven years, or until 181 1, and that the Sherman and Hawkins horses were sired by him during this period. But he was sent back to Ran- dolph and kept by John Goss the season of 1807, as appears by this advertisement in the ''Randolph Weekly Wanderer" from May 4 to June 15, 1807 : "The Morgan horse will stand for covering this season at the stable of John Goss in Randolph. Randolph, May 4, 1807." And John Goss visited Claremont, New Hampshire, that season, as appears by the statement of Charles M. Lamb, a very reliable law- yer, late of South Royalton, Vermont, born in 1803. The statement was taken by A. W. Thomson and published in his article in the "Turf, Field and Farm", in 1884. This statement and the letter fol- lowing serve to fix several points in the history of Justin Morgan, and add the testimony of another excellent witness that the origin of the horse was then stated as here given : "Mr. Lamb says that he lived with Lemuel Ainsworth of Clare- mont, New Hampshire, until sixteen ; that Mr. Ainsworth removed from Randolph, Vermont, to Claremont in 1799; that he knew Justin Morgan and his horse at Randolph; knew when Justin Morgan took the horse to Randolph, and knew that he got him where he had lived. In the summer of 1807, John Goss came to Claremont with the horse Justin Morgan and stopped a few days with his (Mr. Goss') brother, who lived about half a mile from Mr. Ainsworth's. The horse was bred to some eight or ten mares at this time, and the colts were all JUSTIN MORGAN 115 bays. Mr. Goss kept the horse this .season at Randolph. * Mr. Lamb states that Samuel Stone came to Claremont in the winter of 1813-14 with the horse Justin Morgan, and staid several weeks with Mr. Ainsworth, and that he (Mr. Lamb) frequently rode the horse to water. The seasons of 1815 and 1817, the horse stood at Claremont. At this time, Mr. Joseph Rogers, an elderly man, formerly from Connecticut, was living at Claremont. Mr. Rogers said then that the Justin Morgan's sire was DeLancey's horse. Mr. Lamb does not know how Mr. Rogers knew, but knows he said so. Mr. Lamb says he has heard that the horse's sire was True Briton, but whom he first heard say so he cannot tell ; it may have been Mr. Rogers. Ainsworth, Goss and Stone agreed as to where the horse came from, but he does not remember that they said any- thing in regard to his sire." We add a letter from Mr. Lamb, written by him to C. L. Bristol of Robare, Montana, dated December 5, 1884, and courteously fur- nished to us by Mr. Bristol. This letter is of later date than the interview : "Dear Sir: Yours of the 24th has just been received. As early as 1807 or 1808, I first saw the old Justin Morgan horse in Claremont, New Hampshire. He was brought there by John Goss, who then owned him and lived in Randolph, Vermont. I was then four or five years old, having been born in 1803. The horse was there in mare season and got colts, perhaps eight or ten, many of which I knew and some of which I drove and used in after years. In the fall of 181 1 or 1812, as I think, Sam Stone, then owning the horse, came with him to Claremont and stopped with the man with whom I was living, a Mr. Ainsworth, I should think six weeks or more. During his stay, I very often rode the horse to water a distance of ten or fif- teen rods. The horse again came to Claremont in mare season in 1815 and again in 1 8 1 7, as I think, and stood for mares. He was then called about twenty years old. As to what his sire was, I may get two stories confounded. An old gentleman by the name of Rogers, who was perhaps seventy-five years old when I was fifteen, and moved from the State of Connecticut, said the horse was sired by a horse said to have been taken from the British during the last years of the Revolution, and went by the name of the DeLancey Horse ; and whether he called the horse True Briton, or whether I got the idea from Frederick Weir, who was speculating in the Gifford Mor- gan and his stock atTunbridge, somewhere near 1840, 1 am now un- able to tell. My strong impression is that Rogers spoke of him as the True Briton, but I am at loss to tell how this is. I do not recol- n 6 THE MORGAN HORSE lect hearing any one give the name of the horse except this Mr. Rogers ; and this was the understanding of those in Claremont who knew and patronized the horse Justin Morgan, viz., the Ainsworths the Gosses and the Rices. This is all I can say in regard to his pedigree, or the means my informants had of knowing. "In regard to the horse being a swift runner, or a fast trotter, I do not know as I ever heard of his running a race, and trotting horses and timing them have come later! But this is quite certain, that he was a sharp going horse at any gait, but I don't think he ever made a mile in three minutes. All I ever heard said of him was that, whenever upon the road, he always overtook and passed all that were ahead of him, and that he kept out of the reach of all behind him. Justin Morgan, Jr., however, may have been better informed than I. "The parties I have named as having an understanding in regard to the horse's sire, lived in Claremont, New Hampshire, and the Mr. Ainsworth whom I mentioned came fram Randolph, Vermont, from the immediate neighborhood of John Goss, and probably about the time Goss became the owner of the horse. "The color of the old Justin Morgan is hard to describe, but I will call him a brown bay, dappled when in condition for service, with slightly mealy nose. His colts, so far as I knew, were either deep blood bay, without any white, or dark brown, or light brown with mealy noses. #**#*#***#* Very truly yours, CHARLES M. LAMB". Mr. Elijah Austin of Greensboro, Vermont, (born February 4, 1794) said in the interview before referred to : "I lived in Royalton seven years and then we moved back to the place where I was born, in Tunbridge. I think I was seventeen when we moved back. That year the Morgan horse stood a part of the time in Randolph, part in Tunbridge, and part in Royalton. Stone took him around ; rode another horse and led him". Dr. Wilkinson of Claremont informed us in an interview that old Mr. Joel Goss and Joseph Rogers owned the old Morgan horse to- gether at Claremont one or two years and had the horse there ; this was about 1816, and it was while there that he got Revenge. Rogers lived near the ferry. Resuming Mr. Linsley's narrative where we last left it, he pro- ceeds: "Mr. Goss (David) kept him almost constantly at work on his farm, with the exception of about two months in the spring of each year. While his property, although put to hard work, the JUSTIN MOR GAN 1 1 7 horse was not overworked or abused, but was properly treated and cared for. David Goss sold him to his son Philip, and some of his colts about Randolph having grown up and proved valuable, there was some inquiry for the horse in that vicinity, and he was accord- ingly taken back to that town. This was in 1811. He was now nineteen [twenty-two] years old, and those who owned him at dif- ferent times after this generally seemed eager to get rid of him for fear he should die on their hands. Immediately after his return to Randolph, he seems to have been taken care of by Robert Evans, his former owner, for it was during this year that Bulrush was sired, and he was at that time in the possession of Mr. Evans. Soon after this, or in the autumn of 1811, Philip Goss sold him to Jacob Sand- erson; Sanderson sold him to a Mr. Langmaid, who used the old horse hard, considering his age. Reworked him sometime in a six- horse team, hauling freight from Windsor to Chelsea. Under this treatment he became thin and poor, and was purchased for a trifle by a man in Chelsea, and shortly after sold by him to Joel Goss of Claremont, New Hampshire. Mr. Goss kept him one year, and sold him to Mr. Samuel Stone of Randolph. Mr. Stone kept him two or three years, or until 1819, when he sold him, and he soon after became the property of Levi Bean, who owned him until his death, which happened in the winter of 1821, at the farm of Clifford Bean, situated about three miles south of the village of Chelsea, Ver- mont". Solomon Langmaid who in 1890 lived at Newton, Iowa, and who was born in 1796, and lived until 1855 at North Danville, Ver- mont, describes Justin Morgan as a little less than fifteen hands, about one thousand pounds, and says that his brother, William Lang- maid, bought him for one hundred dollars, in May, 1816, of Mr. Stone of Randolph, and kept him that season at Danville, where he got four foals ; and that, after keeping the horse ten months, his brother sold him back to Mr. Stone. This accounts for the season of 1816. Probably Mr. Linsley was misinformed in regard to the person who sold to Langmaid. Comparing these narratives, they are found to be harmonious with trifling exceptions. He was probably owned by David Goss until 181 1, but he made the season of 1807 in Randolph, with a short stay in Claremont. He may have been at the barn of Robert Evans in Randolph in the season of 181 1, but he was handled that season by Samuel Stone in Randolph, Tunbridge and Royalton. When in Claremont, he was owned by Joel Goss and Joseph Rogers, and, if n8 THE MORGAN HORSE Mr. Lamb's recollection is correct, he made the seasons of 1814, 1815 and 1817 there, besides the partial season of 1811, when John Goss had him there; in 1816 at William Langmaid's in Danville; and in 1818 Samuel Stone got him back from Goss and Rogers. The stud career of the Justin Morgan may be briefly stated thus: 1/93, kept by Justin Morgan at Randolph, Royalton and Lebanon; 1794, by Justin Morgan at Randolph and Royalton; 1795> by Justin Morgan at Wtlliston and Hinesburgh; 1796, by Jonathan Shepard at Montpelier, and perhaps earlier in the season by William Rice at Woodstock; 1797, passed to James Hawkins of Montpelier, and it is not known where kept until purchased, probably 1 80 1, by Robert Evans, Randolph, who sold him, probably 1804, to John Goss, Randolph; 1805 and 1806, kept by David Goss at St. Johnsbury; 1807, by John Goss, a short time at Claremont, and the balance of the season at Randolph; 1808, 1809 and 1810, by David Goss at St. Johnsbury; 1811, by Samuel Stone in Randolph, Tunbridge and Royalton; 1812 and 1813, uncertain; Samuel Stone quite likely used him these two seasons in the stud about Randolph; 1814, 1815, 1817, kept by Joel Goss and Joseph Rogers at Clare- mont; 1816, by William Langmaid at Danville; 1818, 1819, by Samuel Stone at Randolph; afterwards, till his death in 1821, he was owned by Levi Bean of Chelsea. It will be observed that he was thirty-two years old when he died. There has always been some doubt as to the precise year in which Mr. Justin Morgan brought the original Morgan Horse to Vermont. Justin Morgan, Jr., is shown by the advertisements to have been mistaken in his statement that his father brought in the horse in the spring, summer or autumn of 1795. It seems very probable that the two colts brought in, as stated by him, were the three or four-year-old stallion, Figure (Justin Morgan) ,and another colt, instead of a three-year-old gelding and two-year-old stud, as he states (see page 71 ). It is really of little consequence in what year the Justin Morgan was brought to Vermont, since we know by his advertisement that he was kept for service in the White Rivervalley in 1793. But there are facts that indicate strongly that Mr. Morgan got him at Hart- ford, in 1792 or 1793, — perhaps between the 2ist of May and the 2Oth of June, 1792, — and brought him to Vermont. It has appeared that Mr. Morgan, in the spring of 1793, gave up his home and traveled with the horse on what appears to have been his first season in Vermont. He advertised him as "The Famous Figure Horse from Hartford, Connecticut", an announcement hardly consistent with the theory JUSTIN MOR GAN 1 1 9 that he had brought up the colt there at Randolph from a yearling, or even from a two-year-old ; but perfectly natural if he had brought the horse that or the previous season from Hartford, and especially so if the horse had been advertised and done service in Hartford under the name of Figure. Curiously enough, we find in the Hart- ford " Connecticut Courant", running weekly from May 7 to May 21, 1792, the following advertisement: " Figure, a Beautiful bay Horse, fifteen hands high, will cover this season at the stable of the subscriber, at Twenty Shillings the season or Two Dollars the single leap. SAMUEL WHITMAN. Hartford (West Division), May 5". The name and description are those of Figure, son of Beautiful Bay ; the expression, " Beautiful bay ", in the description, is suggestive ; the discontinuance of the advertisement on May 2ist is an indication that the colt about that time went away, while the increase in Mr. Morgan's grand list, given in on June 2Oth of that year, tends to show that he had his horse Figure at Randolph at that time. Sam- uel Whitman's name first appears in the town records of Hartford in 1785, when a farm was transferred to him in what was then known as the West division of Hartford, and now known as the town of West Hartford. In the course of a few years he was the purchaser of property in the city. His last real estate transaction occurred in 1838. It certainly is very possible that he purchased from Justin Morgan, in 1788, when Mr. Morgan removed from West Springfield to Ver- mont, the dam of the Justin Morgan, then in foal. Mr. A. W. Thomson, in his article, from which we have quoted above, further says, with apparent accuracy: "When Justin Morgan moved to Randolph, his sister came with him. She was a widow ; her name was Eunice Williams ; she had a son and a daughter. They lived about a mile from the Center, toward the East Branch. There were two brothers of Mr. Morgan that lived at Randolph, Calif and Stephen. Justin Morgan, when on his* way home with the colts, stopped all night with his sister. The next morning he went over to Mr. Moulton, the next neighbor, and had his son Jude come over and see the colts. Mr. Moulton was shown a four-year-old stallion ; he did not at first notice the small cne ; after a while Mr. Morgan called his attention to the little one, and asked him, 'What do you think of him'? Mr. Moulton said he saw a little runt of a colt that did not look to be worth ten dollars, and said so. * * * Mr. Moulton and his son moved on to the West 120 THE MORGAN HORSE Branch in 1 793 ; his son Jude married Mrs. Williams' daughter. Their son, who recently died at Chelsea, said his father told him these facts time after time, and his grandsons remember hearing their grand- father tell the same; one of them thinks his grandfather said the four-year-old horse was gray, but the others said not; that he said bay. William Rice lived at Randolph when Mr. Morgan died; he removed to Woodstock about 1796. * * * Some say he had the four-year-old horse and took him to Woodstock, and some say the horse was sold and taken to Williston". Now, Mr. Thomson did not then and does not now know that the Morgan horse was advertised in 1795, or at any other time, to stand at Williston, under the name of Figure. So the statement that some said at that time that the four-year-old horse was taken to Williston, coupled with the fact that others said he went to Rice, at Woodstock, both of which statements are strictly true of the Morgan horse, is, to say the least, very suggestive that the four-year-old and the Morgan horse, otherwise called Figure, were one and the same animal. And it seems most probable that the bay stallion pointed out to Mr. Moul- ton was the identical Morgan horse, perhaps three instead of four years old ; and it is not unlikely that the "little runt of a colt" with him justified Mr. Moulton's remark, and was not worth ten dollars. We have no other evidence, coming by verbal tradition, as to the bringing in of the colts and their appearance at that time, that is so direct and so apparently reliable as this. Taking all these circumstances into consideration, it certainly looks very probable that the horse advertised under the name of Figure at Hartford, Connecticut, in 1792, by Samuel Whitman, was the Justin Morgan, and that he was taken that year or the next to Vermont, by Mr. Morgan. So that the Justin Morgan may have made the first part of the season of 1792, then three years old, at Hartford, Connecticut, and completed it at Randolph, Ver- mont. Mr. Linsley closes his sketch of the Justin Morgan as follows : "At twenty-nine [thirty-two] years of age, no cause need be as- signed for his death but the ravages of time and the usual infirmities of years ; but old age was not the immediate cause of his death. He was not stabled, but was running loose in an open yard with other horses, and received a kick from one of them on the flank ; exposed without shelter to the inclemency of a northern winter, inflammation set in and he died. Before receiving the hurt which caused his death, he was perfectly sound, and entirely free from any description of blemish. JUSTIN MOR GAN 1 2 1 His limbs were perfectly smooth, clean, free from any swelling, and perfectly limber and supple. Those persons who saw him in 1819 and 1820 describe his appearance as remarkably fresh and youthful. Age had not quenched his spirit, nor damped the ardor of his tem- per; years of severest labor had not sapped his vigor, nor broken his constitution ; his eye was still bright, and his step firm and elastic. " However various may be the opinions different persons may entertain respecting the merits of the Justin Morgan, we doubt whether any horse can be instanced, in this or any other country, that has so strikingly impressed upon his descendants, to the fifth and sixth generations, his own striking and valuable characteristics ; and it may be safely asserted that the stock of no horse ever bred in this country has proved so generally and largely profitable to its breeders. The raising of it has made the fortunes of hundreds of individuals, and added hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars, to the wealth of Vermont and New Hampshire." We close this sketch with the eloquent and deserved tribute of Mr. W. H. H. Murray: "The Morgans are the very embodiment of every quality and characteristic which is called for in a roadster. In them the poetry of equine nature and motion is expressed and set to music. In action they make a heroic appearance, and their hoofs beat melody from the path. In them is dash and shine and rythm. They strike the road with the same nervous stroke with which the pigeon in full career strikes the air, and, like that tense-winged courier of the sky, they laugh at hills, and mount them with a dash of spirited flight." V SONS OF JUSTIN MORGAN We have information more or less reliable of some twelve or fourteen sons of Justin Morgan that were kept entire. Those cer- tainly his sons were Brutus, Weasel or Fenton Horse, Young Trav- eler or Hawkins Horse, Sherman Morgan, Bulrush Morgan, Wood- bury Morgan, Revenge, the Gordon Horse, the Randolph Horse, and one or more others that went to Boston. Blazing Star, owned at or near Woodstock, we think was a son. Corbin's Fox was quite prob- ably a son, but may have been a grandson. The same is true of Defiance. Highlander, that went from Boston to New York, and Brandywine, that went to Maine, are both said to have been sons. There were doubtless others. We are very strongly of the opinion that one or more of his sons grew up in Canada, either bred there or taken there in their dams, or otherwise, giving the Canadian pacer a very strong resemblance to the Morgan, and, in part at least, his characteristics and speed. But this subject is discussed in a later chapter. Mr. Linsley mentions but six of these sons — the Fenton Horse, the Hawkins Horse, Sherman Morgan, Bulrush Morgan, Woodbury Morgan and Revenge ; but adds : " We have no doubt there were others, and we can only say that we have been able to obtain no authentic account of more than six". He then continues : " Between all the stallions left by him there was a very close and striking resemblance, in size, form, and general character, and they also bore equal resemblance to their sire; indeed, the power of transmitting to his progeny his own form, con- stitution and temperament was a very distinguishing trait of the Jus- tin Morgan, and we believe no horse was ever bred that possessed in a higher degree the power of stamping upon his offspring his own great leading characteristics. "The important features that characterize the Justin Morgan, his compactness of form, his high and generous spirit, combined with the most perfect gentleness and tractability, his bony, sinewy limbs, 1 24 THE MOR GAN HORSE. his lofty style and easy but vigorous action, were strongly and strik- ingly impressed upon his offspring. Not only did his valuable qualities descend unimpaired to the next generation, but apparently with little diminution to the second and third ; and thus it is that where pains have been taken to select both sires and dams, possess- ing most of his blood and characteristics, young colts may now be found that closely resemble him in all important respects, except size, in which there has been a decided increase. We have stated our belief that there were more than six horses kept as stallions, but we think it doubtful whether any stock can be traced to the Fenton Horse, and but very little is descended from Revenge or the Haw- kins Horse". BRUTUS outranks in age all the known sons of Justin Morgan by quite a number of years. He was foaled, as we have the best reason to believe, in 1794. Of his early history we know nothing. He first appears to our notice when some twenty years old, owned by Wil- liam Marsh, who moved from Woodstock to Pawlet, Vermont, in 1815, bringing this horse with him, and traded him September 1 5, of that year, in part payment for a farm, to Captain Nathan Stod- dard of Pawlet. Mr. Stoddard kept Brutus several years and sold him to a Mr. Fitch of Pawlet, whose property, it is thought, he died. Brutus was a bay horse, about fifteen and three-fourths hands, and weighed about eleven hundred pounds. He was especially well fronted, with a good and long neck, and had the business qualities of action and endurance that made him a very valuable horse. We first learned of Brutus from the late Dr. Warren B. Sargent of Pawlet, Vermont, born in 1803, for many years one of the most respected citizens of the State, and, through his long life, a very ex- pert and intelligent horseman. Dr. Sargent, after giving us very valuable information on many of the noted early horses of south- western Vermont, said: "Then there was Brutus, the best horse of all, and got the best stock. He was brought here, when quite an old horse, by Esquire William Marsh of Woodstock, Vermont, and traded by him, towards his farm, to Captain Nathan Stoddard, who kept him several years and sold him to Mr. Fitch. Captain Stoddard told me that Brutus was got by a bay horse that stood at Lebanon, New Hampshire, and was brought from Connecticut, and got by a horse kept at Hartford that was stolen in the Revolutionary war from a general in the English army, under the following circumstances : " This officer was accustomed to ride his horse every morning to a tavern and leave him standing while he got a drink. A drummer boy SONS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 125 in the American army, who had perceived this, conceived the idea of running away with the horse, and he obtained consent of his officer to make the attempt. Near the tavern was a ravine with trees. By a sheep path, the boy, who pretended to be going fishing, got near, and, the moment the officer entered the tavern, jumped on the horse and rode for his life. Shots followed, but he had reached the ravine, and came safely within the American lines". Dr. Sargent said that Brutus' stock were nearly all bays or chestnuts ; that Brutus was himself a good runner, and would leave all others at eighty rods ; that he was a horse of uncommon bottom, but was quite old when brought to Pawlet. Dr. Sargent, in giving this story, did not connect it with the history of any other horse, knowing nothing about the fact of the Justin Morgan's standing at Lebanon, New Hampshire, in 1793. But it is certain that the bay horse referred to was the original Justin Morgan horse, advertised by Justin Morgan, in the Windsor paper, under the name of Figure, to stand at Lebanon, New Hampshire, in 1793 ; and that the story of the horse captured by the drummer boy from the English officer, is but a slightly changed version of the cap- ture of True Briton, or Beautiful Bay. In the " History of Shoreham", by the Rev. Mr. Goodhue, ap- pears the following: UA horse named Brutus, of pure English blood, was brought to this country by a British officer in the time of the war of the Revolution. General Timothy F. Chipman became the owner of him at an advanced age, and kept him eight or ten years. He was said to be of the hunting breed, of a red roan color, about fifteen and a half hands high ; in every point well proportioned, and in form and movement was regarded as a perfect model of his race. In activity and gracefulness he was never excelled by any ever kept in this State. With General Chipman mounted on him he would leap almost any fence or ditch, enjoying such feats as a pastime. He left much of his blood here, traces of which the author of this work has frequently seen within the last twenty-five years. To him as a sire we attribute that superiority in the race for which this town was noted at an early day. He was as celebrated at that time for his qualities as Black Hawk is now ". The town records of Shoreham show that General Chipman lo- cated in Shoreham in 1783 and died there in 1830, aged sixty-nine. We are strongly inclined to think that these two Brutuses are iden- tical. If so, the horse probably passed from Mr. Chipman to Mr. Marsh. 126 THE MORGAN HORSE WEASEL, or the FENTON HORSE, was foaled in 1806, and bred by Richard W. Fenton, St. Johnsbury, Vermont. He was a beautiful blood bay, with black legs, mane, and tail, and was fifteen hands high. His dam was bay, and had the reputation of being an excellent animal. Beyond this we can learn nothing about her. Her breed- ing is entirely unknown. Mr. Linsley says of Weasel: "He very closely resembled his sire, was very compact, and muscular, and had the same nervous and vigorous action, the same lofty and fearless style, and we are in- clined to think was one of the best, if not the best, of Justin's colts. There were but few colts left by him, as, when he was six years old, he bit his owner severely, and he had him castrated. We cannot learn that any of his colts were kept as stallions". Mr. Linsley gives the foaling of this colt as 1808, but in the "Danville North Star" is the following advertisement, dated May 10, 1810: "The 'Dutch' horse Weasel, a horse four years old, will stand at the stable of the subscriber, one mile north of St. Johnsbury Plains, Vermont; terms, one to three dollars. Said horse is fifteen hands high, stout built, and sired by the full-blooded Dutch horse that stood at St. Johnsbury last season. RICHARD W. FENTON". Mr. Fenton again advertises him in 181 1 From Mr. Joseph Wooley, Rutland, Vermont, ninety-two years old, but of excellent memory, we learned that a small bay horse called Weasel was owned by Mr. Weir of Grafton, Vermont, and kept in that town about 1812, and that his stock was very active and sprightly. Itisquite possible that this was the Weasel by Justin Morgan, and that Mr. Linsley's information that he was gelded was erroneous. A little later a horse of similar name and description, that is thought to have been a Morgan horse, appeared at Stanstead and Barnston, Province of Quebec. This horse may have been a son of Weasel, or he may have belonged to some other family. Of this last horse Mr. Wilcox, a very reliable citizen of Derby Line, Vermont, said : " We had a Shark horse here, a Lee Boo and Weasel ; Wea- sel was a Morgan. Then the Hawkins Horse was here, and later old Black Morgan. Many colts were kept stallions from all these". F. A. Weir of Walpole, New Hampshire, says : " There was a Weasel here by Quicksilver; he stood at old Mr. Watkins' hotel at Wal- pole about 1821, when I was a boy. Charles Watkins took him to Canada, but I think this was in the thirties ". We have also been informed that there was a son of Sherman Morgan named Weasel. SOWS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 127 The HAWKINS HORSE, or YOUNG TRAVELER, is the subject of the following sketch by Mr. Linsley : "The Hawkins horse was foaled in 1806 or 1807, the property of Mr. Melvin, St. Johnsbury, Vermont. He was sired by Justin Morgan ; his dam was a bay about fifteen hands high, of fine form and excellent action. She was sired by a black horse brought from Connecticut, and said to have been an imported thoroughbred racer, but it is not probable that he was, as we can find no record of any such importation near that time, or sufficiently near to render it prob- able that his dam would have been sired by such a horse. "When three years old, Mr. Melvin sold him to Olney Hawkins, a near neighbor. Hawkins was captain of a troop, and he bought the colt to use as a parade horse. After keeping him five or six years, he sold him to his brother Stephen. Stephen kept him two years at St. Johnsbury, and then took him to Stanstead, Canada East. Here the horse remained a few years, and left some stock. " From Stanstead he was taken to Upper Canada, but after this we are unable to trace him, and do not knowr where he was kept or when he died". We do not know the evidence that Mr. Linsley had that the Hawkins Horse was foaled as early as 1806 or 1807 though quite possibly that is correct. He is advertised in the " Danville North Star", May, 1817, as follows: " Young Traveler will stand the ensuing season for the use of mares at the following places, viz. : At the stable of Silas Gorham, Danville, every Saturday, commencing on the 24th inst. ; at Cham- berlin's, Lyndon Corners, on Tuesdays ; at Dole's Tavern, St. Johns- bury, on Thursdays ; and at the stable of the subscriber all the in- tervening days of each week. Young Traveler is descended from the old Dutch Goss horse, and, as he is generally known, a particu- lar description is deemed unnecessary. It is presumed, however, that those who call will be satisfied with his figure and movement. Terms three dollars the season, four dollars to ensure a foal. OLNEY HAWKINS. St. Johnsbury, May 14, 1817". Before the next season Olney Hawkins sold him to his brother, Stephen Hawkins of St. Johnsbury, who advertised him in the " Dan- ville North Star", May, 1818, as the part Dutch horse formerly owned by Olney Hawkins of St. Johnsbury, to stand in Danville, Wheelock Hollow and St. Johnsbury. Soon afterward the horse went to Stan- stead, Canada, where he was advertised in the " Danville North Star" in May, 1820, as follows: 128 THE MORGAN HORSE " Improve your breed of horses ! The celebrated Dutch horse formerly owned by Stephen Hawkins, St. Johnsbury, will stand in the stable of Robert Rogers, every day in the week, on Stanstead Plains, the coming season. Stanstead, May 20, 1820". He remained at Stanstead probably till 1824, and was owned the latter part of the time by John Johnson, by whom the following advertisement was inserted in the ''Stanstead Journal", May, 1823: "The celebrated Dutch horse, called the Hawkins Horse, ten years old this year, will stand at the subscriber's stable, in Stanstead Plains, every day in each week, the ensuing season, at two dollars the single leap, or three dollars the season ; warranted as the parties can agree. Any kind of produce will be received in payment in the month of January next. JOHN JOHNSON. Stanstead, May I, 1823". In April, 1825, John Johnson advertised, in the Stanstead paper, Young Quicksilver, raised at Norwich, Vermont, to stand at his stable at Stanstead Plains, and no other horse, making it probable that he parted with the Hawkins Horse before that time. In 1828, probably, he was purchased by David and Alonzo Wood of Shefford, Shefford county, Canada, on the road from Stan- stead to Montreal. The Messrs. Wood took the horse to Shefford and kept him several seasons at Frost's Village, near Waterloo, being prob- ably the seasons of 1828 to 1831, inclusive. This fact is attested by the personal statements of Benjamin Milton Martin of Waterloo, and his brother Nelson Martin of Stukeley and others, who remember the horse while owned by the Wood brothers. Nelson Martin, born 1813, states that he had a mare in 1834, then four years old, that was bred by his father ; that his father had a horse colt foaled in 1829, the year before the mare; and that his oldest brother, Simeon Martin, raised a gelding, foaled the same year with the mare, that was a noted runner, beating everything in that region ; and that these foals were all got by the Hawkins Horse, while kept by the Woods at Frost's Village. Mr. Clark, a leading merchant of Waterloo, remembers that very excellent stock was left by the Hawkins Horse in that vicinity. His stock about Stanstead proving extremely good, he was bought and taken back there, probably in 1832, and was kept there again by John Pope. This fact is attested by Mr. Holmes of Derby Line, a nephew of John Pope, who remembers the horse in his uncle's hands, and by others. At some time after this the horse was taken north, and we have not traced him further. SONS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 129 Mr. Linsley (''Morgan Horses", page 147) thus describes this Hawkins Horse : " He was a jet black, about fifteen hands high ; not quite so compact as his sire, a little taller ; and a very little heavier. His shoulders, back and loins, were excellent. He carried his head high, had a resolute and vigorous style of action, and was undoubtedly the fastest horse of the six ; he was a smart trotter and a good runner. His eye was a little fierce in its expression, and he was inclined to be cross, and not so tractable as the rest. He was one of the best acting and finest looking horses under the saddle ever in the State". Mrs. Graves of St. Johnsbury, daughter of Olney Hawkins, states that she remembers well her father's horse, son of the Justin Morgan, and that he went to Canada about 1820, and that her uncle saw him three years afterward, and astonished his keeper by going in by the side of the horse, which was then very cross. Mr. Milton Martin says : " He was the fastest running horse in Canada. The Hawkins Horse's colts were running horses, and they could trot, too. Some of his colts were amblers. He was black, no white". Mr. Holmes of Derby Line says: "The Hawkins Horse's colts which I knew were black, or dark. Many were kept stallions. There was nothing in this region that could run with two black mares got by him. They were trotters, too. He was a black horse, per- haps nine hundred and seventy-five pounds, lowish built, thick-set, good action. His colts were of that character. I do not remember o but one pacer by him". Mr. M. Mitchell of Waterloo, Province of Quebec, born 1802, said: "The Black Snake was very much like the Black Hawks. The Hawkins Horse was a blocky-built horse, like a Vermont Morgan. I saw Black Snake when I was ten to fourteen years old. The Hawkins Horse went to Frelighsburgh. Black Snake was at St. Armand". The Hawkins Horse had a great reputation for speed, both as runner and trotter, before he left St. Johnsbury; this reputation he kept up as long as we were able to trace him. He also kept up his reputation for bad temper ; and he was always, after Stephen Haw- kins parted with him, known as the Hawkins Horse. It will be seen that he had many of the characteristics of the thoroughbred, making it very probable that his dam was of that blood. The reputa- tion of the stock of the Hawkins Horse in Canada, where he passed many of the productive years of his life, was very high. These horses are spoken of to-day, by all who remember them, with enthu- siasm. They were among, if not the first, fast trotting horses in- troduced into that part of Canada where he stood, and were also fast I3o THE MORGAN HORSE runners. They were apparently as popular about Stanstead and Waterloo as were the Woodburys in the White River valley, or the Black Hawks in Addison county, Vermont. The imaginary line sep- arating Vermont and Canada did not operate as a barrier, and Mor- gan horses were as plentiful and as popular north of that line as south of it. And there can be no doubt but that the superiority of the horses of the country extending north and west from Stanstead is largely due to the blood of the -Morgan horses so early and widely diffused through that region by Weasel, Black Morgan, the Hawkins Horse and others. REVENGE was bred by Mr. Goss, and foaled in 1815 the property oi Cyrus Moore, both of Claremont, New Hampshire. Mr. Linsley says : " He was a dark bay or light brown. When his coat was fresh and new, it verged on black, but at other times was a dark bay. He was about fourteen and a half hands high, and weighed fully one thousand pounds. His dam was a light brown with a stripe in the face, and white hind feet; she was a smart driver, but low headed. She was mixed gaited. Her sire is not known ; her dam was bay, with white in the face, owned by Mr. Ball' of Unity, New Hampshire. She was a pacer and very smart ; her breeding is not known, but she was called at that time a ' Narragansett Pacer'. Revenge was sold the fall after he was two years old to Nehemiah Rice; two or three years later to Mr. Tyler, and kept in the vicinity of Claremont, until nine years old. Mr. Moses Wheeler of Claremont then purchased a half interest in him, and the next year purchased the other half. One year later he was sold, and had after that many owners. He was kept near the Connecticut River, at Claremont, Croyden, Cornish, Weathersfield and intermediate points. In 1835 or 1836, he was bought by Albert Billings of Claremont, and died his property in April, 1837. "Revenge had less action than either Woodbury or Sherman ; but he had a very close knit form, with excellent back, loins, hips, and limbs ; his chest and shoulders were not so fine as some of the others, nor did he have a very smooth, easy gait, but he never paced, nor hitched. He had plenty of life, great endurance, and, as one of his owners said to us, 'he was an ugly customer to getaway from on the road'. His stock were dark bay or brown, and occasionally chestnut. They had good size, were strong, hardy and enduring; generally free drivers, but had not as easy action, nor as good style as the stock from the others ; and some of them would both pace and trot. He was perfectly sound. We know of but one of his colts which was kept a stallion. SONS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 131 It was a dark chestnut, about fifteen hands high, and weighed about ten hundred and fifty pounds. He was owned, in 1853, by John Clark, at Dunham, Canada East, and we think was raised by him at Windsor, Vermont, where he formerly lived. This horse had an ex- cellent, open gait, fine style, and was called the fastest horse in his neighborhood ". F. A. Weir of Walpole, New Hampshire, says : " Revenge was the sire of many trotters. I sold seven of his colts in one year, and five of them could trot fast". The dam of the celebrated stallion, Henry Clay, foaled 1837 and founder of the celebrated Clay family of horses, was the fast trotting mare Surrey, or Lady Surrey, that came from, and is sup- posed to have been bred in, Surrey, New Hampshire. This mare was foaled about 1824, was of Morgan size and quality, and it has been said was got by Revenge. We spent two days at Surrey trying to trace this mare, not succeeding; but F. A. Weir of Walpole in- formed us that Revenge was kept for stock at both Walpole and Surrey, and the following advertisement from the " Bellows Falls Intelligencer" makes it certain that he was kept at Walpole, adjoin- ing Surrey, at about the right time to have got this mare : "The noted horse, Revenge, will stand at the stable of Mr. Ha- vens, in Westminster, Mondays and Tuesdays; at Mr. Holland's stable, in Walpole, Wednesdays and Thursdays ; at the stable of Edward Lee, in Springfield, on Fridays, and at the stable of subscri- ber the remainder of the week through the season, at fifteen dollars. JOHN R. GIBSON. Rockingham, Vermont, May 10, 1823". Accounts of the Gordon Horse, Randolph Horse, Nichols Horse, Blazing Star, Brandywine, Fox (Corbin's), Highlander and Defiance will be found in their regular places among the pedigrees at the latter part of this book. We come now to the three sons of Justin Morgan that have been most widely known: Sherman, Bulrush and Woodbury Mor- gan, foaled in the order named. These three horses will always com- mand the admiration of every student of horse history. Born amid the mountains of a new State, among a scattered race of pioneers that were 'stout and poor'; sprung from dams whose pedigrees could never be definitely traced ; reared to toil and kept most of their lives in obscurity ; yet such was the inherent vigor of their blood that each produced a family of horses that, as roadsters and for the general purposes of business, have never been surpassed ; and from i32 THE MORGAN HORSE each has sprung one or more famous families of trotters. Of no other horse that lived in the last century can this be said. The most noted other sire of that time from which speed has come is Mes- senger. Messenger was bred in England, foaled 178—, and imported to this country 1788. He had all the prestige that attends the im- ported racer ; he was handled by the best horsemen of the day ; and he was mated with mares of the choicest blood. He left probably over fifty entire sons in this country, perhaps many more, yet only one of them, Mambrino, founded .a trotting family. Messenger got one producer of a trotting family out of fifty or more ; Justin Morgan got at least three, probably four, out of one-third that number. SHERMAN MORGAN was foaled about 1808, (Linsley says 1808 or 1809); and was bred by James Sherman of Lyndon, Vermont. His dam was bought by James Sherman of Dr. Fisk of Cranston, Rhode Island, and taken to Lyndon by Mr. Sherman when he moved there in 1799 from Rhode Island. This is the statement that George Sherman, son of James, gave to Mr. Linsley ; and he also said : " She was a chestnut, of good size, high-spirited, and an elegant animal. We called her of Spanish breed". Mr. Linsley adds the following description : " It is certain she was a fine animal. She was chest- nut, with three white feet and a white stripe in the face. Her head was good, ears small, neck light and rather long; not very com- pactly formed and never carried much flesh. She carried her head high, was a spirited traveler and an excellent saddle beast. She was very pleasant tempered and worked kindly in all places". This remark of George Sherman, that they always called her of Spanish breed, is the only suggestion as to her blood that is worthy of notice. Her fineness of finish, high quality, perfect docility and great intelligence, qualities which she has transmitted through her famous son to his entire family, give force to the suggestion of her Spanish origin. The horses of Spain are largely derived from across the narrow straits of Morocco, the home of the Barb, of which the Godolphin Arabian was doubtless a specimen. Of the horses to be seen in the City of Mexico at the present day, some bear a striking resemblance to the Morgans of the Sherman line. We noticed the same, too, of the best specimens of native stock we saw in California. "Mr. George Sherman", says Mr. Linsley, "is a man whose character for the most unwavering honesty has been long- and thor- oughly established where he is known". Sherman Morgan is described by Mr. Linsley as follows : " Sher- man was a bright chestnut, about thirteen and three-quarters hands SONS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 133 high, and weighed nine hundred and twenty-five pounds. His off hind leg was white from the foot half way to the hock, and he had a small white stripe in the face ; his head was lean and well shaped, ears small and fine, eyes inclined to be small, but full, prominent and lively ; his legs had some long hairs upon the back side, but were broad, flat and sinewy. He had a capital chest, with the breast- bone very prominent ; the shoulders were large and well placed, the neck excellent, the mane and tail full, but not remarkably heavy. His hips were long and deep, the loins broad and muscular, but he was a little hollow or ' sway-backed ' ; still, no suspicion of a weak back could attach to him, or he would have broken down under the rough treatment he recived in early life". Mr. Lyman Clark, Marshfield, Vermont, born in 1807, said to us : "I saw old Sherman and recollect just how he looked ; a low- ish, handsome horse, with strong limbs and good neck, well put on, a good, solid-made horse; seems as though he was dark chestnut". Mr. George Sherman, from whom Mr. Linsley received much of his information, was married in 1811, when Sherman Morgan was, as he thinks, two or three years old ; and his father let him take the colt to use that summer, and he did use him a good deal. "When four years old", continues Mr. Linsley, " Mr. Sherman put him to hard work, and, though for about two months in the spring of each year he worked but little, yet the remainder of the year his labor was very severe. Mr. Sherman was a hard-working man, and animals under his charge had few opportunities to rest. Most of the year the horse was kept constantly at work on the farm, much of which he helped 'to clear up'. In the winter Mr. Sherman usually ran a team steadily from Lyndon, Vermont, to Portland, Maine. For several years this team consisted of this horse and a half-brother, sired by Justin Mor- gan, a year older and a little larger than Sherman. Mr. Sherman was not a man to be outdone at drawing or driving, and he was always ready to match his team against any he met, either to draw or run, for a trifling wager. His 'little team' became famous at every inn from Lyndon to Portland, and after a time the teamsters that knew them were afraid to match horses of any size against them. In the spring, when the sleighing became poor, the men who had been companions through the winter in the severe labor of teaming across the country, would often congregate at the village taverns, to spin yarns of their simple but rough adventures, engage in wrestling, running foot and horse races, drawing matches, and many games in- vented to test the speed or strength of either men or horses. i34 THE MORGAN HORSE At Lyndon, the usual way of drawing was to attach a horse to a sled, fill it with men, and draw the load up a steep hill near the tavern. 'When each his utmost strength had shown', Sherman would add a small boy to the largest load and commence the ascent, well satisfied if he could gain two or three feet at a pull, for nothing discouraged his horse, and it was difficult to load him so that he could not move a little. These facts are perfectly well known to many persons now living at Lyndon, and we mention them, not from any intrinsic inter- est they may possess, but, having said that Sherman was slightly hollow-backed, we thought it necessary to show that, if so, his back was by no means weak". Some time before 1819 Mr. Sherman sold the horse to George A. Miller of Lyndon, who kept him two years and sold him back to Mr. Sherman, who sold him, in 1819, to S. C. Gibb, Littleton, N. H., who, Linsley states, owned him one and kept him three seasons. The following advertisement in the "Farmers' Cabinet" of Amherst, New Hampshire, of May 10, 1823, a copy of which we found at the New Hampshire Historical library at Concord, shows that the horse then had another name, and probably another owner : "Lord North: That noted horse, Lord North (otherwise called the Sherman Horse), formerly owned in Lyndon, Vermont, will be kept the ensuing season at the following places: " On Monday in each week, at Captain Jackman's stable in Goffs- town till 2 o'clock, p. m. ; from 5 p. m. on Mondays, till 2, on Tues- days, at Rogers' stable in Hopkinton Village ; from 5 p. m. on Tuesdays till 2 p. m. on Wednesdays, at John Parker's stable in Warner; from 5 p. m. on Wednesdays, till 2 p. m. on Thursdays, at Mr. Bailey's stable near the South Meeting house in Sutton ; from 5 p. m. on Thursdays till 8 a. m. on Fridays, at John Raymond's stable in Bradford ; from 12, noon, on Fridays till 12, noon, on Saturdays, at Hillsborough Bridge. "The Lord North was sired by the old Morgan Horse, well known at Randolph, Danville, Montpelier and through the centre and north part of Vermont. Some of his stock are among the finest horses in New England, and bear the highest prices of any breed of horses which are offered in Boston market. Enquiries may be made at Spurr's and Soper's livery stables in Boston, where some of the stock may be seen. The famous mare formerly owned by Adams 6 Redfield in Londonderry, and sold in Boston for two hundred and fifty dollars, was sired by the same horse, and may be seen at Spurr's stable. The Alhambra, in Spain 134 Brimfield, Massachusetts Lancaster, New Hampshire NEW ENGLAND SCENERY 135 SOJVS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 135 "The Lord North is not exceeded in points, speed and figure by any horse in New England, and resembles the old Morgan Horse in size and color. Terms are stated in hand-bills. JOHN LANGDON. Goffstown, May 5". He passed to John Buckminster of Danville, Vermont, who kept him at Danville and vicinity until 1829, when he was purchased by John Bellows of Lancaster, New Hampshire. This advertisement of 1828, from the "Danville North Star", will be of interest: "Notice: For the information of those who may be gratified therewith, the noted and celebrated Dutch, Morgan, or Sherman Horse (which is one and the same) will stand for the use of mares the ensuing season on St. Johnsbury Plain on Fridays and Saturdays of each week, and the residue of the week at S. West's on Danville Green. J. BUCKMINSTER. May 2, 1828". The season of 1829 he was kept at Littleton, New Hampshire, in charge of Stephen C. Gibbs ; in 1830 he was kept at Dover and vicinity; in 1831 he was at the Ten Hills Farm of Colonel Samuel Jacques, atCharlestown, Massachusetts; in 1832 he was kept by John Bellows at Dover, Durham, South Berwick and Rochester Plains, New Hampshire; in 1833 (according to Mr. Linsley) at Lancaster, New Hampshire; and in 1834 at Dover and vicinity. He died at John Bellows' stable, in Lancaster, on the 9th of January, 1835. The cause of his death is unknown. The location of Sherman Morgan his last two seasons is given as above by Mr. Linsley, but there is strong reason for believing that the seasons of 1833 and 1834 are reversed by mistake. From papers and diaries of John Bellows, who died December 14, 1888, obtained by and now in possession of S. W. Parlin, Boston, we extract the following : "CHARLESTOWN, APRIL II, 1831. "Memorandum of agreement made this day between John Bel- lows of Lancaster, New Hampshire, on the one part, and Samuel Jacques of Charlestown, Massachusetts, on the other part, witnesseth, viz. : John Bellows agrees to place his Sherman Morgan horse, so called, in said Jacques' Ten Hills Stock Farm in said Charlestown for the season of 1831, commencing the 1st of May and ending the 1st of August, for the use of mares on the following conditions, viz. : If said Bellows attends the horse himself during the said season, he the said Bellows is to have two-thirds of the earnings of the said horse, 136 THE MORGAN HORSE and the said Jacques one-third, which is to be in full for the board of said Bellows and the keep of the horse for the season of three months. "But if the said Bellows should prefer to place the said horse with said Jacques, and not attend him himself, in that case the said Jacques is to keep the said horse and furnish a suitable groom, and pay over to said Bellows three-fifths of the earnings of said horse free of all expense to said Bellows. It is further agreed by said Jacques that he will make all proper exertion for the interest of the above concern, and that he will not secure at the Ten Hills Stock Farm any other entire horse to the injury of the above-named horse. Said Jacques is to render to the said Bellows a just account of all mares covered by said horse at the end of the season, and deliver over to said Bellows his proportion of the several outstanding de- mands. SAMUEL JACQUES", JOHN BELLOWS". "The stud book of Sherman Morgan", Mr. Parlin writes, "shows that the horse received thirty-seven patrons during the season that he stood at Mr. Jacques' Ten Hills Stock Farm. A letter before us, written to Mr. Bellows in the winter of 1832, shows that Mr. Jacques made an effort to secure Sherman Morgan again for the sea- son of 1832. It is very fortunate for the horsemen of America that he did not succeed, for in that case Black Hawk, founder of the best family of gentlemen's roadsters that ever existed, would never have been known ". John Bellows issued the following poster in 1832 : "Old Sherman Morgan may be found by those who wish to procure more of his choice and highly valuable stock, so extensively known and univers- ally admired. The subscriber has the pleasure to announce that this prodigy of nature exhibits more of the sprightliness, soundness and vigor of youth than perhaps any animal now extant, that has survived twenty northern winters. This he can boast of as well as many extraordinary feats, which these limits will not allow to detail. Persons wishing to gratify curiosity or interest will find this rare animal at the following places, viz. : At the stable of the Dover Hotel Mondays and Wednesdays ; atKelley's, Durham, Tuesdays ; at Copp's, South Berwick, Thursdays ; at Great Falls, Fridays ; at Bussell's, Rochester Plains, Saturdays. These are the only terms on which this stallion will be let to mares : One dollar to the groom, fourteen dol- lars to insure a foal, and eight dollars a leap. Mares parted with considered with foal. A discount of ten per cent, to any person putting two or more mares. Pasturage will be procured and atten- tion will be paid to mares sent from a distance, by John Bellows." SOWS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 137 The date "April 29, 1832," is affixed to the bottom of the bill in ink in Mr. Bellows' handwriting. At the bottom of the Sherman Morgan poster occurs the follow- ing in print : " N. B. One of Morgan's best stock may be seen at and on the above-mentioned times and places, and put at less terms than the old horse ; those who wish to improve this opportunity, after yielding a little to the lapse of time, may be accommodated". (This last is Flint Morgan). The old papers of Mr. Bellows show that twenty-seven living foals resulted from the services of Sherman Morgan the season of 1833, the year after Black Hawk was got by him. The names of the parties who owned the foals are given. The stud book of Mr. Bel- lows shows that Sherman Morgan had fifty-seven patrons in 1834, but nothing is said in regard to the number of foals which they pro- duced. The following account of the death of that remarkable animal appears in Mr. Bellows' s handwriting, among the papers which were lately secured : "Old Sherman Morgan Horse, deceased on the 9th of January, 1835 ; cause unknown. Was watered and fed at 10 a. m., and ap- peared as vigorous and well as at any previous time the owner ever saw him. At I o'clock he was discovered to be dead and partly cold, as though life had been extinct some time, and from appearance without much struggle, as the straw on which he lay had been but little removed. Up to the day of his death he manifested but slightly the advance of years, exhibiting a sound constitution in every particu- lar, without blemish or the least infirmity, being able to chew his food with the same ease as when young. He was foaled in 1810 or I Si I [1808] at Lyndon, Vermont, and bred by James Sherman, Esq., from whom he derived his first name. Sherman was sired by the old Goss Morgan. From both he took the name Sherman Mor- gan. He died at Lancaster, New Hampshire, the above-named time, the property of John Bellows, by whom he had been kept five seasons previous, and from his distinguished reputation, being considered the best sire of his time in New England, he yielded a handsome yearly income to his possessor." Mr. Linsley closes his sketch of Sherman Morgan with these words: "Sherman had not so bold and resolute a style of action, and was not so nervous and high tempered as Woodbury; nor was he, in the language of the stable, so well 'finished up'; but he was 138 THE MORGAN HORSE more tractable, was exceedingly spirited, and a keen, rapid driver, possessed of great powers of endurance, a free and noble spirit, that needed neither whip nor spur, and courage that never flagged". In his discussion of " Different Families", Mr. Linsley says: "We think the Shermans are generally smaller than the Woodburys. They are more inclined to be hollow-backed, but their backs are very short, with wide, full and exceedingly muscular loins, so that, although some of them may be called hollow-backed, yet we venture to say that none of them were ever known to have weak backs. They are deeper in the chest, with more prominent breast-bone, and lighter quarters than the Woodburys. Their limbs are superlatively good ; and, although they oftener have more long hair upon them than the Woodburys, yet underneath this hair will invariably be found a hard, sinewy limb, free from wind-galls or any other unsoundness. They have a shorter gait than the Bulrushes, and do not raise their feet as high in traveling. They have not so bold, eager and commanding a style of action as the Woodburys, but we think they have a better temper for driving, and full as much spirit; and nothing can exceed their courage on the road. They have a more rapid walk than either of the other families, and an exceedingly short, nervous step that creeps up the longest hills at a rate that would surprise a person un- acquainted with them. They are easily broken to harness, and, though spirited, are very gentle and tractable, and may be easily taught to stand, without fastening, wherever left. A little circum- stance that came under our own observation will illustrate this. Sitting one evening in the hotel at St. Johnsbury, Vermont, and talk- ing with a conductor of the Passumpsic railroad, we said to him that we understood he had a very smart little mare of the Sherman fam- ily. He said he had, that she was out in the street before a cutter, and as the night was not very dark, proposed that we should go out and look at her. We went out upon the steps, but did not notice any animal about the premises. However, our friend commenced calling 'Nelly! Nelly! here Nelly'! and sure enough the mare, who was standing on the opposite side of the street, and some six or seven rods from us, pricked up her ears, and immediately came over to the place where we were standing. We jumped into the sleigh and took a turn down the street, the mare proving herself as spirited as she was gentle. " The Shermans, like the Woodburys, are generally chestnut or bay, chestnut being the prevailing color, light chestnut being more common in this than the other families. A white stripe or star in the face, and white hind feet are common. SOWS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 139 "We think the Shermans have the best action in harness, and the Woodburys the best action under the saddle, or moving without saddle or harness at the end of a bridle rein. Persons unaccustomed to use horses except under the saddle may not understand in what this difference consists, and we will endeavor to explain. To ap- pear well upon a parade or fair ground, under the saddle, or led, the horse must have a good figure with abundance of muscle, the head must be carried high, and he must be overflowing with life and nerv- ous energy, that keeps him constantly in graceful and active motion. His movements are comparatively unrestrained. If he champs his bit, and tosses his mane with excitement, it will not injure his ap- pearance, provided he exhibits a pleasant temper, and yields cheer- fully and readily to the authority of his master. "To appear well in harness, the horse must have a figure equally good, the same muscular development, and exhibit a high spirit, but he must have less eagerness, he must have submitted him- self perfectly to the control of his driver. He must carry his head high, but he must keep it constantly and easily in that position ; he must move directly forward without any prancing or sidelong motion and must move invariably in a walk or trot; in short, he must be a perfect and beautiful machine, guided by a touch and controlled by a word. If touched with the whip, he must not bound with fright or ill temper, nor if possessed with the right temper will he fail to notice it ; on the contrary, he will not soon forget it, and the driver who ventures to administer the blow will find ample evidence, in the in- creased and steady pull upon the reins, that it did not pass unnoticed. While thus moving like some beautiful machine, and submitting wholly to control, every movement must appear easy and natural, and there should be no appearance of restraint, just as well as the attitudes and gestures of the finished actor appear spontaneous and natural, when in fact they are all studied and artificial. "Black Hawk and Green Mountain Morgan will illustrate our meaning. They are both fine specimens of the race, and are both widely and favorably known. Aside from his speed, the reputation of Black Hawk as an elegant driving horse is too thoroughly estab- lished to be in any way increased or diminished by what we might say of him, and we refer to him only to illustrate our meaning. He comes nearer to our beau ideal of a perfect driving horse than any other animal we have ever seen. Possessed of abundance of spirit and life, there is also manifest a quietness and evenness of temper that make him under all circumstances perfectly controlable ; his step is nervous 140 THE MORGAN HORSE and elastic, but no unnecessary steps are taken. His style of move- ment is bold and fearless, while every motion is instinct with grace. But he has not that exuberant, overflowing and irrepressible spirit of action that prevents him from being a moment at rest. Green Mountain Morgan is rarely if ever exhibited in harness, and prop- erly enough, for although we have no doubt he is a fine driving horse, yet it is not in that capacity he appears to the best advantage. While under the saddle, or led by the bridle rein, in style of movement, in muscular development, in spirit and action, he need not fear com- parison with any horse living. There is a boldness in his style, a fire in his eye, and an unceasing play of every muscle, that once seen by a person having any taste for a horse will never be forgotten. In boldness and gracefulness of style he resembles Grey Eagle of Kentucky, but has more fire in his eye, and is more unceasing in his action." It cannot be said of Sherman that he was unappreciated in his lifetime. John Buckminster of Danville, who owned him for sev- eral years, was a very stirring horseman. From Buckminster he passed to John Bellows, the thrifty and rising young horseman of New Hampshire, who had him the last five seasons of his life, and stood him at fifteen dollars, an especially large price at that time for that region. There seems to be no exaggeration in the obituary written by John Bellows, where he states that Sherman Morgan was " considered the best sire of his time in New England". The adver- tisements of his stock, while he was yet alive, teem with allusions to his known superiority that would have been absurd if such had not been his acknowledged standing before the public. For instance, his former owner, S. C. Gibbs, advertised in the " Danville North Star", in 1831, the young Sherman horse to stand at David Goss' in St. Johnsbury, and Mr. Rice's at Danville Green, and adds: "N. B. — This animal was raised by David Goss and warranted to be a true son of the wonderful Sherman Horse". To give a more accurate idea of the size and color of the get of Sherman Morgan we have taken the list of his entire sons as given by Mr. Linsley, and, without change or addition, ascertained the average height and weight, so far as given, as well as the color. (We do the same with respect to Woodbury and Bulrush.) Mr. Linsley gives twenty entire sons of Sherman Morgan, the color of nineteen of which is given. Of these, eight were chestnut, five bay, three gray, two black, and one brown. The heights of sixteen are given, varying from the thirteen and a half hands of Morgan Rat to SOJTS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 141 the fifteen and a half hands of Newell's Grey. The weights of fifteen are given, between the limits of eight hundred and fifty and eleven hundred and fifty pounds. The average height is fourteen and three- fourths hands precisely, and the average weight ten hundred and twenty-two pounds, being a hand more in height and a hundred pounds more in weight than the sire, as stated by the same authority. The get of Sherman Morgan were early noted for speed, and the progeny of his sons were found in the trotting contests of long ago. His son Whalebone got Blackstone Belle 2 128^, and Pollard Mor- gan, that in turn got Lewiston Boy, sire of Despatch 2:24^; Pol- lard Morgan also got the dam of Whalebone Knox, sire of two in the two-thirty list. Flint Morgan, son and stable companion of Sherman Morgan, got Napoleon Morgan, sire of the dam of Fearnaught 2:23^, a record which, when taken, in 1868, was the fastest stallion record in the world. Billy Root, another son of Sherman Morgan, got, from a daugh- ter of the same sire (if the records are right), the handsome bay stallion, Red Jacket, sire of the great brood mare, Minna, that produced Kentucky Wilkes 2:21 1/4, and the dam of Lizzie Wilkes 2522^; Red Jacket also got Ida May, grandam of So-So 2:17^. Red Jacket is also sire of the grandam of Red Wilkes that at nineteen years of age has fifty-four performers to his credit in the two- thirty list, eleven of which have records better than 2 :2O, including the great campaigner Prince Wilkes 2:14^, whose dam was by a grandson of Sherman Morgan. Besides these, the blood of Sher- man Morgan, through other channels than Black Hawk, is a potent factor in many pedigrees. But the most prominent son of Sherman Morgan was Black Hawk, whose history is given in Chapter VII. The correspondent of "The Albany Cultivator", August 2d, 1845, writing from Vermont, says: "The immediate descendants of the original Morgan horse were numerous, and remarkable for their good qualities and striking resemblance to each other. Indeed, so remarkable was their similarity that they were readily recognized by ordinary observers; even when crossed with the common country stock their peculiarities were often obvious to the second and third generation. A horse called Sherman Morgan, got by the old Mor- gan and owned by Mr. Bellows of Bellows Falls, Vermont, is gener- ally believed to have done more towards giving character and fame to the Morgan stock than any other horse, not excepting the first of that race and name. This horse lived to a great age, and his progeny, 142 THE MORGAN HORSE which were very numerous, were of unrivalled excellence as roadsters. Of the blood of the Sherman Morgan on the side of his dam we know nothing, but hope to obtain more particulars in future. In 1831 this horse was kept by Colonel Samuel Jacques at the Ten Hill Farms, Charlestown, Massachusetts. Colonel Jacques considered him a horse having a rare combination of valuable qualities. Though we never had the good fortune to see Sherman Morgan, we saw many of his foals, and, without disparaging other horses, can safely say that they were, as road horses, superior to any other stock with which we have been acquainted. It will be recollected that Mr. Hill's horse, Black Hawk, spoken of in our June number, is a son of Sherman Morgan. Perhaps there is not at the present time in existence a horse which possesses more of the characteristics for which the Mor- gans are justly esteemed than Black Hawk. He is certainly a noble and beautiful animal, and we cannot but think well calculated to produce a highly valuable stock. We say this from conviction, and with no other motive whatever than a wish to benefit the public " WOODBURY MORGAN (sometimes called the Burbank Horse, and in Windsor county the Walker Horse) was bred by Lyman Wight of Tunbridge, Orange county, Vermont. Mr. Linsley says: " He was foaled in the latter part of May, 1 8 1 6 ; he was sired by Justin Morgan ; his dam was of unknown blood. At the time the colt was foaled, Mr. Lyman Wight was a young man about eighteen years old, and the dam belonged to his father, William Wight, who had loaned her to his son for the purpose of raising a colt. She was five years old when the colt was born. Mr. Wight purchased her, the year before, of Major John Moulton of Bethel, Vermont, who brought her into that town. She was large, being over fifteen hands high, and weighed about eleven hundred pounds; she was of a deep bay color with black legs, mane and tail, a small white spot in the forehead, and no other marks. She was not very compactly made, and was rather flat-ribbed ; but she had an excellent chest, fine shoulders and hips, and excellent limbs. Her head was very fine, ears good, and mane and tail beautiful. She carried her head high, was a very free, spirited driver, and was called fast at that time. She both paced and trotted, generally starting in the former gait, and after going a short distance changing it for a trot. When trotting she made a fine appearance, and going fast at- tracted much attention. She was a very fast walker." Miss Sarah Woodbury, daughter of David Woodbury, now of Bethel, says: "Father bought Woodbury Morgan, I think when two years old, for a sleigh valued at fifty dollars. I think it was after Scenes in Bethel, Vermont. \Voodbury Farm in the distance SONS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 143 father bought his farm that he bought the colt. [Bethel records show that he bought the farm June 2, 1818.] My parents were married March 19, 1822. I heard my mother say that not long after their marriage father took her to see a sick brother and drove Woodbury Morgan. Father broke him and sold him to Uncle John Woodbury. He was bred by Lyman Wight and I am sure was not foaled as early as 1812, and I think not before 1816. I never heard of any of Woodbury Morgan's colts pacing, though some by his son, the Babbitt Horse, did". Mr. Linsley continues: "The autumn after the colt was foaled, about the usual time of weaning, Mr. Wight sold him to David Woodbury of Bethel, Vermont, for fifty dollars. Mr. Wood- bury kept him until grown, and sold him to his brother John. John had a taste for good horses, and in his hands the horse began to be a little known. He kept him at Bethel and neighboring towns a few years, and sold him to Ebenezer Parkhurst, who kept him in the same neighborhood until March, 1826, when he sold him to Simon Smith and William Walker of Hartland, Vermont, for five hundred dollars. " Soon after this Messrs. Smith and Walker dissolved partner- ship, Mr. Walker keeping Woodbury. Mr. Walker had a passion for horses ; he saw and appreciated the remarkable features of the Justin Morgan and his stock, and took much pains to bring them into notice ; but, like many a pioneer in a new business, he could not make it pay, and being a man of small means, he was compelled to 'sacrifice his horse', as he terms it, 'for the insignificant sum of four hundred dollars', and sold him to Peter Burbank, Esq., of New- bury, Vermont. Mr. Burbank was a lawyer, and not a farmer or breeder, but he was fond of horses and had a discriminating eye for their good points, and having seen the Woodbury at Keene, New Hampshire, he (in his own words) 'fell in love with him at first sight' . Fearing to trust to his own judgment alone, he consulted Jesse Johnson of Bradford, Vermont, a gentleman who not only possesses excellent taste as to the proper style and general figure of a fine horse, but has also that close, critical eye, that seems almost at a glance to take in all the minute defects of form that a more care- less observer might fail to discover. Mr. Johnson did not fail to perceive the extraordinary merits of the horse, and advised Mr. Burbank to purchase him, which he did the 2Oth of May, 1830. From this time until 1836, he was taken charge of by Jesse Johnson & Brothers, and kept at their place in Bradford, Vermont, during 144 THE MORGAN HORSE the winter and latter part of the summer and autumn of each year, and one or two years during all the seasons. During the years 1830 and 1831, he remained at their stable at Bradford. The season of 1832, he was kept at Keene, New Hampshire; the season of 1833, he was kept at Burlington, Vermont, and the seasons of 1835 and 1836, he was kept at Bradford and vicinity. In September, 1836, Mr. Burbank having died, the administrators of his estate sold him to Norman Baglee of Alabama, who took him to Gainesville in that State, where he died in 1838, being twenty-two years old". No trace has come to us of any stock that he got in Alabama, and we have been very credibly informed that he had a leg broken in being taken off the boat on his arrival there, an accident which caused his death. This is the account of his death that Mr. Linsley gives, and may be correct, but we have been informed by parties that thought they knew, that he died from the effects of a broken leg, which he received on his arrival at Gainesville, in disembarkment. Mr. Linsley states that he was shipped from Boston on board a small sailing vessel. The following accurate description of Woodbury Morgan is from Mr. Linsley's work: "Woodbury was fourteen and three-quarter hands high, and weighed from nine hundred and eighty-eight pounds to ten hundred and forty pounds ; he was weighed several times, and these two statements of his weight, at different times, are the extremes. Many persons who have frequently seen him weighed say they never knew him to weigh more than ten hundred and thirty, nor less than ten hundred and fifteen pounds. He was a dark, rich chestnut; his off hind leg was white from the foot half-way to the hock, and he had a white stripe in his face, beginning at the edge of the upper lip, filling the space between the nostrils, and extending more than half- way to his eyes. His mane was not very thick, or long, and was lighter than either of the others, still it was full. His tail was cut off when a colt, and left about ten inches long; the hair was very full, and curly; both mane and tail were about the same color as his body. The hair on the body was fine, short and soft. He was close and compactly built, with heavy quarters and deep flanks ; his chest was good and the shoulders finely shaped ; he had a short back, and broad, sinewy loins. His legs had some long hairs on the back side, but were well-shaped, somewhat larger than Sherman's and not so large as Bulrush's. His head was small and lean, with a fine, firm muzzle, the nostrils very large and full, face straight, very wide be- tween the eyes, which were dark hazel, very large and prominent, SONS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 145 and showed no white around the edge of the lid. His ears were small and fine, but rather short, and set somewhat wider apart than many would consider consistent with perfect beauty. His style of action was bold and resolute, and his temperament was so nervous, that when taken out with a bridle it was almost impossible to keep him still. He was a good driver and appeared well in harness ; but he appeared to the best advantage under the saddle. Militia colonels and gener- als were eager to ride him, and no 'musters' or reviews could pass without his being seen; in his case, to be seen was to be admired. His disposition was pleasant and playful. * * * * "Woodbury was the largest of these horses, and possessed in a greater degree the bold, fearless and showy style of their sire ; he was more nervous, and less tractable than Sherman, better under the saddle, not so pleasant in harness, and, we are inclined to think, hardly as good a roadster. His form was more symmetrical than either of the others ; his breast was not so full and prominent as Sherman's ; he was deeper in the flanks and better quartered. No horse ever had less fear. Martial music only roused him, the firing of guns in no way disturbed him, waving flags and gay uniforms seemed hardly able to attract from him a single glance, and he moved about as if he was himself the principal object of attraction and the cause of all the attending excitement and display". This fact is confirmed by a letter of the venerable Moses E. Cheney, long a leading citizen of Barnard, Vermont, who writes from Troy, Dakota, as follows: "Col. Jacob Kent rode the old Woodbury in 1836 on muster day at Xewbury, Vermont, then owned at Wells River. To all appearance that horse would as soon tread a man under as not, that did not stand aloof. Soon after the Newbury muster, Woodbury went to the State of Alabama". In his letter of July 22, 1857, to J. P. Kidder, Mr. John Wood- bury says : " As to the stock of old \Voodbury I can speak from actual knowledge, and think his stock superior to any ever raised in Vermont. Many valuable studs were raised from him, viz. : Gifford ; Eagle, owned by Farnham of Tunbridge, arid sold to Foster, then of Barre, and died soon after, said to have been poisoned ; he was a horse of great merit ; the Gen. Hibbard, the Nichols, the Bliss, the Babbitt, the Putnam Horse, and one owned by S. Danforth of Barnard. I owned said horse from the age of seven to twelve years (four years), and the above studs were sired in that time; and many others were sired after I sold him, in Hartland and about Wells River". i46 THE MORGAN HORSE Woodbury Morgan is advertised for the season of 1830 by Abel Denney, to stand at Barnard, Bethel and Woodstock, Vermont, the description and terms being as follows: "The celebrated horse, Morgan, formerly owned by E. Parkhurst and John Woodbury, and afterwards by William Walker and Smith of Hartland. Terms : Ten dollars, and no deviation". The date is May 10, 1830. He is advertised, 1829, under name of Young Morgan, in aW'ood- stock, Vermont, paper, to stand at Hartford, Quechee and White River : "The subscriber thinks it not necessary to give a long description of this noted horse, as he is well known to be the best horse in this sec- tion of the country. Terms, four to five dollars. WILLIAM WALKER. Hartland, April 24, 1829". The following advertisement appears in the "Vermont Courier" : " Morgan Horse at auction. The well-known Morgan stallion, called the Walker Horse, and lately the property of P. Burbank, will be sold at auction at Wells River village in Newbury, the 5th of May next. J. KENT, JR., Auctioneer. Wells River, April, 1836". The only other advertisement that we have seen of Woodbury Morgan is in the "New Hampshire Sentinel", published at Keene, in 1832, in which season Jesse Johnson advertises him under the name of Young Morgan, to stand at Keene and Walpole at ten dol- lars. The advertisement states that " he is own brother to Sherman Morgan, that was kept at Charlestown, Massachusetts, the last two seasons". This gives us an advertisement of both Woodbury and Sherman for the year 1832, which show that Sherman commanded a fee of fifteen dollars, while Woodbury kept the terms of ten dollars at which he was advertised in 1830. But the average price of service of stallions advertised at that time was but two to three dollars, which shows the popularity which these now famous horses had then at- tained. Mr. Linsley gives eighteen entire sons of Woodbury Morgan, of thirteen of which the color is stated. Of these, eight were chestnut and five were bay. The heights of twelve are given, varying from the fourteen and a half hands of the famous sire, Gifford Morgan, to the sixteen hands of the Walker Horse, Morgan Tally-ho ; the average height is precisely fifteen hands. The weights of fifteen are given ; the least is that of May Fly, nine hundred pounds, and the greatest that of the Walker Horse, thirteen hundred pounds ; the average • SONS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 147 ten hundred and fifty-one pounds. This makes the get of Woodbury one-quarter of an inch taller and about thirty pounds heavier than the get of Sherman Morgan, which was probably a close approxi- mation to the general average. Woodbury's sons, here given, average an inch taller, but not heavier than himself. Mr. Linsley says: "The Woodbury family are found most numerous in the central part of the State of Vermont. There are also many along the Connecticut River, between Brattleboro and Newbury. The founders of this and of the Bulrush family were bred close together, and remained near each other most of .their lives ; hence their descendants are found in the same vicinity. The average size of the Woodburys we believe to be greater than either of the other families. They are deeper in the flanks, with heavier quarters, but not so heavy in the chest. Some are inclined to be hollow- backed, and in this respect differ from the Bulrushes. They have an exceedingly bold, lofty and resolute style of action, and are over- flowing with spirit and nervous energy. They are generally very tractable, but eager and restless ; are full of ambition and cat-like activity, that make them favorite horses for parade. Their prevail- ing color is chestnut or bay, often with a white stripe or star in the face, and white on one or both of the hind feet. Only a few of this family have any long hair on the legs above the fetlocks, and they do not generally have as heavy manes and tails as the other families. They have a shorter gait than the Bulrushes, and are spirited, pleasant drivers. The limbs, with the exception that they are freer from long hairs, closely resemble the limbs of the Shermans, being not so large as the limbs of the Bulrushes. They have generally a softer coat than either of the other families. The Woodburys have the largest, most prominent and brightest eyes of any of the Morgans. The forehead is also very broad, and the muzzle good, but in some of them the jowls are not so well shaped as the others". Woodbury Morgan was the first horse ever foaled that left as many as three sons that got each a two-thirty trotter. Sherman Morgan, a number of years his senior, was the first horse that ever left two sons that got two-thirty trotters. This trio of trotting sires was composed of Gifford Morgan, Morgan Eagle and Morgan Caesar. Gifford Morgan is said to be sire of the chestnut gelding Bep- po, that had a very close five-heat trotting contest with Lady Suffolk at the Beacon course, New Jersey, July 4, 1843, in which both contes- tants went to saddle, and both retired writh records of 2 128, being the first records ever made in 2 130 or better. Lady Suffolk took the first heat in 2 :28^ ; the second was a dead heat in 2 : 2 8, so that this point was T48 THE MORGAN HORSE touched by these two famous animals at the same instant ; the third heat was won by Beppo in 2 128 ; the fourth by the mare in 2 129, and she won the fifth and race in 2:32. This famous race was for only one hundred dollars. Lady Suffolk was a daughter of Engineer, 2d, he by Engineer, a very handsome gray horse of entirely unknown pedigree, kept on Long Island in 1816 and 1817. Thus the daughter of Engineer vanquished the son of Gifford Morgan; but six years later, in 1849, Mac (2 -28 to harness, 2 127 to saddle), son of Morgan Caesar,- trotted with Lady Suffolk, then the reigning queen of the turf, a series of seven races that season, five of which he won, the other two being lost on the 6th and 7th of June, when Mac was lame. The comments of the "Spirit of the Times", at the time, show that it was understood that Mac could beat Lady Suffolk, one or two mile heats, any day when he was right. Mac was a brown gelding, standing fifteen and a half hands, bred by Thomas Record of Canton, Maine, and foaled in 1843. He was kept entire till after he was three, and got about fifteen foals at that age. Mac trotted thirty races against the very best horses oi his day, and in twenty-one of them he was victorious. Morgan Caesar had another famous trotting son, the brown gelding Pizarro, that commenced trotting as early as 1840, and made a record of 2 135 in 1843. Morgan Eagle got the famous brown mare Lady Sutton, that in a contest with Lady Suffolk and Pelham at Centreville, Long Island, took a record of 2 130. This was a seven-heat contest, in which Lady Suffolk took the first and second heats, Lady Sutton the third and fourth ; the fifth and sixth were dead heats between the two mares, and Lady Suffolk won the seventh heat and race. Pelham was dis- tanced in the third heat. The time was 2 129^, 2 131, 2 130, 2 131 J^, 2:32, 2:31, 2:38. Lady Sutton had the year before beaten Lady Suffolk and Lady Moscow on the same course, in a six-heat contest, taking first, second and sixth heats. Thus early were the grandchildren of Woodbury Morgan from three different sons engaging in brilliant and successful trotting con- tests with the fastest and gamest in the land. Two of these three famous sons were founders of trotting families. A son of Morgan Eagle, bearing the same name, got Magna Charta 2:33, that at one time held the four-year-old trotting record of the world, and became one of the foremost among the trotting sires of Michigan. Gifford Morgan got the noted Green Mountain Morgan, sire of young Green Mountain Morgan, which got the dams of Kirkwood 2:24 and Bashaw, Jr., 2:24^; another son of Green Moun- SOWS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 149 tain Morgan, called Morgan Eagle, got Kentucky Queen, dam of Kentucky Prince, that has nineteen to his credit in the 2 : 30 list, among them the black gelding, Guy 2 114^. Eastman Morgan, another son of Green Mountain Morgan, got Little Fred 2:20. Prince Albert, another son of Green Mountain Morgan, got Matchless, sire of Palma 2 122^. Gifford Morgan also got the Hackett Horse, sire of Flying Morgan, whose son, Ira Allen 2 136, got Ripon Boy 2 125. But the fame of Gifford Morgan as a progenitor of trotters rests chiefly on the great Golddust family, the head of which, Golddust, bred by L. L. Dorsey of Kentucky, was a son of Vermont Morgan, he by Barnard Morgan, son of Gifford. Take the entire records and it will be seen that the blood of Woodbury Morgan has been a very potent factor in trotting pedigrees. BULRUSH MORGAN, sometimes called the Belknap Horse, was bred by Moses Belknap of Randolph, Orange county, Vermont, and foaled on the farm of Ziba Gifford, Tunbridge, Vermont, in 1812; he was got by Justin Morgan ; dam's breeding unknown, but said to be part French. The following is Mr. Linsley's account of him : "Bulrush was foaled in 1812 or 1813. Of this we think there can be no reasonable doubt, although it has been stated that he was foaled in 1816. We have consulted persons who owned both Bul- rush and Woodbury, and they all agree that Bulrush was the older of the two. Now, there is no question but that Woodbury was foaled in 1816, and if Bulrush was older, it is altogether probable that he was more than one year older, for the Justin Morgan was taken to Claremont early in the spring of 1814, and remained there one year, and the dam of Bulrush was owned in Randolph, Vermont, the year he was sired, so that, in the absence of any other testimony, we might very reasonably conclude that he was not foaled later than 1814; but the testimony of Chester Belknap is clear and direct, that he was foaled in 1812. Mr. Belknap was married in 1819; his father, who raised the horse, owned him at that time, and soon after sold him to Abel Densmore of Chelsea, Vermont ; he was then seven years old. This statement of Mr. Belknap in relation to the age of Bulrush is confirmed by many persons who knew him well, and there can hardly be a doubt that it is correct. " The blood of the dam of Bulrush is unknown. She was a dark bay, with black legs, and heavy black mane and tail ; she was low and compact, had heavy limbs, with large joints, neck rather long, a good head, but did not carry it up very well ; she was a sharp 150 THE MORGAN HORSE trotter, but was not a very spirited driver ; she was said to be, and had the appearance of being, part French. She was owned by Mr. Moses Belknap of Randolph, Vermont, at the time Bulrush was sired. Mr. Belknap obtained her of a Mr. Boutwell, a teamster from Montpelier, Vermont, who worked her in a six-horse team, hauling merchandise and produce between Montpelier and Boston. She was a very rugged, hardy, enduring animal, but Mr. Boutwell thought her too small for his business, and he exchanged her with Mr. Belknap for a larger horse. She weighed about ten hundred pounds. Mr. Bel- knap sold her late in the winter, when in foal by Justin Morgan, to Ziba Gifford, Esq., of Tunbridge, Vermont, Mr. Gifford to keep the colt until four months old and return it to Mr. Belknap, or pay thirteen dollars more and keep it. Mr. Gifford preferred to return the colt and did so. " Bulrush was a dark bay, with a few white hairs in his forehead, and no other marks; his legs, mane and tail were black, and his mane and tail were very heavy; the former came down nearly to his knees, and his foretop came down to his nose ; his tail was cut off when young and left about nine inches long ; his legs were large and had some long hair; were close-jointed, broad, flat, and exhibited a more striking development of muscle than either Woodbury's or Sher- man's ; his back was not so short as either of the others, but it was very broad, and he was freer from any imputation of sway-back than any of his brothers, though toward the close of his life he in- deed fell away in his loins, as is always the case in old stallions. His hips were very good, but not so long as Sherman's, and he was not so well quartered as Woodbury, but he was deeper in the chest than either of them ; his shoulders were thicker and not so well placed, and his head and neck were not so well set up. He was not so proud, bold and lofty in his carriage as Woodbury, and he had not Sher- man's short, nervous step, and tractable but high-spirited temper; but he was a sharp, quick driver, and a faster trotter than either of them. He was a little inclined to be cross, but was not fierce or in any respect unmanageable ; on the contrary, he was very kind in harness, always working pleasantly wherever put. His most remark- able characteristic was his power of endurance. For this, we think it is generally admitted, he had no rival ; and his extraordinary lasting- ness has become proverbial where he was known. His stock bear a strong resemblance to him, and are very numerous ; are mostly dark bay without marks, never sorrel or light chestnut ; occasionally a dark gray from a white mare may be found. Bulrush was about fourteen hands high, and weighed about one thousand pounds. SOJVS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 151 "Mr. Belknap kept Bulrush inTunbridge and vicinity until 1819, when he sold him to Abel Densmore of Chelsea, Vermont. Mr. Densmore sold him to Darius Sprague of Randolph, Vermont, who sold him March 8th, 1826, to Messrs. Simon Smith and William Walker of Hartland, Vermont, for three hundred and fifty dollars. They kept him at Hartland and vicinity until they dissolved part- nership in 1829, when Mr. Smith took Bulrush to Maidstone, Ver- mont. He kept him one year at Chelsea, Vermont, and two years in the State of Maine, and in 1833 sold him to Jesse Johnson & Brothers of Bradford, Vermont. The season of 1833 he was kept at Bradford, Vermont, and Bath, New Hampshire ; the season of 1834, at Keene, New Hampshire; the season of 1835, at Lyme, New Hampshire, and Bradford, Vermont ; and the season of 1836 at Burlington, Vermont. During the winter of 1836 and 1837, the Messrs. Johnson sold him to Messrs. Blake and Foss of Chelsea, Vermont, who kept him in that town till 1842, when they sold him to Lewis Jenkins of Fairlee, Vermont, who kept him at Fairlee until he sold him to F. A. Weir of Walpole, New Hampshire, who kept him until he died in 1848 ". It will be noted that Bulrush lived to the remarkable age of thirty-six years. It appears that Smith and \Valker of Hartland got both Bulrush and Woodbury the same month, March 1826, and kept them till they dissolved partnership, in 1829, when Smith took Bul- rush and Walker took Woodbury; and that, in 1833, when the Johnson Brothers of Bradford were keeping Woodbury for Burbank, they purchased Bulrush, and the horses had again for three years the same owners. Mr. Linsley gives a list of sixteen entire sons of Bulrush, and the color and weight of all are given. Of these, thirteen are bay, two gray and one brown. The weights vary between nine hundred and twenty-five and twelve hundred pounds, the average being ten hundred and seven pounds. The heights of twelve are given, be- tween the limits of fourteen and one-half and sixteen hands, the aver- age being fourteen and five-sixths hands. It thus appears that Bul- rush got bays with great uniformity. Mr. Linsley says : "The Bulrush family are most numerous in that portion of the States of Vermont and New Hampshire lying on the Connecticut River, between Windsor and Newbury. They are almost invariably deep bays and browns, with black legs, manes and tails ; in this respect they differ from the other families, and also in their general (we might almost say universal) freedom from any marks, 152 THE MORGAN HORSE such as white feet or white spots in the face. They have large limbs, wide, flat and muscular, sometimes inclined to be a little coarse, but the joints are good, and the whole limb very large in proportion to the size of the animal. We do not recollect ever seeing a. spavin or a ring-bone on a Bulrush horse. They exhibit great development of muscle, and in point of size are fully equal to the average of Mor- gans. They have not so bright, lively and intelligent eyes as the other families, though the eye is by no means dull or stupid. They do not carry their heads as high, nor have they as bold and eager an expression as the Woodburys, or as graceful and easy motion as the Shermans, but for lastingness and power of endurance we believe they have no rivals in this or any other country, among Morgans or any other breed. There is really some ground for the assertion a jockey acquaintance once made to us, that 'a smart, active boy would wear out a wrought-iron rocking-pony, sooner than a grown-up man could break down the constitution of a Bulrush horse'. In addition to this power of endurance, they are generally sharp, keen drivers, and many of them are fast. They are not excitable, never fret upon the road, but are busy, industrious workers. Some of the family have considerable long hair upon the legs, and others are entirely free from it. Most of them have very heavy manes and tails". Although Bulrush had more trotting speed than either of his two famous brothers, his progeny do not appear so early in trotting annals as those of either of the others. The blood of Bulrush comes in collaterally in many early trotting pedigrees, but no sire of ?. 130 speed traces to him in direct male line until we come to Morrill, in the third generation. From this great-grandson of Bulrush has sprung a trotting family of very high distinction, one of whose mem- bers, Fearnaught 2 123 J^, once held the fastest stallion record of the world. This family, including among its branches the Winthrop Morrills, the Fearnaughts and the Dracos, all of which sprung from Young Morrill 2:31, son of Morrill, is well known upon the trotting tracks throughout the country. In the trotting world the Morrill family now represents Bulrush Morgan ; Woodbury is represented by the Golddusts and the Magna Chartas ; while Sherman is more plentifully represented by the great families of Ethan Allen (which includes the Daniel Lamberts), the Knoxes, the Grey Eagles, the Flying Clouds, the King Herods, and others. Still, the great value of the Morgan family lies in its useful- ness to mankind, lending its stalwart strength to legitimate business, ministering by its beauty, grace and docility to the happiness which SOWS OF JUSTIN MORGAN 153 attends the modest course of every-day life, rather than in the lus- tre gained from its victories upon the trotting turf. A little additional information of interest and value concerning Bulrush Morgan has come to us from several parties who knew him intimately. Mr. J. B. Davis, born 1812, a prominent farmer and skilled horseman of Barnard, Vermont, which town he has repeatedly represented in the State legislature, says: ''Bulrush was kept at Williamstown, Vermont, where my father lived. He was a blood bay, with black mane and tail. Old Bulrush was a trotter; would pass for a trotter if alive now. I have often seen him ridden up the street. He would trot and go like a dart. He was a bold-looking horse, a stout-built horse, very strong forward, with full tail and very heavy mane. He had a very large neck, well put on ; a handsome-shaped neck. I used to take a good many horses down the river to Hart- ford and Springfield. The Bulrush Morgan sired a very good and even lot of horses, sound, smart and speedy. I think, as a race, they were faster than the VVoodburys, though Woodbury sired some fast ones". John Woodbury, in his letter to Mr. Kidder, before quoted, says : " Sherman was dark chestnut ; his dam large bay, rather flat- ribbed and inclined to a racking gait — a fast going beast. Bulrush, dark bay, inclined to brown ; his dam large size, French blooded, black, rather flat-ribbed and large-limbed ; low carriage. Revenge resembled, in form and color, the Bulrush ; I know nothing of the dam". Mr. Robinson, Chelsea, Vermont, born at Williamstown, Ver- mont, 1808, says: "Old Bulrush came to Williamstown and did business there. He was a chunked, monstrous strong built, low, powerful horse. Martin used to ride him on parade. I went to learn the blacksmith trade when I was fifteen years old ; he came the next year. I think Densmore, who owned him at Chelsea, had a partner at Brookfield. I came here in 1831. The old Morgan died on the farm of Clifford Bean". Judge Lynn of Williamstown, Vermont, says: " The first Mor- gan horse owned here was Bulrush, from Chelsea, owned by Mr. Densmore ; a low, dark horse, fourteen and a half hands, nine hun- dred and fifty pounds; and a smart trotter". Mr. Linsley states that the Shermans are most numerous in that part of Vermont between Newbury and the Canada line, in the neigh- boring parts of New Hampshire, about Brownington, Derby, and in Addison county, Vermont, and in Stanstead, Canada. 154 THE MORGAN HORSE In closing his admirable sketch of the three great sons of Justin Morgan, Mr. Linsley says: " Bulrush, Sherman and Woodbury were treated very much alike. Until after ten years old, each of them was employed most of the time at the ordinary team-work of a farm, and at no period of their lives did they have any more care than the common horses of the country ; and never had much knowledge of thick blankets and warm stables, but were early inured to the labor and hardship, fatigue and exposure, incident to a new and mountainous country and a cold climate. It is not improbable that the cold, dry atmosphere and pure water of our mountains have contributed as much as the rich pastures of our valleys to the stoutness, courage and lastingness of our horses. We have thus slightly sketched the more obvious dis- tinctions and general characteristics of these celebrated sons of the original or Justin Morgan. While they differed in the particulars we have herein set forth (which difference was rather in the degree than the nature of their qualities), they all possessed the great and strik- ing features of their distinguished sire. The same compactness of form ; great muscular development ; hardy, rugged constitution ; docil- ity and tractableness ; short, easy, rapid step ; eager ambition and lofty courage, so remarkable in him, were found in each of them in a high degree. Through these noble channels the blood of the Justin Mor- gan has been poured profusely into the hitherto hardy stock of Ver- mont, conveying not only the very form of the great original, but all his unrivalled vigor, grace and ease of motion, combined with his docility and matchless courage". Black Hawk. From wood cut 155 VI BLACK HAWK BLACK HAWK, son of Sherman Morgan, was bred by Benjamin Kelly of Durham, New Hampshire, and foaled April, 1833, the prop- erty of Ezekiel Twombly of same place. His color was full black, and he had no marks. His height was fifteen hands and his weight about one thousand pounds. His dam was a black mare whose breeder is unknown and whose breeding is doubtful. Mr. Linsley states that she was bred in New Brunswick and was half English or thorough- bred. A son of Benjamin Kelly says that his father traded for her with a pedlar at Haverhill, Massachusetts, and thinks the pedlar called her a Narragansett. Other testimony concerning this mare will appear in letters published within. She was a fast trotter and a superior mare. Black Hawk passed from the estate of Ezekiel Twombly to a grandson, Shadrack Seavey, who traded him, when coming five, to Albert R. Mathes for another horse and fifty dollars. Mr. Mathes sold him to Messrs. Brown & Thurston at Haverhill, Massa- chusetts, for two hundred dollars. Mr. Benjamin Thurston soon bought out Mr. Brown's interest, took the horse to Lowell, Massa- chusetts, and in 1844 sold him for eight hundred dollars to David Hill, Bridport, Vermont, where he was kept until his death, Decem- ber 1st, 1856. Mr. Linsley says : " In size, compactness, style of action, great muscular development, temperament and endurance he exhibits the distinguishing traits of the Morgans to a high degree. His stock, though generally larger, being from larger dams, exhibit much the same characteristics, and their color, when not black, is almost with- out exception bay or chestnut, the latter color being quite common. Many of his colts have the same marks in the face and upon the feet that belong to Sherman and his dam. We never saw a gray, a white, or a cream-colored horse from him. " Black Hawk is a little under fifteen hands high, and weighs about 156 THE MORGAN HORSE ten hundred pounds. His compact, symmetrical and muscular form, and nervous, elastic style of action, give unmistakable evidence of the speed and endurance he has shown upon the turf and road ; and although twenty-three years old, his eye has lost none of its brightness, his health is still excellent, and his movements are still graceful and energetic. One of the chief excellencies of Black Hawk, and one which he possesses in a remarkable degree, is the uniform- ity with which he stamps upon his offspring his own distinguishing characteristics. Few colts were-sired by him previous to 1844, when he became the property of David Hill, and since that time he has been constantly kept at that gentleman's stable, in Bridport, Vermont ". In the fall of 1885 Mr. S. W. Parlin of Boston, Massachusetts, made a very through examination into the history of Black Hawk and his dam, the substance of which appeared shortly after in the "American Cultivator", as follows: ''Wishing to learn something definite concerning the man who bought Black Hawk from the estate after the death of Ezekial Twombly, and thinking that an interview with Wingate Twombly might open some trail that would, if followed up, give more light upon the early history of Black Hawk than had appeared in any account of that distinguished animal yet published, the writer visited the extensive farm of Mr. Charles H. Hayes, which is located in Ports- mouth, New Hampshire, about two and a half miles from the station. Fortunately, the proprietor was at home, and from him it was learned that Mr. Wingate Twombly was living in a house on a part of Mr. Hayes' estate, and, although well advanced in years, his memory of facts which occurred in his younger days was tolerably clear, and that he would undoubtedly be glad to give any information in his power concerning the early history of Black Hawk. "Mr. Hayes also suggested that Mr. Shadrack Seavey, an intel- ligent, wide-awake, well-to-do farmer, whose statements could be im- plicitly relied upon, was living in the adjoining town of Greenland, and might be able to give some information concerning the horse in ques- tion, as he was a grandson of Ezekiel Twombly and was living at his grandfather's at the latter's death. Following the direction of Mr. Hayes, Wingate Twombly was soon found, and although suffering somewhat from rheumatism, was up about the house, and quite as nimble as most men who have passed the line of four-score years. Making known at once the object of the visit, the following informa- tion was elicited from the old crentleman, who stated that he was a o son of Ezekiel Twombly, and was born in Durham, New Hampshire, BLACK HAWK 157 October I, 1806. He had four brothers, named James, Isaac, Stephen and Shadrack, all of whom have been dead for years. He (Wingate) lived at home with his parents several years after he was of age. In 1832 his father, Ezekiel Twombly, traded an eight-year-old mare with Benjamin Kelly, who then kept a hotel in Durham, for a large black mare, agreeing to give Kelly a load of hay in case the black mare, which Mr. Kelly stated had been bred to Sherman Morgan, should prove in foal. "This mare he describes as being a large, handsome animal, with wide nostrils, good-sized head and ears (the latter well set and 'always carried upright, as straight as a stick'), neck of good length and well cut up under the jowls, strong back, good loin, hips of good width, rather straight and very smoothly turned, handsome croup and good legs, which were clean, flat and free from hair. She was well shaped, but not what would be called snug-built. Her color was black, with a white stripe in her face about the width of three fingers, extending from the middle of her forehead to her nose. This stripe was the only white about her excepting a few hairs growing in places where she had been galled by the harness. She had no white feet, and there were no white hairs mixed through her coat. After shedding her coat in the spring she was as black as jet — one of the blackest he ever saw. " She stood about sixteen hands in height, weighed eleven hun- dred pounds, was as square a trotter as ever wore harness, never paced a step while he knew her, and was very fast for those times. Before trading with Mr. Twornbly, Kelly drove the mare a measured mile on the turnpike in three minutes to a gig when carrying Black Hawk. She was a mare of good courage, great endurance and ex- cellent wind. He once drove her ten miles coming home from muster, over very muddy roads, with five in a heavy wagon. The distance was traveled in a very short time, but the mare's courage was as good the last rod as when she started. In traveling she car- ried her head fairly well up, or a little higher than her body ; was by no means a low-headed animal. " Although a free driver, needing no whip, she was a very kind- dispositioned animal, and safe for any one to use on the road. Mrs. Twombly frequently drove her alone after that lady was eighty years old. Mr. Kelly, from whom his father had the mare, claimed he got her of a pedlar, who represented that he brought her from Nova Scotia, and stated that her dam was imported. She was about eight years old when Mr. Twombly got her. He always said she was the best animal he ever drove. So good was her wind that after the most 158 THE MORGAN HORSE severe exertion she never puffed, but would fill her lungs once, give a long breath, and then breathe naturally. "When two years old Black Hawk gave them some trouble by breaking out of the enclosure where he was kept and visiting a neigh- bor's pasture. The following year the first of his produce was dropped, which at four years of age was sold for one hundred and seventy-five dollars. A similar event occurred in his four-year-old form, the result being a fine filly, which at six years of age was sold for six hundred dollars. " Black Hawk, when a colt, was a square-gaited, easy-moving, natural trotter, and very fast for that day. He was broken to harness at the usual age, and driven upon the road, where he soon dis- tinguished himself by trotting past everything that he encountered, in- cluding the fastest trotters of the best horsemen in the vicinity of Green- land. He was at first quite light in the quarters, and at five years of age was quite peaked behind, but after being owned by Thurston awhile he filled out and improved considerably in this respect. He was always a very spirited driver, yet remarkably kind and tractable. In many respects he resembled his dam closely, especially in the shape of his head. ''Black Hawk was called The Morgan while owned intheTwombly family. When questioned in regard to the time of year that Black Hawk was dropped, Mr. Twombly had evidently been impressed with the idea, from some source, that it was May 23d, and so stated. He was also very confident that his father died in 1838, and so stated to Mr. Hayes, but the records show it to have been 1837. The dam of Black Hawk had two foals by Flint Morgan ; one of them, a mare, was heavier at four years of age than her dam ; neither of them be- came noted. Mr. Twombly did not remember what became of them. Flint Morgan he describes as a taller horse than Sherman Morgan. The dam of Black Hawk was owned in the family nearly ten years. After Ezekiel Twombly's death the colt, afterward known as Black Hawk, was appraised at sixty dollars and taken at the appraisal by Shadrack Seavey, a son of Wingate Twombly's sister, who lived with his grandparents. Seavey traded the colt with Albert Mathes, when it was five years old, for a mare and fifty dollars in cash. " Leaving Mr. Twombly, the writer drove at once to the home of Mr. Shadrack Seavey, about two and a half miles from Greenland Parade on the turnpike to Newburyport. Fortunately, Mr. Seavey was at home, and his appearance fully verified the statements of Mr. C. H. Hayes. Mr. Seavey stated that he was born in 1816, and went BLACK HAWK 159 to live with his grandfather, Ezekiel Twombly, father of his mother, at a very early age, making it his home there until after his grand- father's death, which occurred in 1837. Sometime in 1832 Ezekiel Twombly, who was then living on a farm in Durham, New Hamp- shire, traded with Benjamin Kelly, a hotel-keeper in Durham, and got a mare, claimed at that time to be eight or nine years old, and in foal by Sherman Morgan. Mr. Kelly stated that he had the mare of a man who claimed to have brought her from Nova Scotia, and said she was of English blood. She was a large, black animal, with stripe in face, and no other marks ; would weigh, in his judg- ment, about eleven hundred pounds ; had a good head and ear, long, slim neck, medium mane and tail, round barrel of good length, hand- some, smoothly-turned hips, quite a straight rump, legs smooth and free from shaggy hair. Not being accustomed to measuring horses, he could not tell very nearly as to her height, but thought it mightbe fifteen hands. " She was a very pleasant, free driver, did not pull on the bit in the least, was a square trotter, never showing any inclination to pace, and was very fast. In harness she carried her head pretty well up ; needed but little checking. Although a free driver, she had a pleas- ant disposition, and would not run away if touched with the whip, yet she needed no encouragement from the lash. It was afterwards stated that she had been used one season on a butcher's cart in Con- cord, New Hampshire, before Kelly got her, but he never took pains to learn, as but little attention was paid in those days to tracing the breeding of animals. Early in the spring of 1833, not later than the middle of April at latest, this mare dropped one of the homeliest colts that he ever saw from that day to this. He remembers the event well. The ground was bare, but there was no grass. The mare had the liberty of the field and he was keeping lookout to see that she did not get away. Suddenly she left the field and went back of the barn into the pasture. About twenty minutes later Mr. Seavey went to look for her and found her in the pasture with the above mentioned colt. They got them to the barn; and not long afterwards a neighbor named Thompson came to buy some hay to feed his cows upon until grass grew. Mr. Thompson thought the colt would come out all right and make a hundred dollar horse. The colt improved in looks as he grew older, and in the fall, though considerably under size, a Dr. Downs who saw him prophesied he would some day be worth one hundred dollars. "Mr. Twombly finally gave the colt to him (Shadrack Seavey) 160 THE MORGAN HORSE and he had the whole care of him. He was the first one to bridle him, the first to mount him on the back, and the first to break him to harness. The colt was a pure-gaited trotter from the first, very spirited, yet wonderfully kind. When breaking him the har- ness he used was so old and weak that nearly every time he started out some part of it gave way, yet the colt never ran away or did any damage. In those days farmers did not think of feeding grain to colts, and Black Hawk never ate a feed of oats so long as Mr. Sea- vey had charge of him. "In the fall of 1835 Ezekiel Twombly, with his family and stock, moved from Durham to Greenland, where he died in 1837, after which his property was appraised, and although the colt had been given to Mr. Seavey, it was decided to appraise that also, the value being fixed at sixty dollars, and at this figure he was taken by Mr. Seavey, to whom the estate was indebted for labor. "Besides the foals already mentioned from Black Hawk's dam, she produced two others by her son Black Hawk, both of which died. The old mare finally became lame, and, in 1841, Mr. Seavey sold her for the family and lost track of her, so that he cannot tell when or where she died. "Black Hawk was a square trotter from the first, and after being fairly broken was never passed on the road while owned by Mr. Seavey. So strong was his inclination to trot that during all the time Mr. Seavey drove him he never made a break, and he never came across a team on the road, during the last year that he had him, that he did not go by. He was one of the prettiest driving horses that ever lived. "At one time Mr. Seavey made up his mind to have him gelded, and arranged with a Mr. J. Whitten to perform the operation and keep him until sound. The day was set and the colt was led down to Whitten, who urged so strongly against it that Mr. Seavey changed his mind. It was in the spring of 1838 that Mr. Seavey traded the colt with Mr. A. R. Mathes. The first time Mr. Mathes came to see him he drove a very smart traveling horse. The folks were away from home with the sleigh, and Mr. Seavey was compelled to show him in an old vehicle not suitable for the purpose. After driving past Mr. Mathes a few times, the latter wanted to drive him, to which Mr. S. consented, and they started for Greenland Parade with the colt in the lead. Arriving at the Parade, Mr. M. was inclined to chaff the young man, telling him in a manner that started Mr. Seavey's grit that the colt was no trotter. BLACK HAWK 161 "Finally Mr. Seavey suggested to Mathes that he would accom- pany him part way home, that Mathes might start ahead, and if he could not pass him he would give Mathes the colt. They started, and after driving a short distance met a loaded team. Mathes reined to the right, but Seavey went to the left, drew up on the reins, shot by Mathes before he came into the road and drove away from him, but waited for him to come up, and at Mathes' urgent request let him take the colt home that night, Mr. Seavey taking the mare, which he returned the next day and got his colt. "A few days afterwards Mr. Mathes brought another mare, for which and fifty dollars in cash Mr. Seavey exchanged Black Hawk. Mr. Seavey saw Black Hawk once when owned by Mr. Mathes, and found him suffering from a slight lameness in one hind pastern, caused by driving him at speed over an uneven culvert. "The above statements of Messrs. Seavey and Twombly were ob- tained in reply to questions, the answers to which were carefully noted upon the spot. Noticing a descrepancy between the two state- ments concerning the date of foaling, a letter was addressed to Mr. Seavey calling his attention to the date given by Mr. Twombly, and asking if that was as he remembered the matter, to which came the following reply : "' GREENLAND, November 22, 1885. "'S. W. PARLIN. Dear Sir: Mr. Twombly is mistaken in re- gard to the time Black Hawk was foaled. It must have been before the middle of April, for I well remember there was no feed in the fields or pastures. He was foaled in Durham, in 1833, and we moved to this place in the fall of 1835. The following spring the colt was three years old. The mane of the mare was about medium, as was also her tail for length. As to her height, I told you all I knew or remembered about it. You are welcome to all the information I have been able to give you, and if I do not know about Black Hawk's ancestors, no one does. Respectfully, SHABRACK SEAVEY'. "Thinking if the dam of Black Hawk was of pacing stock, as has been lately suggested, Mr. A. R. Mathes, who is an experienced horseman, must remember something to that effect, a letter was ad- dressed to him, to which he replied as follows : "' STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT, November, 20, 1885. " 'EDITOR OF THE " AMERICAN CULTIVATOR" : Your favor of the 1 9th inst. is before me and I hasten to reply. Am just recov- ering from a severe sickness, but am always pleased to answer com- 162 THE MORGAN HORSE munications in reference to Black Hawk. I love to think about the splendid horse he was. I have owned and seen a great many good ones, but I do not remember one his equal. As to his dam, she was a mare that even in these times would be looked upon among horse- men as a superior animal, having a fine loin, clean flat legs, long neck, wide between the eyes, ears rather long but well set, and a very intel- ligent, bright-looking countenance. As I remember her, she had no resemblance to pacing form in any particular, having a straight rather than drooping rump. She was, I should judge, about sixteen hands, nice-shaped withers and all black, as you say Seavey describes her. All in all, she was a good one, and I should like to own one now as she was when I knew her. I always understood that she came from Nova Scotia to Durham. In answer to your postscript, will say she was a fine-coated animal, with legs quite free from extra hair, show- ing superior breeding from some source. I 'forgot to mention the stripe in her face, otherwise remember no white about her. Seavey certainly ought to know about that. It is a pleasure to answer your letters, as it brings me back to pleasant recollections of old times. Very truly yours, A. R. MATHES'. "The original charge of John Bellows for the services of Sherman Morgan as obtained by Allen Thomson of Woodstock, Vermont, and lately published by the 'Middlebury Register' is as follows: '1882 — May 14. Benjamin Kelly of Durham, Dr. To black mare as warrant $14.00 groom money i .00 "Underneath this charge at another time, Mr. Bellows inserted the following : ' This mare produced Black Hawk from this service Another article in the "American Cultivator", on Black Hawk, Mr. Parlin closes with these words : " In strength and beauty of form, elegance of carriage, ease and elasticity of action, and fine, cheerful disposition, combined with great endurance and all the other qualities requisite in a first-class roadster and trotter, Black Hawk far surpassed any other stallion of his day, and has probably never had an equal outside the Morgan family". We add the following letters : "STAMFORD, CONNECTICUT, June 30, 1885. "EDITOR OF THE ' AMERICAN CULTIVATOR'. Dear Sir: Yours of the 2/th inst. at hand. I will answer your questions as near as I can, and in order as they were asked. I bought the colt, afterward known as Black Hawk, of a nephew of Ezekiel Twombly. The colt was coming five years old. I kept BLACK HAWK 163 him only a short time, perhaps four or six weeks. I used him only for practice, or teaching him to trot. He cost me eighty dollars. I sold him for two hundred dollars. The names of the Twomblys, as you state in your letter, I think are correct. Ezekiel is the one who raised the colt in Durham and moved to Greenland, died there and the colt came into possession of the nephew, whose name I do not recollect. I only knew or heard of the colt two or three days be- fore I went to see him and bought. One of the Twomblys living in Durham told me of him. At the time I saw him he was in the cow- yard with the cattle, thin in flesh, rough-looking, and small. Would probably have weighed not to exceed seven hundred and fifty or eight hundred pounds. "He was sired by Sherman Morgan, who was owned by a Mr. Bellows and stood in Durham at Kelly's hotel one day each week. The horse and dam I remember perfectly well. The dam was a good-looking, large-sized black mare, said to have come from Nova Scotia ; also said to have been from English stock, and from experi- ence since I should think she was. Nothing was ever said or thought much of in those days about pedigree or speed. "I remember her as being a good-looking, easy-moving mare with long neck, large ear, full, large eyes, wide between eyes, strong, short back, good legs and feet. I could tell you many particulars referring to Black Hawk from the time I sold him to Brown and Thurs- ton until the horse died. It was at Brown's hotel, Haverhill, Massa- chusetts, that I sold the colt. They bought together, and Thurston afterward bought the other half. I will be pleased to answer any other questions • would give you more information by seeing you. Truly yours, A. R. MATHES". Again Mr. Mathes writes: "DEAR SIR: Yours of the 29th at hand. When I first saw Black Hawk he was poor, small, and long-coated, yet he had such a bright, intelligent look that I fancied him and asked the owner to harness him to his sleigh. I stood and saw him drive past me once or twice, and finally exchanged a cheaper horse for him. It was his style and easy, open gait that I admired more than any- thing else, and I never saw anything before or since more per- fect. He was one of the kind that is always broken. I improved his speed and general appearance very much during the short time I kept him. I don't think he was ever away from the farm before I bought him, and I sold him directly to Brown and Thurston. Brown afterward sold his interest to Thurston, who gave the horse the name of Black Hawk". 1 64 THE MORGAN HORSE C. H. Hayes of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, writes of the dam of Black Hawk : "The dam of Black Hawk was a black, striped-faced mare from Nova Scotia, and would weigh one thousand pounds. She was a powerful animal of great endurance, and could haul two men to a wagon a mile in three minutes. Her dam was said to have been im- ported". Two statements as to the origin of this mare have been made, both purporting to come from the teamster who traded her to Mr. Kelly. They are contradictory. Nothing is known as to the knowl- edge of this teamster. One of these versions has been given ; the other is contained in the following letter of John L. Kelly, son of Benjamin Kelly, written to Allen W.Thomson, Woodstock, Vermont, and dated August 25th, 1876: "In answer to your inquiries about the dam of Black Hawk I will give you my best recollections, aided somewhat by a diary I kept at that time. I returned to Durham from a sea voyage in the fall of 1830. In the following spring I went to Boston with my father, with a lot of horses. We stopped over night at Brown's Hotel, Haverhill, Massachusetts, where we met a teamster from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, with a team of four horses. In a hind span was a large gray horse and a dark bay mare. Among father's horses was one which was a good match for the gray horse. The man noticed it, and told father that the mare was too fast for the horse, worth two of him for speed and bottom, yet he would trade with father for this gray horse. After a good deal of talk, with the aid of Mr. Brown the trade was made, and we drove the mare in the carriage to Boston, leading the others. We found her to be a splendid roadster, and as she was not in good condition to sell, we took her back to Durham. At this time she was chafed and bruised up very badly with heavy hames, yet in a few months she came out of it with no traces of it except a few white spots on her back and head. The teamster said she was a Narragansett mare. She would weigh a thousand pounds. Father kept her as one of his stable horses. She was found to have great speed as a trotter and father was always bragging about her. One day late in the season, Israel Estey of Dover drove over to Dur- ham with a trotter and bantered father to trot mile heats on Med- bury Plain between Durham and Dover. I had great faith in the mare and pleaded with father to accept his offer, as he did, and fifty dollars was staked on the race. John Speed was father's hostler at the time, and he commenced getting the mare ready for the race. BLACK HAWK 165 He had only three weeks to do it in. At the time specified, a large collection of people from Dover and Durham collected to see the race. Dr. Reuben Steele of Durham was one of the judges. The Estey horse won the first heat, the Kelly mare the next two, dis- tancing the horse the last time. In the spring of 1832 John Bellows came to Durham with the old Sherman Morgan and I persuaded father to have the mare stinted to him, which he did. I saw the horse cover her. I was twenty-one in 1832. I went to sea again that fall. My recollection of the dam of Black Hawk is, she was a very fine pointed mare. When she was excited her nostril was so large one could put his fist in it. JOHN L. KELLY". George D. Bisbee of Buckfield, Maine, writes to the " Middlebury Register", July 5th, 1888, as follows: " Robert Burns, who bred and owned Burns' Trotting Childers, is now a very old man, and all the way to get any information from him is to go and see him. He was a leading political man and bred many horses; he was well acquainted with Hill, who owned Black Hawk, and took his mare there in person ; also to Maynard's. Burns claims to know all about the dam. Burns says Black Hawk's dam came from Frederickton, New Brunswick ; that her sire and dam were imported by Judge Saunders of Frederickton, and were the Wildair breed ; that Judge Saunders sold Black Hawk's dam to a traveling dentist when three years old, who took her to Providence, Rhode Island, after which Burns says she became the property of one Jacques of Charlestown, Massachusetts, who bred her to old Sherman Morgan. Burns says Judge Saunders' son gave him the above, and I give it to you for what it is worth. Burns also tells me that the owner of the dam of Maynard's Trotting Childers assured him she was of the purest Morgan blood and very fast, called Queen of the Neck, and could trot in the twenties. The 'American Cultivator' mentioned this mare last spring; and I think they called her Lady Forrest. Burns is a very reliable and intelligent man and if I can be of any assistance to you in seeing him I will do all I can in that direction". It will be perceived that in his letter Mr. Kelly calls the mare bay, in which he was certainly mistaken ; for every other witness, any one of whom was in as good position to know as Mr. Kelly, or better, says she was black. Again it is Mr. Kelly that, writ- ing forty-five years after the event, says : " The teamster said she was a Narragansett mare". But none of the other witnesses mentioned above makes any such suggestion, and their description of 1 66 THE MORGAN HORSE the mare, with her pure trotting gait and want of any pacing conforma- tion, squarely contrdicts it. The prabability, therefore, is that Mr. Kelly was as much mistaken in his recollection of what the teamster said about the origin of the mare as he was in her color. It is possible the teamster might have inadvertedly, or ignorantly, used the word Narragansett, re- ferring to locality, and not blood, because the mare had recently come from Rhode Island, the Narragansett region. It is, too, unfortunate that this letter was in "answer to inquiries" of A. W. Thomson, who, as we have had occasion several times to know,has the unhappy faculty at times of coaching witnesses, or suggesting to them what he wants them to testi- fy. Indeed, we are strongly of the belief that all these suggestions of Narragansett origin, color of the mare, and date of foaling as given by Wingate Twombly, are the handiwork of Mr. Thomson, who went into this investigation for the purpose of supporting certain peculiar theories of his own in regard to breeding. Unfortunately Mr. Kelly is dead and cannot correct any errors that Mr. Thomson led him into. In a similar caseconcerningthe dam of Ethan Allen, Mr. Justus B. Ris- ing of Ticonderoga, New York, a gentleman of excellent memory, in- telligence and character, indignantly repudiated, over his own signa- ture, some testimony procured from him by Mr. Thomson through his peculiar methods. The statements that the dam of Black Hawk came from Nova Scotia are perfectly consistent with those of her having been bred in New Brunswick, as those two contiguous provinces are pretty much identified in the average New England mind. Moreover, if the parents were imported, they must have come to Nova Scotia. The statement that she came from one of these provinces, and was of English or thoroughbred blood, was doubtless the one that David Hill received when he bought the horse, as he always stated that Black Hawk's dam came from New Brunswick, and was largely of thoroughbred blood. Mr. Linsley doubtless got this information from Mr. Hill, and several gentlemen yet living in this county remember that Mr. Hill so stated, among them Mr. W. W. Moore of Shoreham, a relative of Mr. Hill and a liberal patron of Black Hawk. Mr. Hill was the per- son above all others who Had an interest to know the origin of the dam of Black Hawk. He was a horseman and a stallion owner from early life, having owned, among others, the celebrated and high- bred horse, Sir Charles, son of Duroc, whose pedigree he always gave with much care in his numerous advertisements of him in dif- ferent Vermont papers, showing that he appreciated the im- portance of pedigree. Doubtless he got as accurate a statement as BLACK HAWK 167 possible, and that statement, " His darn was raised in New Bruns- wick, and is described as a half-blood English mare, a very fine ani- mal, black, and a fast trotter", is set down without qualification by Mr. Linsley, a careful and conscientious compiler. Comparing this with the statements of Shadrack Seavey, who had Black Hawk from the day of his birth till five years old, " Mr. Kelly stated that he had the mare of a man who claimed to have brought her from Nova Scotia, and said she was of English blood " ; of Wingate Twombly, son of Ezekiel, whose property Black Hawk was foaled, " Mr. Kelly claimed he got her of a pedlar who represented that he brought her from Nova Scotia, and stated that her dam was imported " ; of A. R. Mathes, who bought the horse of Seavey, "I always understood she came from Nova Scotia to Durham", and, "The dam was a good- looking, large-sized, black mare, said to have come from Nova Scotia; also said to have been from English stock, and from experience since I should think she was"; and of C. H. Hayes, "The dam of Black Hawk was a black, stripe-faced mare from Nova Scotia. * Her dam was said to have been imported"; and it is seen at once that the evidence of this origin and blood of the dam of Black Hawk is about as strong as tradition can make it, even without the letter of Mr. Bisbee. The statements of Robert Burns, quoted in Mr. Bisbee's letter, are very striking. They are the only account we have of the origin of the dam of Black Hawk, purporting to be from personal knowl- edge, and this account, if there is no mistake in the identity of the ani- mal, comes ultimately from the breeder himself. When we received this letter, as its purport seemed to be that Black Hawk was bred by Mr. Jacques, we did not consider it valuable and so did not at that time follow it up. But on reflection we perceived that the main fact, the breeding of the dam of Black Hawk, of wrhich alone Judge Saunders would have personal knowledge, might have been correct, though the statement of transfers after the dentist took her to Rhode Island, being matters of report, might be inaccurate; or, it is possible that the mare passed from the dentist to Mr. Jacques, and, whether mated with Sherman by him or not, from him to the teamster that sold her to Mr. Kelly. Mr. Parlin states that Mr. Bellows' stud-books of Sherman begin with 1831. It is not certain that the horse was not kept the season of 1830 by Mr. Jacques at Charles- town. We have followed Mr. Linsley's statement that he was at Dover, but the advertisement of Woodbury Morgan for 1832, by Jesse Johnson, one of the best-informed horsemen of his day, states that Sherman Morgan "was kept at Charlestown, Massachusetts, the 1 68 THE MORGAN HORSE last two seasons ". (See page 146.) But whether this statement of Mr. Burns is the true solution or not, the preponderance of evidence is overwhelming that the mare came from either the province of New Brunswick or Nova Scotia, and was, in part at least, of thoroughbred blood. The following article, entitled " Reminiscences of Black Hawk", written by the Hon. George B. Loring, appeared also in the " American Cultivator": " LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES, ) LISBON, July 19, 1889. 5 " DEAR MR. PARLIN : Your interesting articles on Black Hawk carry me back to the time when this remarkable horse stood at the head as a sire of roadsters and trotters. I knew him well when he was owned by Benjamin Thurston of Lowell, and when he had just commenced his service. Not long before that he had been jointly purchased by William Brown of Haverhill and Thurston, who were greatly attracted by the speed of the colt, which his owner had brought to Haverhill for sale. In describing the young horse, Thurs- ton once said to me: 'He trotted so fast that I was scared'. He soon became well known, on account of his style and power, in all that region. Once a week Thurston used to lead or drive him into my native town, North Andover, a graceful, resolute little horse, which attracted great attention, and he was used by owners of some good mares in that town, which had descended from old Bellfounder through a powerful son owned by Colonel Moody Bridges, named Roulston. " From a stylish and excellent Morgan mare owned by my father Black Hawk produced a most wonderful colt, known afterwards as the Reed Horse in Lowell, and the Johnson Horse in Salem ; a stylish, beautiful horse, about fifteen and a half hands, of the finest bay color, with an even, resolute gait of about 2 140. Black Ralph was sired about the same time, out of a Roulston mare, bred by Major Adams, a prominent farmer in the town So was Lady Lawrence, dam a small- sized, powerful gray mare, bred by Josiah Crosby, and which made her well-remembered and beautiful race at Cambridge, I think was owned afterwards by Jonathan Phillips of Swampscott, and was killed by lightning while in his possession. Were Lady Lawrence alive to-day she would be queen of the track. Her gait was perfect, her stride was great, and her action and style were magnificent. From that day until now I have been so fortunate as to keep a strain of Black Hawk blood in my stable, either from the old horse or from his son, Trotting Childers. BLACK HAWK 169 "A son of Trotting Childers named Doncaster, which I sold to Mr. Paran Stevens, was a small horse of great speed and untiring en- durance. He could trot better than 2 130, and I never knew him to be tired. He left colts in and around Salem which were remarkable for courage and power. Only two, I think, remain. A pair of old horses, one by Childers and one by a son of Doncaster, are now in my stable, with a great record of labor and merit. A brown mare out of a white mare, a daughter of Doncaster, is, I think, as nearly per- fect as horse can be, and a great-granddaughter of Doncaster, by George Wilkes, Jr., dam by Smuggler, promises great speed, and has courage and energy. This mare, now four years old, has George Wilkes as a grandsire on her sire's side, and Smuggler as a grandsire on her dam's side. But it is Black Hawk blood in all these that I value, and I can safely say the best horses I have bred have possessed this strain. I do not mean to say they have all been fast, although some of them have been, but they have all those qualities which make a reliable, sensible, fearless, enduring horse. ''This is the kind of a horse that Black Hawk himself was. He was one of the strongest horses I ever knew. His dam was said to be of English blood. They used to say that Justin Mor- gan, small as he was, could at a dead lift pull more weight than any other horse in Vermont; and I have no doubt Black Hawk was capable of the same performance. He was admirably balanced. His stifles and gaskins were immense and beautifully formed. His back was short and strong. His shoulders and arms were very muscular. At the same time he was symmetrical and had no superfluous flesh. No horse ever had a handsomer head and neck than he had, and his intelligence was great. His power in har- ness was apparently equal to any weight. His gait was always level, and his break was an advantage rather than a hindrance to his speed. I have seen him pull an old-fashioned C-spring chaise at a rate almost speedy, and when he broke, even with this great weight be- hind him, he seemed to be running away, and he returned to his feet again as if he had only a sulky behind him. That a handsome, cheerful, powerful, well-made, good-gaited horse like this should have laid the foundation of a good family is perfectly natural. " It is not from cold-blooded horses that we get such a family as he founded. For while the Black Hawks may be second to the Hambletonians in 'producing turf performers', they are second to none in the production of sure-footed, intelligent and spirited animals for the road, in addition to their long list of trotters which you have so diligently and accurately made in the re- i yo THE MORGAN HORSE cent columns of the 'Cultivator'. Whatever may be said of other families, it can be truly said of the Black Hawks that they always improved the quality of the horse wherever they were intro- duced. If any horse has done better service to the stock of the country than Black Hawk, and Ethan Allen, and Daniel Lambert, and Gen. Knox, or if better brood mares than those you have named can be found, I am sure you would be glad of the list. For your presentation of the Black Hawk history and record, every lover of the horse should cordially thank you. Truly yours, GEORGE B. LORING". Mr. Benjamin Thurston of Lowell, who was for several years the owner of Black Hawk, under whose training he was brought out on the trotting course, and by whom he was sold to Mr. Hill, in 1844, in writing to Mr. Hill, under date of October /th, 1847, thus speaks: "I bought Black Hawk when he was five years old; for six years used him as my family horse, and think him, without exception, the finest horse I ever knew. I have owned many horses for the last twenty-five years, varying from ten to thirty-five at a time, and have also been in the habit of purchasing the best I could find for sale ; but if the choicest qualities of the best horses I ever owned were combined, I do not think they would produce an animal to surpass Black Hawk. In the first place, he is the best roadster I ever drew rein over. I have frequently driven him fifty miles in half a day, and once drove him sixty-three miles in seven hours and fifteen min- utes. He did it with perfect ease, and indeed I never saw him ap- pear fatigued. At the time I owned him, I believe he could have trotted one hundred miles in ten hours, or sixteen miles in one hour, or one mile in two minutes and forty seconds. In the second place, he has the best disposition of any horse I ever knew, and is perfectly safe for any lady to ride or drive. Thirdly, he will draw as kindly as any team horse. His stock is unequalled". Black Hawk often participated in trotting contests, usually driven by his owner, Mr. Thurston, and, so far as known, was never beaten. Records of but few of these contests have been preserved. Chester records two, a five-mile race for one thousand dollars, at Boston in 1842, which he won in 16 minutes; and a race at the same place, October 3d, 1843, two-mile heats, best three in five, for four hundred dollars, which Black Hawk won in straight heats ; time, 5 143, 5 148, 5 147. This gives him a record of sixteen minutes at five miles, and 5 143 at two miles. Chester gives him a mile harness record of 2:51^, which, it may be observed, is just half the time of the two-mile record above noted. Mr. Linsley says (Morgan Horses, BLACK HAWK 171 page 191): " Single miles he made at different times in 2 : 42 ", and such is his record in the Year Book. Early in 1847 the owners of Black Hawk, at the instance of Solomon W. Jewett, then a prominent breeder of Weybridge, Vermont, published a challenge to match Black Hawk against any entire horse in America, at the New York State fair the following autumn, on the following points : " First, perfectness of symmetry ; second, ease and elegance of action ; third, best and most perfectly broken to harness ; fourth, fastest trotting to single harness". The challenge was not accepted, but led to a trotting contest, at the fair last mentioned, between Black Hawk and the gray Morse Horse (son of European and sire of Alexander's Norman), which Black Hawk won, although in stud condition at the close of a very large season. This was his last regular race. Many sons of Black Hawk were sold at large prices. Wherever they went they were appreciated, and from them sprung families of surpassing elegance and the highest excellence for the general pur- poses of business and social life. The superiority of the family of Black Hawk as roadsters has, to a large extent, prevented their use upon the trotting turf. Never- theless from the ranks of the swift and stylish roadsters sprung from Black Hawk have been eliminated so many fast and enduring trot- ters that his fame as a progenitor of road horses scarcely surpasses his reputation as the founder of a trotting family. Mr. J. H. Sanders, in the" Breeder's Gazette", in April, 1 891, said: "The investigation into the pedigrees of the trotting horses of America, which we have been required to make in the preparation of the Breeder's Trotting Stud Book, has led us to put a higher estimate upon the blood of Black Hawk than has generally been accord- ed to him by writers upon the trotting horse. Indeed, speaking only from a general impression of the results, we are inclined to the opinion that the name of but one horse, Rysdyk's Hambletonian, will be found more frequently in the pedigrees of standard-bred trotters. "We run against this Black Hawk family in so many un- expected places in combination with other trotting strains, and find so many trotters scattered all over the country in whose veins no other recognized trotting blood is known to exist, that we are com- pelled to recognize him as a stallion of marked prepotency as a sire, and one in whose descendants the capacity and the disposition to trot fast exist to a very remarkable degree". The stud books of Black Hawk show the number of mares bred to him after he came to Bridport, Vermont, as follows : T72 THE MORGAN HORSE Season 1844 . 1845- 1846 . No. Mares No. Foals ... 50 ... 77 i34 186 187 1 80 200 169 84 170 92 81 1848 1849 1850 1852 1856 Whole number 1772 The books do not show the number of foals got after the second season. The price the first four seasons was ten dollars per season. It was then gradually raised and the last two seasons was one hundred dollars. The season that he had two hundred, sixty-four were bred the second time, twelve of the sixty-four a third time, two of the sixty- four the fourth time, and one of the sixty-four the fifth time.

On the other hand, comparatively few races in that period were re- corded, and doubtless many of his get trotted, and won races, that are not in the above list. Mr. Linsley mentions the following as having made the time set against their names, viz. ; Stockbridge Chief 2 144, Black Hawk Chief 2 :48 and Maynard's Black Hawk 2:50; but whether in races or trials is not stated. A careful summary of the tables of 2 130 trotters, at the close of 1892, shows that nearly fifteen hundred trace to Black Hawk, of \vhich over five hundred are in male line, thirty-one being by nine- teen sons ; one hundred and seventy-eight by eighty-one grandsons ; one hundred and eighty-four by ninety-five great-grandsons ; ninety- one by fifty-six great-great-grandsons; and thirty-six by sixteen great-great-great-grandsons. VII ETHAN ALLEN, HONEST ALLEN, DENNING ALLEN Ethan Allen, harness record 2:25*^, to pole with running mate 2:15, champion of the world at four years, champion of the world to pole and champion trotting stallion of the world when his records were made, was a bright bay with star and a faint, irregular stripe a few inches long extending upwards from between the nostrils ; full, flowing, black mane and tail ; both hind feet and the right fore foot white to just above the pasterns. He stood a trifle less than fifteen hands and weighed about one thousand pounds. His body was long for his height, and his proportions very symmetrical ; head hand- some and carried high ; ears delicate ; neck fine, of good length and clean cut in the throttle ; shoulders deep and oblique ; back and loin strong, coupling excellent; hips long, and quarters powerfully muscled. He was foaled June iSth, 1849; bred by Joel W. Holcomb, Ticonderoga, New York ; got by Black Hawk, son of Sherman Mor- gan: dam, a gray mare bred by John Field, Springfield, Vermont, got by Robin, or Red Robin, a horse owned by Moses G. Bates of Springfield, Vermont, pedigree unknown ; second dam, dark brown, bred by Mr. Bemis of Baltimore, Vermont; a mare of Morgan build and appearance, said to be Morgan; third dam, a chestnut mare brought to Chester, Vermont, by Dr. Chandler of that place, from Tunbridge, Vermont, and said to be by Justin Morgan. Ethan Allen was one of the best horses of any age or clime. As a colt he was a family pet. "You couldn't get him by the win- dow but that he would put his head in to get a piece of cake", says Mrs. Holcomb. " Of all the horses that have been favorites with the American people, no one has ever approximated the popularity of Ethan Allen. His remarkable beauty, his wonderful speed, his perfect action, and, above all, his kind and gentle disposition, made him the admiration and the pet of everybody", writes Mr. Wallace (2 Wallace's Monthly, 456). " :No one has ever raised a doubt as to his being the handsomest, finest-styled and most perfectly gaited trotter that has ever been produced ", writes Mr. Parlin of the " American 1 76 THE MORGAN HORSE Cultivator". " Grand old horse ! Others have beaten his time; a few others (and very few) have beaten his stud career, and other families have risen to greater popularity than his; but in all the course of trotting history no other stallion ever gained and held such wide-spread admiration from the people, or was ever so taken right to the public heart. What words can picture his grace of action, his perfect poise and animated glow ! He carried the magic wand that commanded admiration. To see was to admire. They loved him for himself. Long after he s.hall have passed away, the bright- est encomium that can be paid to the action of a trotting horse will be that he is gaited like old Ethan. That compasses all. It is the end of the law". ("Hark Comstock" [Peter C. Kellogg] in 1873.) A half interest in Ethan Allen, when a colt, was sold to Orville S. Roe of Shoreham, Vermont, and during the earlier years of his life he was owned jointly by Holcomb and Roe. During these years he was kept for service mostly at Larrabee's Point, Shoreham, Ver- mont, and some seasons at Cambridge, Massachusetts ; but he was used on the track, more or less, nearly or quite every season, trotting many races, the most of which he won. In 1862 he was sold to Frank Baker, who, after a time, sold him to Dan Mace and I. D. Walton. In 1866 he was purchased by J. E. Maynard of Boston, who sold him to Eph. Simmons, but afterwards bought him back, and again sold him, November 5th, 1868, to Wesley P. Balch of Boston, who in turn sold him to Col. H. S. Russell of Milton, Massa- chusetts. In 1866 and 1868 he was advertised to stand in Boston at one hundred dollars the season. In 1869 he was kept at Mystic Park, Medford, Massachusetts, at one hundred dollars the season, and in 1 870 at the same place at two hundred dollars the season. He was finally sold, October i/th, 1870, to Col. AmasaSprague of Providence, Rhode Island, for seven thousand five hundred dollars. Col. Sprague kept him at Providence for a time and then sent him to the Sprague and Akers stock farm at Lawrence, Kansas, where he passed a serene old age in peace and comfort, and died on the loth of September, 1876, in his twenty-eighth year. He was buried at the entrance of the trotting park, and there a suitable monument was erected to his memory. His skeleton was afterwards exhumed and now stands in the Museum of Natural History at Lawrence. Perhaps no other horse has ever done so much service both in the stud and on the track, the same seasons. It appears that all his trotters with fastest records, as well as all his most noted sires, were got during the pe- riod while he was kept at Shoreham. Born the same year as Rys- dyk's Hambletonian, he sired up to 1872 a precisely equal number ETHAN ALLEN 177 of 2 130 trotters; and it would appear not unlikely that had he staid upon the stock farm at Shoreham, as his great competitor did at Chester, and, like him, been used solely for stock purposes, he would now have to his credit as full a 2:30 list, and that many other such sires as Daniel Lambert, Holabird's Ethan Allen, DeLong's Ethan Allen, American Ethan, Bacon's Ethan Allen and Honest Allen, would have been left to fill the country with the finest race of roadsters and some of the fastest trotters known to the world. All that was known of the origin of the dam of Ethan Allen prior to our investigations was that she was owned by Rufus Rising of Hague, New York, about 1835 ; tnat he said he got her in Vermont, and that she came from over the Green Mountains. After a long and expensive investigation we succeeded in tracing her to her breeder, and learning her entire history, which is this : In the year 1834, Frederick A. Leland (until his death, in 1891, a substantial and reliable citizen of Middlebury, Vermont) was work- ing for John Field, a farmer of Springfield, Windsor county, Vermont, and was present when Mr. Field bred his dark brown or black mare, known as the Burns mare, to the Moses G. Bates horse, Robin or Red Robin. This was frequently stated by Mr. Leland while living. The produce, foaled in April, 1830, was a mouse-colored filly that became gray ; Mr. Leland was the first to see the filly after she was foaled. Leland's time was out, and he went away the same April, and engaged in peddling, and returned to Mr. Field's when the filly was four years old, traded with Field for her and took her to a place he had in Sherburne, Vermont, where she was wintered the winter of 1834—5. In the spring following Mr. Leland took her over the mountain to Middlebury, put her in a new pedlar's wagon that he had made there, and drove her to Albany, New York, where he got a load of goods ; drove from there to Fair Haven, Vermont, and there met I. C. Shaw, who was engaged with him in the business. Shaw took the gray mare and drove his route with her, which was along the lake, including, on the New York side, the towns of Hague, Schroon, etc. Leland, with another team, peddled on the Vermont side, and they came back and met at Whitehall, New York. Here the gray mare, a nervous animal, got frightened and ran away, doing no damage, but convincing Leland that she was not steady enough for that busi- ness. She was afraid of the bearskin that was used over the withers, so that it could not be used with her, and she was frightened when- ever goods were taken from the cart. Thereupon Leland directed Shaw to sell or trade the mare ; soon afterward he heard from Shaw that he had a customer for the mare, and a meeting was arranged at 178 THE MORGAN HORSE Apollos Austin's in Orwell. Leland went there, and the customer was introduced by Shaw as Rufus Rising of Hague ; the mare was there traded to Rising for a gray gelding, and Rising took her away. This was early in July, 1835. The next year Mr. Rising was in Mid- dlebury with the mare ; Mr. Leland met him there and went to the stable of the Middlebury House and saw the mare. Leland was acquainted with J. W. Holcomb, and, in 1848, saw Holcomb with the gray mare at David Hill's, and saw the mare bred to Black Hawk. It had been talked over several times between Leland and Holcomb that he had the gray mare that Leland traded to Rising. The above is the substance of Mr. Leland's statements as taken in his lifetime. It is remarkably corroborated in all its essential points by a large amount of evidence concerning the mare that we had gathered previous to meeting Mr. Leland. Rufus Rising, a well-to-do farmer of Hague, took the mare home and kept her one or two years, and bred a colt from her; and then, at the place of Curtis Balcom in Hague (who also testifies to the fact), he sold her to George Johnson of Hague. Johnson kept her till the fall of 1838, when he sold her to Warner Cook of Hague for sixty- five dollars. George Johnson's brother, Hoyt Johnson, with whom we have talked, knew this mare from the time she was brought into Hague to the time of her death. The delivery from George John- son to Warner Cook was made in the presence of Hoyt Johnson and his wife, Rebecca, and they both recollect it perfectly, and fix the date by the birth of one of their children that was born two or three months before. Mr. Cook, who was a man weighing two hundred pounds, used to ride the mare that fall, and Gustavus Wicker of Ticonderoga, who had a little trial of speed with him, says the mare would trot close to a three-minute gait with Cook on her back. The next season, Warner Cook, who lived near Lake George, sent the mare down to his son William H., who owned the present Rev. Joseph Cook place in Ticonderoga, and he used her until he sold his farm and moved back to his father's place to take charge of the old gentle- man's affairs, in October, 1840, taking the mare with him. These facts are attested by Mrs. W. H. Cook, who is still living; by the record of the deed of the farm, and also by other witnesses. The mare was put to heavy work on a team and got a spavin, probably the next winter. She was put to breeding and produced in 1842, 1843 and 1 844 three valuable colts by Young Sir Charles (Surge Horse), and was sold by William H. Cook, in the summer of 1844, to George Weed of Ticonderoga, with her last foal by her side, for fifty dollars, ETHAN ALLEN 179 which was paid in boating. Weed kept her till fall, and swapped her to J. W. Holcomb. In 1845 sne produced a bay filly by Young Sir Charles; in 1846, the black mare, Black Hawk Maid 2:37, by Black Hawk; in 1847, Red Leg (a gray colt with a red leg), a fast trotter, by Black Hawk; in 1848, a chestnut filly that died at three years, by Wicker's Sir Walter; in 1849, the bay colt Ethan Allen by Black Hawk; in 1850, missed to Black Hawk, having produced for eight consecutive years; and in 1851, died in foal to Black Hawk. The following descriptions of this remarkable mare are given in the language of the persons named : Hoyt Johnson, who knew her first when Rising had her, de- scribes her at that time (1835) as " a small, low, thick-built mare, kind and good to work. She had good full mane and tail ; was iron gray when I first knew her. She was a handsome mare, handsome made, round all over; good roadster; long hips; square behind; smooth, handsome limbs; not very long neck". Justus B. Rising of Ticonderoga, a nephew of Rufus, who knew the mare at the same time and used to see her in his uncle's pasture (1837) w*th a colt by her side, says: "She was not a big mare; probably in good condition, ten hundred pounds. She was a regu- lar jumper ; couldn't keep her anywhere. She was a good-bodied mare, chunked; that is, there was a good deal of her; about medium height, good head and neck ; a good traveler, never knew of her being fast, but active. She had good mane, and tail nearly down to the ground ". Azro M. Bailey, late of Ticonderoga, who long kept a livery stable, was a keen judge of a horse, and knew the mare from the time Warner Cook got her (1838), said: " She was not very large; would weigh nine hundred and fifty pounds in good flesh ; pretty long body ; pretty long, slim neck ; carried her head up well. She was a screamer on the road. I once drove her to Weybridge, Ver- mont, by the side of a chestnut mare. I never drove a better team. I think this was in 1842. She was sound. She was full fifteen hands ; pretty good chest ; pretty broad ; shoulder good ; hind leg rather crooked ; you would call her a little leggy. She had a very good back ; long hip ; legs rather fine, not heavy. She had a splen- did ear, slim, thin, pretty good length, stuck them right up ; hand- some mane and tail, good length, but not what you would call heavy or bushy ; long slim head, wide between the eyes ; not a Roman nose, a mare-faced head, a little inclined to be dishing; a first-rate eye, large and bold-looking, a mare of great intelligence. She was as fine a roader as you ever sat behind ; ambitious, full of vim all day long". i8o THE MORGAN HORSE Mrs. W. H. Cook describes her as a very spirited animal when they first had her, and so much afraid of a buffalo robe that it was difficult to drive her with one in the carriage. Mrs. Cook frequently drove the mare when her husband had her. Rev. Joseph Cook, who is a son of William H. Cook, says: " She had a long hip, fine limbs, rather long neck, and was very graceful. She was neither slim nor stout; she was very docile and intelligent, rather nervous. She had the graceful shape of a high- blooded horse; she had the look of an aristocrat". Concerning the origin of this Moses Bates horse, Robin or Red Robin, sire of the dam of Ethan Allen, the most searching in- vestigation leaves us in doubt. Mr. F. A. Leland draws his picture thus: "Red Robin was as handsome a bay horse as ever you saw; a playful horse, supple as a fox ; as handsome as Ethan Allen, who looked like him". Mr. A. Litchfield of Springfield, Vermont, who knew Robin well, says he was a round-made, nice, pretty, bay horse, not a large horse; would not weigh over ten hundred pounds, a beautiful horse ; a nice traveler and a trotter. He was also a good draft horse, and they used to drive him on a team to Boston. He was about the size of Gifford Morgan; had a longer hip; a very pretty horse, with mane and tail about as near right as could be. Mr. Bates gave the horse to his son-in-law, James A. Grimes, who lived on the Field farm in Springfield. Mr. Litchfield has an impression that Robin came from the Gills. The Gills and the Bates were related. Thinks he may have been by a Gill horse. Mr. Parker of Springfield, Vermont, born in 1 8 1 1 , says : " Robin was a Morgan-built horse, about fifteen hands; thick set; he had the go in him. If it had been the trotting days, he would have been a sporting horse ; he went right to the ground, and carried his feet be- hind outside of his forward ones. My father raised a colt from him, that did wonders down country. Sold at a high price and became a trotter". Mr. Parker thinks Moses Bates or the Gills raised Robin. Mrs. Gill of Springfield, over ninety years old, remembered that previous to 1819 her husband's father, Amos Gill of Springfield, had two red horses, one, she thinks, a son of the other. Mr. Howe of Springfield, an old gentleman, thinks Amos Gill had a stallion before he had Black Prince. He says that Robin was a full-grown horse, owned by Moses Bates, in 1820. Abner Bisbee of Springfield, Vermont, says: "I think Moses Bates raised Robin, a small bay horse. When I first knew him, the horse was perhaps two years old. I was a boy then, ten or twelve. ETHAN ALLEN 181 I was born in 1806. Mr. Bates kept him a number of years and used him as a stock horse. I should call him about nine or ten hundred pounds; a very pretty horse, not very thick set, not very slim; just about as good-shaped a horse as you could make him, and a good traveler". David Lockwood, Springfield, Vermont, says : " I went to live with Moses Bates when I was eleven years old; I was born March /th, 1816. I lived with James A. Grimes, Moses Bates' son-in-law, the fall I was fourteen; Mr. Grimes had Robin in his possession the sum- mer before. That winter after I was fourteen, 1830—31, Robin went to Shipton, Canada. Robin was about my age. He was a dark red, smooth and handsome as a dollar, about ten hundred pounds. He wasn't a tall horse, a good fair-sized horse, and a good-built horse. I am pretty sure Mr. Bates raised him from a colt and presume he was his when foaled. Have heard him tell of his running at the stack and getting the straw on him when he was a colt. Always called him old Robin. I should think he was of Morgan descent. He wras a Morgan-shaped horse anyway". George W. Morrison of Rockingham, Vermont, writes : " I knew very well the Robin horse, but cannot tell you much about him. Charles Sherwin of Weathersfield had a pair got by Robin that he sold to Parker of Ludlow for about four hundred dollars. Parker sold those horses to go South, for sixteen hundred dollars; a fine pair". E. W. Bisbee of Moretown, Vermont, born at Springfield, Ver- mont, a gentleman of high character and intelligence, in a letter written us November 29th, 1891, thus describes Red Robin: "He was a good-looking horse, and a good-feeling one when in con- dition ; a bright bay color, heavy black mane and tail, white hind feet and a star ; long-bodied, and heavy, flat limbs; foaled 1816; weight, about ten hundred pounds, and fourteen and one-half hands high ; a little sway-backed, but not so much as old Sherman. Is not that a good description of an old-time Morgan horse? It is correct. "I find by the books that old Justin was owned, about that time, by Joel Goss of Claremont, New Hampshire, only about three or four miles from the Bates place. I give the age of the horse on the state- ment of Mr. Bates that the horse in 1830 was fourteen years old". Mr. Bisbee, on another occasion, wrote: "I have investigated the matter, and come to the honest conclusion that he [Red Robin] was a son of old Justin Morgan". Mr. Bisbee writes again, November 22d, 1892: "I knew Red Robin well from 1825 to 1830. Saw him often, and have a vivid 1 82 THE MORGAN HORSE impression at this distant day of how he looked and appeared. I am strong in the belief that he was of Morgan blood, foaled about the year 1816 and sired by the celebrated old Justin Morgan horse". We have given the substance of all the evidence which we have been able to get relative to the history of Red Robin. It is proba- ble that he was foaled in 1816, and that he came into the hands of Moses Bates before 1820. Possibly Moses Bates bred him. It is more probable that Amos Gill was the breeder. At best, his breeder and breeding are purely matter of conjecture ; but the opinion of Mr. Bisbee, who knew him well, that he was by the Justin Morgan, is very probably correct. It certainly is sustained by the character and ap- pearance of the horse, and by the fact that the original Morgan horse stood near where he was begotten, and not improbably included in his circuit the town of Springfield itself, in 1815, the year that Robin is supposed to have been bred. Ethan Allen was capable of great bursts of speed. Darius Tall- man, the eminent New York horseman, says: "He could outspeed at the score even Flora Temple herself". Gen. U. S. Grant, when making his tour, in 1874, after enjoying a ride behind Ethan Allen, commissioned Mr. Akers to buy two brood mares and breed them to him. One of the most graphic sketches of Ethan Allen ever written was by John H. Wallace, then editor of the "American Trotting Register", and published in " Wallace's Monthly" of April, 1877. The parts of the article describing the horse and his most famous victory are here given entire : "On the 2 ist of June, 1867, on the Fashion course, it was my good fortune to witness the crowning event of his life. Some three weeks before, Ethan, with a running mate, had beaten Brown George and running mate in very fast time, scoring one heat in 2:19. This made horsemen open their eyes, and there at once arose a difference of opinion about the advantage to the trotter of having a runner hitched with him, to pull the weight. This resulted in a match for twenty-five hundred dollars a side, to trot Ethan and running mate against Dexter, who was then considered invincible. As the day approached, the bet- ting was about even; but the evening before the race, word came from the course that Ethan's running mate had fallen lame, and could not go, but they would try to get Brown George's running mate, then in Connecticut, to take the place of the lame runner. As the horses were strangers to each other, it was justly concluded the change gave Dexter a great advantage, and the betting at once changed from ETHAN ALLEN 185, even to two to one on Dexter. Long before noon the crowd began to assemble, and sporting men everywhere were shaking rolls of greenbacks over their heads, shouting, 'Two to one on Dexter'. I met a friend from Chicago, who sometimes speculates a little, and when he told me he was betting 'two to one on Dexter', I took the liberty of advising him to be cautious, for I thought the team would win the race, and that its backers knew \vhat they were doing. Before the hour arrived, I secured a seat on the ladies' stand, from which every foot of the course and the countless multitude of peo- ple could be taken in at a glance. The vehicles were simply incal- culable, and the people were like a vast sea. The multitude was esti- mated at forty thousand ! " Upon the arrival of the hour, the judges ascended the stand, and rang up the horses, when the backers of the team came forward, explained the mishap that had befallen the runner, that they had Brown George's mate on the ground, but, as he and Ethan had never been hitched together, they were unwilling to risk so large a sum, and closed the race by paying one thousand two hundred and fifty dollars forfeit. When this announcement was made, there was a general murmur that spread, step by step, through all the vast mul- titude. The betting fraternity were just where they started, and every spectator realized a feeling of disgust at the whole management. As soon as this had had time to exert its intended effect upon the crowd, the backers of the team came forward again, and, expressing their un- willingness to have the people go away dissatisfied, proposed a little match of two hundred and fifty dollars a side, which was promptly accepted by the Dexter party ; and when it was known that there would be a race after all, the shout of the multitude was like the voice of many waters. This being a new race, the betting men had to commence again. The surroundings of the pool stands were packed with an eager and excited crowd, anxious to get on their money at two, and, rather than miss, at three to one on Dexter. The work of the auctioneers was 'short, sharp, and decisive', and the tickets were away up in the hundreds, and oftentimes in the thousands. But the pool stands did not seem to accommodate more than a small fraction of those anxious to invest, and in all directions, in the surg- ing crowd, hands were in the air, filled with rolls of greenbacks, and shouting, 'two to one on Dexter' ! I was curious to note what be- came of these noisy offers, and I soon observed that a quiet-looking man came along, took all one party had to invest, and then quietly went to another of the shouters, and then another, and so on, till I think every one who had money to invest at that rate was accommo- 1 84 THE MORGAN HORSE dated. The amount of money bet was enormous, no doubt aggre- gating a quarter of a million in a few minutes. "When the horses appeared upon the track to warm up for the race, Dexter, driven by the accomplished reinsman, Budd Doble, was greeted with a shout of applause. Soon the team appeared, and behind it sat the great master of trotting tactics, Dan Mace. His face, which has so often been a puzzle to thousands, had no mask over it on this occasion. It spoke only that intense earnestness that indicates the near approach of a supreme moment. The team was hitched to a light skeleton wagon; Ethan wore breeching, and beside him was a great, strong race-horse, fit to run for a man's life. His traces were long enough to fully extend himself, but they were so much shorter than Ethan's that he had to take the weight. Dexter drew the inside, and on the first trial they got the 'send-off', without either one having six inches the advantage. When they got the word, the flight of speed was absolutely terrific, so far beyond anything I had ever witnessed in a trotting horse that I felt the hair rising on my head. The running horse was next to me, and, notwithstanding my elevation, Ethan was stretched out so near the ground that I could see nothing of him but his ears. I fully believe that for several rods at this point they were going at a two-minute gait. " It was impossible that this terrible pace could be maintained long, and just before reaching the first turn, Dexter's head began to swim, and the team passed him, and took the track, reaching the first quarter pole in thirty-two seconds, with Dexter three or four lengths behind. The same lightning speed was kept up through the second quarter, reaching the half-mile pole in I 104, with Dexter still farther in the rear. Mace then took a pull on his team, and came home a winner by six or eight lengths, in 2:15. When this time was put on the blackboard, the response of the multitude was like the roar of old ocean. Although some distance away, through the second quarter of this heat, I had a fair, unobstructed side-view of the stallion and of his action, when going at the lightning rate of 2 :o8 to the mile. I could not observe that he received the slightest degree of propulsion from the running horse; and my conviction was then, and is now, that any such propulsion would have interfered with his own unapproachable action, and would have retarded, rather than helped him. The most noticeable feature in his style of movement was the remarkable lowness to which he dropped his body, and the straight gliding line it maintained at that elevation. "The team now had the inside, and in the first attempt they were started for the second heat, but they did not appear to me to be ETHAN ALLEN 185 going as fast as the first heat. Before they had gone many rods Ethan lost his stride, and Dexter took the track at the very spot where he had lost it in the first heat. The team soon got to work, and, near the beginning of the second quarter, collared Dexter, but the stallion broke soon after, and fell back, not yards nor lengths, but rods, before he caught. Incredible as it may seem, when he again got his feet he put on such a burst of speed as to overhaul the flying Dexter in the third quarter, when he broke again, and Mace had to pull him nearly to a standstill before he recovered. Dexter was now a full distance ahead, and the heat appeared to be his beyond all peradventure. I was watching the team in its troubles very closely, and my idea of the distance lost was the result of a de- liberate and careful estimate at the moment ; and the query in my mind then was, whether the team could save its distance. At last the old horse struck his gait, and it was like a dart from a catapult, or a ball from a rifle. The team not only saved its distance, but beat Dexter home, five or six lengths, in 2:16. "In the third heat Mace had it all his own way throughout, com- ing home the winner of the race in 2 119. The backers of Dexter, up to the very last, placed great reliance on his well-known staying qualities ; but the last heat showed that the terrible struggle had told upon him more distressingly than on the team. It is said by thpse who timed Dexter privately that he trotted the three heats in 2:17, 2:18, 2:21. " If ever there was an honest race trotted, this was one, but there was such a specimen of sharp diplomacy, of 'diamond cut diamond', in the preliminaries, as is seldom witnessed, even on a race course. It is not probable that Ethan's intended running mate fell amiss at all, the evening before, as represented ; and if she did, it was not possible to send to Connecticut for another horse, and have him there early the morning of the race, as was pretended. This was a mere ruse put out to get the advantage of the long odds. The back- ers of the team knew just how the horses would work and knew they had speed enough to beat any horse on earth. When the race was called, and they came forward and paid forfeit, it was merely to give the ' two-to-one-on-Dexter ' money encouragement to come out. It did come out most vociferously, and was all quietly taken. It was said John Morrissey was the manager-in-chief, and that his share of the winnings amounted to about forty thousand dollars. "After witnessing the second heat, and studying it carefully, I am firmly of the opinion the team could have gone the first heat in 2:12 if it had been necessary". i86 THE MORGAN HORSE 0 t.1 «"E -8 t: "§ *° "H £ d |rrt S SIRE OF -3 G ctf o c3 S "6 « 8 i d > :,o g , Sire of Dam.

The fastest trotter, in single harness, in the Morgan family is Lord Clinton, race record 2:10^. Because of this we add here a sketch of Honest Allen, and his son Denning Allen, sire of Lord Clinton. HONEST ALLEN, 2 128 to pole, was chestnut with blaze in face, fourteen and three-quarter hands in height and weighed nine hundred and fifty pounds. He was bred by S. H. Edgerly, Manchester, New Hampshire, got by Ethan Allen, son of Black Hawk, and was foaled in 1855. His dam was chestnut, of Morgan type, said to be by the Brooks Horse, son of Sherman Morgan; and second dam by a horse called Cock of the Rock. Honest Allen was sold in 1857 to G. Rol- lins, Manchester, New Hampshire, who sold him in 1858 to H. D. Nichols of same place, and he to Richmond Smith, Concord, New Hampshire. Mr. Smith sold him to VV. L. Simmons of New York, who, after 1873, kept him. at Ashland Park, Lexington, Kentucky. He died in 1883. i88 THE MORGAN HORSE John B. Clark, editor of " Mirror and Farmer", Manchester, New Hampshire, writes : " The dam of Honest Allen was a chest- nut mare of the Morgan type brought to Manchester from Franconia and sold to a stable-keeper named Stephen James, now dead. Her owner in Franconia said he traded and got her out of a stage team in Vermont. She was a mare of considerable speed, great finish and nice appearance. She was dam of White Mountain Morgan, and several others that could trot in 2 150 or better. Honest Allen was a horse of the finest disposition, and imparted that quality to all his get. Had a fine thoroughbred head, beautiful eye, nice back, strong limbs, excellent feet. He was a natural trotter". Mr. Richmond Smith says: "The dam was golden chestnut, with one or more white feet, decidedly of Morgan pattern".

DENNING ALLEN is bay, fifteen and a half hands high and weighs ten hundred and thirty pounds. He was bred by J. B. Bowman, Lexington, Kentucky; got by Honest Allen, son of Ethan Allen, and was foaled in 1874: dam, Rena, black or brown with four white feet, foaled 1866, said to be by Ward's Flying Cloud, son of Black Hawk. Denning Allen was sold at public sale October 7th, 1878, to Gen. D. P. Upham, Little Rock, Arkansas, and in 1882 by his admin- istrator to E. S. Rice, Little Rock, who sold April ist, 1893, to Joseph Battell, Middlebury, Vermont. J. B. Bowman states in his sale catalogue of 1878 that Rena is a premium animal and has trotted **' DENNING ALLEN 189 inside of three minutes. He gives pedigree as above. He says in the catalogue : " Denning Allen is a horse of great promise, can trot in 2 : 45 , without any special training ; as a stallion he also has great promise, as will be seen from his colts to be exhibited on the day of sale". A correspondent of the "Middlebury Register" writes of him as follows : "Denning Allen shows the highest equine beauty, com- bined harmoniously with the noblest exhibition of strength and sub- stance. He has been kept in a region of few trotting-bred animals, and has done little service in the stud, being used largely as a driv- ing horse. He is said to have gotten about one hundred colts in the neighborhood of Little Rock ; some of them showing much speed. He got the famous black gelding, Lord Clinton, from a little brown old mare whose breeding is not known. Lord Clinton, at the end of last season, had a list of twenty trotting victories to his credit, sixty heats in 2 130 and better, and a race record of 2 : ioj^ in the second heat of a race which he won ; a race record that at the time it was made had never been beaten by a stallion or gelding. To show the quality that he displayed in his races we will copy the summaries of two, adding the records, as they stand, of the defeated horses : " INDEPENDENCE, IOWA, September i, 1892.

Denning Allen was awarded ist premium for Morgan stallions five years old or over, and sweepstakes for Morgan stallions of any age, at the World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago, Illinois, 1893. He also received the very high compliment of being selected by Max Landsberg, the noted sculptor, sent out by the German govern- ment to take models of such American horses at the World's Fair, as he thought desirable for use in the agricultural schools of Germany. Herr Landsberg selected Denning Allen, and Columbian Jessie by 1 9o DENNING ALLEN Daniel Lambert, the Hambletonian stallion Ambassador, by George Wilkes, several American trotters and a mustang, in all eight. Lord Clinton several times in 1893 equalled his record; and in the great race for the Columbian Exposition stake at Chicago, Sept. 1 4th, 1 5th and i6th, 1893, won one heat, took a part of the purse, and was timed separately in the first heat in 2 :o8. When it is remembered that he has never had the advantage of being in the most skilled hands, that in this case certainly ought to have been equal to winning the race, it will readily be perceived that he is one of the best trotters that has yet been produced. Of this race " Clark's Horse Review" says: " No such field ever before started in America. The slowest by the records was Alvin, 2:11^; then the figures began to drop, Pixley and Ryland T. each being a half second faster, Nightingale and Greenleaf coming next with 2 : io^4 each, then Lord Clinton, 2:10^, Little Albert and Walter E., 2 : 10 each, Alix, 2 :og^, and Hulda, 2 :o8^, making up a lot of ten with track records averaging 2:101-3. * * "The scoring was protracted, and not until the tenth trial did Starter Walker get them well enough lined across the track to give the word, Little Albert then being back and off his stride. Green- leaf almost immediately broke and Lord Clinton sailed off safely at the pole. Hickok immediately shot Hulda out of the bunch and took her close to Clinton on the outside, Alvin lying next at the rail and Alix hard upon Hulda's heels. No sooner were they straight- ened into the back stretch than Hickok began to team the favorite, and she stepped up alongside of Clinton and they went together to the half at a heart-breaking pace, the timers marking i :O3^. The second quarter had been trotted in 31 seconds, and there was a buzz of 'They'll break the race record.' ***** It was a tremendous finish, and as the two mares flew under the wire none but the judges could separate them. When Alix's number went up there was a prolonged roar, which swelled into a deafening one as the timers hung out 2 :o/^. The little mare, winning by a short head, had broken the race record, while Pixley's time could not be separated from hers, and Lord Clinton, who trotted a magni- ficent mile, was timed in flat 2 :o8, finishing but half an open length behind ". VIII DANIEL LAMBERT Daniel Lambert was one of the greatest speed sires of the world and also got many colts of extraordinary beauty. He was a light chestnut or sorrel with stripe in the face and left hind foot white, flaxen mane and tail ; bred by William H. Cook, Ticonderoga, New York; got by Ethan Allen, and foaled in 1858. His height was nearly fifteen and a half hands, and he weighed ten hundred and thirty pounds. His dam was Fanny Cook, a high-strung, handsome chest- nut mare, bred by Montfort Van Kleek, Chester, New York, got by Abdallah, son of Mambrino ; second dam described by David Rowe, Chester, New York, who knew her well, as a chestnut, high strung, a natural trotter, bred by Montfort Van Kleek, then living in Dutchess county, New York, got by Stockholm's American Star, son of Duroc, by imported Diomed ; third dam bought by Montfort Van Kleek in Dutchess county, New York, breeder and breeding unknown. The statement that this third dam was by a horse called Red Bird is entirely without foundation. Daniel Lambert was thus described by S. W. Parlin, Esq., Boston: "He is a remarkably handsome, active, well-preserved horse of his age. When in his prime no horse could be found to compare with him in beauty of form, elegance of style, grace of carriage, ease and elasticity of gait, excellence of quality, and fineness of finish com- bined. He is of the Morgan pattern, standing about fifteen hands ; has a neat, bony head ; large, expressive eyes, set well apart ; short, lively ears, always carried erect ; clean-cut throttle ; handsomely- arched neck of good length, well set upon strong, oblique shoulders, giving him naturally an upheaded, lofty appearance. His back is of medium length, and very strong; ribs well sprung from the spine, giving him a round barrel, which is deep, of good length, and ribbed closely to the hips ; loin broad and well muscled ; coupling strong and smooth ; hips long and roundly turned ; rump rather straight, the whirlbone and tail being set high ; quarters well muscled ; hocks well let down ; forearms long, broad and muscular ; cannons short, the bone 1 92 THE MORGAN HORSE being of good size in proportion to weight of body. His hind leg is fairly straight, but the lower part is joined to the hock at something of an angle, giving it the conformation found in many speedy trotters. His pasterns are short and strong, feet well shaped, and of size in proportion to that of body and limbs. By common consent the Morgans have enjoyed the reputation of being the most beautiful horses, as a family, ever produced on this continent, and Lambert, when in his prime, was one of the most beautiful of that family. Few horses have ever lived that possessed greater power of stamping their offspring with the above characteristics, and imparting the ability to perpetuate them through succeeding generations". He was sold, when four months old, to John Porter, Ticonderoga, New York, for three hundred dollars. R. S. Denny of Boston paid three thousand dollars for him when he was coming five, and kept him at Watertown, Massachusetts. He sold him to Benjamin Bates, who sent him to the Cream Hill Stock farm, Shoreham, Ver- mont, then under the management of A. C. Harris, where he made his first season in 1866. Previously he had been used but little for stock purposes. He remained at Shoreham doing an increasing busi- ness through the season of 1877, when, upon the death of Mr. Bates, he went to the Bates farm at Watertown, Massachusetts. In the fall of 1880 he was sold to David Snow of Andover, Massachusetts, and in the fall of 1884, to a company at Middlebury, Vermont, and kept at the Bread Loaf Stock farms, Middlebury and Weybridge, Vermont, until his death, June 29th, 1 889. He was in vigorous health and without blemish to the day preceding his death. It is understood that he was mated with over one thousand and forty mares while at Shoreham, but the number of foals is not known. We understand that the number got in Massachusetts was not large. After returning to Middlebury he got about thirty. Had Lambert remained in Vermont, we think his list of trotters would have been doubled. And had the effort been made to develop his colts, which has been made with the get of many noted trotting sires, time records being admitted, we are confident that his two-thirty list could have been increased to several hundred. The speed of Lambert was never developed, yet he was a natural trotter. As a three-year-old Dan Mace drove him a winning race at Chelsea, Massachusetts, October 22d, 1861, and gave him a record of 2 142. It is said that after this race Mr. Mace offered to trot him against any three-year-old in the world for five or ten thousand dollars. We quote again from Mr. Parlin : "Mr. Denny, when he bought Lambert, took him to Saratoga, New York, under the name DANIEL LAMBERT 193 of 'Hippomenes'. He had been previously known as the Porter colt. He produced there a marked sensation, not only on account of his matchless style and beauty, but for his remarkable speed also, which was sufficient to make him the acknowledged king of the road, even at that famous resort of noted horsemen. While he has proved himself far superior to any other horse that ever stood in New Eng- land as a progenitor of trotters, yet as a sire of handsome, stylish, spirited roadsters, with speed enough for a lively brush on the road, he has now still greater distinction, and in this respect has probably never been equalled. There are scores of his sons and daughters used as roadsters, which were never trained for speed, and never stepped upon the track, that can beat a 2 130 horse down the road with ease, and have beauty enough to win the admiration of any horseman. The most of Lambert's get are pure, open gaited trot- ters which need neither boots nor weights. They are also free, cheerful drivers, willing at all times to do their best without stimu- lation from the lash". SIRE OF Mil Foaled. £ 'E i cS U ^ >^ 11 ij Sire of Dam.

IX RANDOLPH MORGAN, JENNISON COLT, MORRILL RANDOLPH MORGAN, also known by the many names of Randolph Horse, Morgan Bulrush, Young Morgan Bulrush, Little Randolph, Little Bulrush, Weston Horse, Edson Horse, Goss Horse, and Buck- minster Horse, was dark bay with small star, heavy mane and tail, fourteen and a half hands high and weighed about nine hundred and fifty pounds. He was bred by Mr. Weston of Randolph, Vermont, got by Bulrush Morgan, son of Justin Morgan, and foaled about 1820. His dam is untraced. He was purchased by John Goss of Danville, Vermont, about 1825, and taken to Danville; was after- wards owned by John Buckminster of Danville, who advertised in the "Danville North Star", May 10, 1834: "A number of real Mor- gan horses selected from a dozen of that blood". Buckminster sold the horse to H. C. Babcock of Danville, who called him Morgan Bulrush and advertised him in the " North Star" as follows: " Morgan Bulrush. H. C. Babcock would inform the public that he has the celebrated Morgan horse, called the Morgan Bulrush, or better known by the name of the Randolph Horse. His stock is too well known by all in this vicinity to need any recommendation. Will Stand at Bliss's Inn, Cabot; Farrington's, Walden, and War- ner's, Hardwick. Danville, May 29, 1839". Mr. Babcock advertises Morgan Bulrush again in 1840. Some five years later he was purchased by Andrew McFarlane, then of Barton, but now of Coventry, Vermont, and he died his property about 1846. He seems, at different times, to have won the names of all his owners but the last. In an advertisement of the Morrill Horse, dated Danville, May 27, 1852, in the "North Star", French Morrill says : " The horse is of Morgan blood, sired by a colt of the old Weston or Randolph Horse, so-called, formerly owned by John Buckminster, late of Danville". In an interview with us, Mr. Morrill said : " The Randolph Horse was a dark bay with heavy mane, tail and foretop ; could trot easily in about three minutes ; a 198 THE MORGAN HORSE horse of wonderful endurance. He was four or five years old when brought here. Everybody liked him ". Mr. Aaron Smith of Dan- ville said : " He was called the Weston Horse, Goss Horse, Buck- minster Horse, and Randolph Horse". Again he was described to us by one who knew him well as "a good-styled horse, about as good as there was; a strong, resolute horse that would endure a great deal of hardship". Mr. Jennison, breeder of the Jennison Colt, said of him : "He could trot like the wind and was a beauty". All agree that he was a very beautiful horse of the Morgan pat- tern, and a great trotter for his day. From his type and character- istics, and the locality where he was bred, it is quite probable that he inherited Morgan blood from his dam. He was the sire of the Jennison Colt, which got old Morrill, also sire of second dam of Hav- iland 2:29^, and second dam of Young Morrill 2 131, winner of eleven races. THE JENNISON COLT was a bright cherry bay with star and black points, full and very handsome flowing mane and tail, nearly sixteen hands high and weighed twelve hundred and twenty-four pounds. He was bred by Abijah Jennison, Walden, Vermont, got by Young Bulrush (Randolph Morgan), son of Bulrush Morgan, and was foaled in 1 841 . His dam was black with brown nose and flanks, sixteen hands, thirteen hundred pounds, lazy and dull, but a fast pacer and very powerful, " would break log chains when logging" ; owned by Prentice Carr, and afterwards by Nathaniel Farrington, Walden, Vermont, then by Jennison; breeding unknown, but said to be of Canadian stock. Mr. Jennison sold his colt about 1844 to A. F. Putnam, Marshfield, Vermont, who kept him two seasons and sold back to Jennison. The horse afterwards went to Maine. Jennison was a very poor man, and received from Heath for the service of the colt in getting old Morrill a pound of tea. Abijah Jennison says : " I raised the colt that sired the old Morrill. I bought his dam of Nathaniel Farrington of this town. Farrington had her of a Mr. Bradley Webber of Hardwick, Vermont. I bought her in the fall of the year for forty-five dollars, and was to let Farrington have her three or four trips to Boston in a six-horse team, a distance of one hundred and eighty miles; she was a pacer, and when she got to going she could pace fast. She was a wonder- fully stout mare, rather dull to drive, but a powerful draft horse. She was black with brown nose and flanks and had but little tail. I should think she was sixteen hands high, but don't know how that MORRILL 199 was. I never had her weighed, but should think she would have weighed near thirteen hundred pounds. "When the Jennison Horse was foaled, well, the best description of him that I can give is that he was perfect and he grew perfect. He weighed over twelve hundred pounds, and was a bright bay, no white on him but a little star, and he had the same little, short, sharp, quick ear of the little Morgan. His mother had pretty long ears and they lapped some ; and he had a wide forehead, and his eyes were large and stood out, and he had just such a foretop, mane and tail as the little Morgan. Oh, he was the Little Randolph all over except his size ; and that he took from his mother. I had the colt when he was two years old and that was the season he sired old MorriH". A. F. Putnam, Marshfield, Vermont, says : " He was nearly six- teen hands high, rangy enough, but deep quartered and very strongly made in all respects. He had a choice head, eye and ear. He was a square natural trotter and could go fast. I never trotted him fast to show him but once. That was at Barnet, Vermont, on town-meet- ing day. The match was against a stallion named the Bachop Horse, claimed to be a three-minute horse. We were to trot a mile on the road, starting from the tavern or near there. I led him from the start, beating him out of sight. The mare that brought the Jen- nison Colt was a black with orange-colored muzzle and flanks, and a pacer. She was about sixteen hands high and would weigh nearly thirteen hundred pounds ; a powerful draft mare, rather a dull driver, but when straightened out would pace fast. She had a thin rat-tail. I was always told she came from Canada, and was an Eng- lish mare. Both she and the Jennison Colt had the best kind of clear hazel eyes. MORRILL was bred by James Heath, Walden, Vermont, and was foaled 1843. He was black with tan-colored muzzle and flanks, right hind foot white, fifteen and three-quarters hands high, and weighed twelve hundred and twenty-five pounds. His sire was the Jen- nison Colt, son of Little Randolph, by Bulrush Morgan. His dam was gray, bred by Mr. Eastman, Walden, Vermont, got by the Farrington Horse, son of the Vance Horse, by Bold Phoenix. The second dam was a very fast pacing bay mare, also bred by Mr. East- man, and got by the Kittredge Horse, son of Quicksilver, by imported Dey of Algiers, Arabian. Morrill was sold when a weanling to Urban Perkins, South Walden, Vermont, who traded him, when four or five years old, to 200 THE MORGAN HORSE French Merrill, Danville,Vermont. Mr. Morrill used him for work on the farm as well as in the stud, and sold him when seven to a man in Massachusetts, who trained him there a little, but could not pay for him, and Mr. Morrill took the horse back, and he died his property in 1862. The following description of Morrill is from the pen of the late Leonard T. Tucker of Royalton, owner of Draco 2 128^, one of the best of the grandsons of Morrill: " He was not what would be "called a rangy horse; neither was he blocky, but medium. He had an excellent head, muzzle rather fine, nostrils large, eyes the very best, of a clear hazel color, large and well set out and wide apart, brain large, the frontal bone straight, ears well shaped and pointed and when thrown forward he had a fine, expressive look, but when thrown backward they were inclined to lop considerably. His throttle was fair not fine, neither was it thick and fleshy ; neck good length and well crested, full, deep enough for beauty, but not out of proportion. His shoulders were very strong and well thrown back; withers fair, rather thick than otherwise; breast very full, making him look low in front; forearm immense and long, knee-pan broad and flat, with a knee-joint pinned together to stay ; The back sinews stood out clear and distinct, and were very large ; pasterns rather short and immensely strong, with feet resembling those of the full-bred Norman, not that they were broad and flat, but wide at the heel, and rather high, making a large and heavy, yet good- shaped foot; hoofs not of the finest texture, but always healthy and strong. His chest was deep and round, middle-piece good and loins that never were and never will be surpassed. Although not ribbed very close, his long, well-set hips were so beautifully rounded, and so even with the swell of his ribs, that he was a very smoothly-turned animal. His tail was set on a trifle too low, and was thin of hair for four or five inches from his body, but further down it was handsome. His stifles were thick, hind-quarters well let down, muscles of the thigh wonderfully strong, hocks could not be bettered, legs superb below the hocks, save that he set back on the hind pasterns too much for perfection ; not that his hind pasterns looked weak ; on the contrary, they were short, large, sinewy and very strong. We think there never was the slightest blemish or unsoundness about him ; and out of the several hundred colts which he left, only three or four were ever known to get the least unsound in the feet or limbs ". Morrill had a pure trotting action, was shown in speed contests at the fairs and was considered one of the fast stallions of his ' day. MORRILL 201 Mr. Morrill says he was a horse of the greatest intelligence and docility. The dam of Morrill was a high-strung, gray mare of fair size and good proportions, with long neck, rather long, intelligent head, thin ear rather longer than ordinary, good mane and tail, and a little long hair on the back of her legs. Heath got her when two years old, and soon afterward she had one hind leg broken in the pasture ; the leg healed, but was always crooked and shorter than the other, but she was good to work, and Heath, who had a new, rough hill farm, did a great deal of work with her. Her natural gait was a trot. She was about twelve years old when she produced Morrill. The Farrington Horse, sire of Merrill's dam, was an iron gray, about fifteen and a half hands high and would weigh, when two years old, ten hundred pounds. He was bred by Thomas Vincent of Walden and sold to Nathaniel Farrington of that town. He was a superior animal. William Farrington of Walden says : " I knew the dam of the Farring- ton Horse well. She was a noted mare and a good one, and sold once for two hundred dollars, a pretty large price in those days". This mare was called the Steele mare, a fair-sized mare of about ten hundred pounds, foaled about 1808, and a fast saddle mare. The Farrington Horse was foaled about 1828. After keeping him some years Mr. Farrington sold him to a Mr. Button of Walden. The Vance Horse, sire of the Farrington Horse, was a showy gray stallion, foaled about 1818, bred by Lemuel Cobb of Hardwick, Vermont, and got by Bold Phoenix. The dam of the Vance Horse was a white mare, bred by Lemuel Cobb's father at Hardwick, Massachusetts, and given by him to his son Lemuel, about 1815, to replace one of a pair lost by Lemuel when visiting his father. She was badly used up at the time and thought to be nearly worth- less ; but she was driven home by Lemuel to Hardwick, Vermont, and made a valuable mare. Her sire is unknown, but she was said to be of English blood. She was a large, well-shaped mare, an ex- cellent roadster, and from her Mr. Cobb bred several colts. The Vance Horse was sold when a year old to Col. Burrill Vance of Greensboro, Vermont, who kept him till about 1828 and sold him to parties in Morristown, Vermont. He was afterwards owned by Samuel Blodgett of East Randolph, Vermont, who moved, taking the horse with him, to Royalton, Vermont, where, after several years, the horse died. This Vance Horse was throughout his life called Phoenix. The town records of Royalton show that Samuel Blodgett bought one-half interest in the tavern stand at Royalton village of Amos Bosworth, April i6th, 1831. 202 THE MORGAN HORSE Bold Phoenix, sire of Vance's Phoenix, was also known as the Gibb Horse. In the Danville " North Star", in 1815, Bold Phoenix is advertised by F. C. Gibb to stand at Col. Warner's, Hardwick ; Esquire Farrington's, Walden ; John W. Dana's, Cabot, and F. C. Gibb's on Danville Green; terms, three to six dollars. Appended to the advertisement is the following certificate : "HAVERHILL, May 22, 1815. We, the undersigned, being well acquainted with the stock of the noted horse Phoenix, recommend it to exceed any in the State of New Hampshire for strength, speed and beauty. (Signed) REV MR. MORRILL and seven others". This advertisement is substantially repeated in the same paper in 1816 and 1817. It shows that the sire of the Vance Horse came from New Hampshire. We are informed that the first horse of this name in New Hampshire was brought to Walpole by Josiah Bellows, 2d. The Kittredge Horse, sire of the second dam of Morrill, was a bay, fifteen hands, nine hundred to one thousand pounds; bred and always owned by J. Kittredge, Danville, Vermont; got by Quick- silver, son of imported Dey of Algiers, Arabian, and foaled about 1820. He is described as a very fine looking horse, very similar to a Morgan in appearance. His sire, Quicksilver, made one season at Danville. Mr. Kittredge there bred a mare to him which foaled this horse. The Kittredge Horse was a very powerful and high-headed animal, somewhat given to running away. Our information on the Vance Horse comes largely from J. C. Cobb of Hardwick, Vermont, son of Lemuel Cobb, his breeder, and from Mrs. Vance, widow of Col. Burrill Vance, his owner. The statement made by Mr. J. C. Cobb, that the dam of Vance's Phoenix was said to be of English blood, calls attention to the horses of that blood that are known to have been in the stud at Hardwick, Massachusetts, at such time as she might have been got. These are the gray horses Hyder Ally, thoroughbred son of Lindsay's Arabian, that was there from 1795 to 1801 ; Roebuck, by imported Lath, dam by imported Wildair, from 1790 to 1800; Diomede, by imported Diomed, dam by imported Wildair, from 1810 to 1813 ; and Sterling, or New Jersey Colt, by imported Dorchester, from 1808 to 1814, all inclusive. These horses are all advertised for these seasons at Hard- wick ; all are exceedingly highly bred and one of them quite proba- bly was sire of this gray mare, as they are the only stallions advertised there in that period. The color points to Hyder Ally, which had a large patronage, as his advertisement states that in one season he served MORRILL 203 one hundred and thirty-three mares and got one hundred and twenty foals.

He was bred by Fred Smith, Walden, Vermont; got by Morrill, son of the Jennison Colt, and was foaled about 1850. His dam is described by French Morrill, Danville, Vermont, as a square, chunked, round mare, bay, bred by Seneca Ladd, Danville, Vermont, and got by the Lock Goss Horse, son of Chanticleer; second dam a very noted road mare, bay with stripe in face and white hind foot and white spot on side, fifteen hands, nine hundred and fifty pounds, bred by Rev. M. Boardman, Danville, Vermont, got by Randolph Horse, son of Bulrush Morgan ; third dam the Boardman mare, a cele- brated mare said to have been brought from Connecticut. Young Morrill was sold in turn to Chas. Dana, Danville, Ver- mont ; Jesse Drew, Danville ; John Drew, St. Johnsbury ; French Mor- rill, Danville ; Town & Trow, Barre ; Wm. A. Hill and Brother, Man- chester, New Hampshire ; Mr. Perkins, Manchester, later of Cam- bridge, Massachusetts, who paid for him four thousand dollars. He went to Iowa in the fall of 1880 and died there a few weeks later. He was a superior trotting horse, and a very noted sire. He showed a mile to saddle in 2:26; to harness in 2:30. He received a first premium at the Vermont State fairs at Montpelier, 1853, and at Rut- land, 1855 ; also first premium, of two hundred dollars, at National Horse exhibition at Boston, Massachusetts, October, 1855. Linsley says: " A heavy, close, compact and enduring horse". The Lock Goss Horse was dark bay, black points, fifteen and a half hands high, and weighed eleven hundred pounds. He was bred by Lock Goss of Waterford, Vermont. His sire was Chanticleer and his dam is said to have been a daughter of the Justin Morgan. He died the property of his breeder about 1 843 . This horse has generally been called a son of Sherman Morgan, but George Barker of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, informed us that he was got by Chanticleer when owned 206 THE MORGAN HORSE by his father, John Barker, and we are satisfied that this is correct. Mr. Fisher of Danville, Vermont, born 1813, says that the Lock Goss Horse was a Morgan-shaped horse. He knew the horse well, as he worked for a neighbor of Mr. Goss. Chanticleer was of Morgan build, bay and between fifteen and fifteen and a half hands high, and was kept at Fort Ann, New York, about 1812, and later at Rupert and Pawlet, Vermont, and perhaps other towns in that vicinity, by a Mr. Mead and a Mr. Stoddard ; later still at Whitehall, New York, where he was purchased by a Mr. Ramsdall of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, who sold him about 1826 to Mr. Barker of same place. His blood entered into some of the best horses in Vermont. He was doubtless a horse of high breeding, probably thoroughbred, though it is possible he was of Morgan origin, as his description and that of his stock, and his being called Dutch, might imply. C. A. Ramsdall of North Troy, Vermont, writes: "Chanticleer came from Whitehall, New York, was Dutch and what was called at that time French Morgan". George Barker of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, says: "They talked that the horse had been a runner. Father bought him of Ramsdall. He was an old horse then ; was called an English horse ; a handsome- bodied horse, but unsound ; not a high-headed horse. Father owned him with the Bolton Colt, or Flint Morgan. The second year the colt gotthemost mares. Chanticleerwas a long-bodied, round, hand- some horse, with a smooth, handsome head, long but not very large. Some thought his front legs were too near together, but I think he was half foundered. We lived on the Perry place when we owned Chanticleer and moved from there about 1828. It was about 1826 when we owned Chanticleer". George Lawrence of St. Johns- bury, a relative of Mr. Barker, said: " He was an old horse when Mr. Barker owned him, somewhat broken down and his back hollow". Dr. Warren B. Sargent of Pawlet, Vermont, says: "The first I knew of Chanticleer was at Fort Ann, about 1813 ; then he was kept here by old Uncle Stoddard. His get were regular Dutch-modeled horses, strong and resolute, not large, but wonderfully good workers. He was not over fifteen hands high, I think; a good weighty-kind of a horse. They called him a Dutch horse". Dorson Eastman, Dorset, Vermont, says : " He was a rather low horse, should think less than fifteen and a half hands high ; bay, no marks, not very stylish ; owned by Morris Mead about 1818; very strong-limbed and solid ; called the toughest, ruggedest horse ever here. Kept first I think in Kingsbury, New York". WINTER OP MORRILL 207 A horse named Spy, foaled 1804, said to be by old Chanti- cleer, is advertised in the " Rutland Herald" of 1810.

Volunteer Chief 2 WlXTHROP MORRILL, formerly called Slasher, was bred by Rod- ney Bradford, Barre, Vermont, and was foaled in 1855. He was a bright bay with star and off hind ankle white ; mane and tail full. He was fifteen and a half hands high, and weighed ten hundred and fifty pounds. He was got by Perkins' Young Morrill, son of Mor- rill. His dam was a dark bay, bred by Lewis Waterman, Barre, Vermont, and got by the Huckins Horse, son of Royal Morgan. His second dam was bay with large star, fifteen hands high, ten hundred and fifty pounds in weight. She was bred by Lewis Waterman, and got by Morgan Eagle, son of Woodbury Morgan. His third dam is said to have been by Bulrush Morgan, and his fourth dam by Young Soldier, son of the Kasson Horse. He was sold by his breeder to Mr. Town of Barre, and by him to Leonard T. Tucker of Royalton, Vermont. In 1861 Mr. Tucker sold to H. B. Varrell, Laconia, New Hampshire, who sold to David Blanchard of Boston. In 1863 he passed to Mr. Garland of Skowhegan, Maine, and, in 1864, to Charles J. Jackson of Winthrop, Maine; then to T. B. Williams, and later to John F. Mills, both of Boston, Mass. He afterwards returned to Maine, stood several years at Hartland, 208 THE MORGAN HORSE and died the property of B. F. Fairbanks, Winthrop, Maine, August 1 7th, 1882. Thompson, in " Noted Maine Horses", says of him: "His head was after the Morgan type, clean and intelligent; neck thin, long, blood-like and carried in good style ; shoulders slop- ing and strong; chest deep; back stout and beautiful in contour from withers to haunches ; barrel round and well ribbed back ; tail finely set on and well carried ; limbs rather light in bone, but well muscled; hind pasterns very straight; upper bone of forearm let down low to the knee; cannon bone short; feet blue, tough and ex- cellent. He traveled a carefully-measured mile on Winthrop pond, two men in the sleigh, in 2 132, the last quarter in thirty-three seconds. He paced this mile, but changed to the trot the following season. His success in the stud, always with common, hard-worked farmers' mares, is a matter of record. At the close of 1877, he- stood fifth among sires of 2 : 30 performers. His get are uniformly of great courage, excellent trotting action and have an appearance of high breeding". SIRE OF iM Race Record. Foaled. If ii II II Sire of Dam.

FEARXAUGHT 2:23^ (champion trotting stallion of the world when his record was made) was chestnut with off hind-foot white, fifteen and a half hands high, and weighed ten hundred pounds. He was bred by Greenleaf C. Brown, Stratham, New Hampshire, got by Young Morrill, son of Morrill and was foaled in 1859. His dam, Jenny, was bay with black points, no white, fifteen hands, and weighed ten hundred pounds; a high-headed mare of great courage and speed, that it is said could pull two men to a heavy wagon better than a forty clip; foaled 1849; bred by Nathaniel Batchelder, Pittsfield, New Hampshire, and sold by him in 1854 to Greenleaf C. Brown, who owned her until her death in 1879; got by Napoleon Morgan, son of Flint Morgan ; second dam, dark bay, bred by Nathaniel Batchelder, got by Vermont Beauty, son of Ballard's Quicksilver; third dam, brown, bred by Nathaniel Batchelder, got by the Piper Horse, a young horse brought from Vermont to Pittsfield, New Hampshire, 1819, called a Morgan; fourth dam, black, a fine mare bought of C. Clay, Nottingham, New Hampshire, and said to be thoroughbred. Sold by breeder to B. S. Wright, who sold him for twenty-five thousand dollars to Col. H. S. Russell, proprietor of the Home Farm, Milton, Massachusetts, whose property he died in 1873. He was a horse of great elegance as well as speed. His record was made at Buffalo, in a winning race, trotted for a purse of ten thousand dollars, July 29th, 1868. S. W. Parlin, the accomplished turf writer, in an article on Fear- naught, after mentioning his races, says : " His success in trotting, together with his remarkable beauty, elegant style and superior road qualities, gave him very great popu- larity. In the show ring he was quite as successful as upon the turf. His last victory as a prize-winner was at the New England fair of 1872, when he received the premiums and gold medal offered for the best stock horse. His death occurred at the Home Farm, Milton, in 1873. During the last few years of his life Fearnaught's service fee was two hundred and fifty dollars". We add the following very interesting letter from J. J. Batchel- der, Warrensburgh, Illinois, relating to the dam of Fearnaught and his ancesters, and dated February 22d, 1890: 210 THE MORGAN HORSE "I received yours in regard to the pedigree of Jenny, that my father sold to G. C. Brown. Jenny was a great road mare. So were her first and second dams, either of which could road sixteen miles an hour. Her first dam, Lady Jane, was the most showy, and looked in the har- ness much bigger than in the stable. She looked very much like her sire, the Hill Horse. True Hill of Canterbury, New Hampshire, owned him until he died. "The Piper Horse, the sire of Kate, her second dam, was a young horse brought from Vermont to Pittsfield about the year 1819, and staid there part of one season; then went to Maine ; left only four colts. I can recollect them all, three bays and one black. They all proved so good when used that they got up a stock company and sent down to Maine to get him back, but he had been gelded. They called him a Morgan. " Old Kate I think was the fastest of the four colts. I have heard the old folks talk about them in their younger days ; if they wanted to make a quick trip, they were sure old Kate could make it. I have heard father tell of driving her to Boston, seventy-five miles, after machinery for the factory, when they wanted it quick ; and one time there was a deed that was found not to be on record at Concord, the county seat, and other parties started to take advantage of the fact. A man was put on old Kate and rode the sixteen miles in an hour. "I brought out here, in 1859, a full sister to Jenny, in foal by Young Morrill. She raised a mare colt. I have raised a number of good colts from her. I have one of her colts, now twenty-two years old, by Flint Morgan, son of the Steve French Horse, a little inbred and full of Morgan ; I think the best driver I ever rode after. "I sold one of her colts to a Dr. Reed of Decatur; he drove him three years on the road and sold him to go to Cincinnati ; they found he could go, took him to the track and drove him in 2 130; they thought he must have been on the track and was a ringer; they offered two thousand dollars for him if he had not been trained. They wrote to me, and, as quick as they got word, took him. The next time they tried him he went in 2:19, last half in i 108. His owner was offered five thousand dollars for him, but thought he would have him trained the last of the season, and the next year enter him in the races. He sent him to Lexington, Kentucky, in June, and he dropped dead on the track. They called him Stoker Boy. I saw the man that bought him of Reed; he thought 'they' held him too hard and he broke a blood vessel". FEARNAUGHT. 211 Vermont Beauty (Hill Horse, Silver) was dark bay with one white hind foot and ankle, about fifteen hands high, and weighed ten hundred pounds. He was bred by William Wheeler, New Haven,Ver- mont, got by Ballard's Quicksilver, and foaled 1823 : dam said to have been bred by William Wheeler. He was presented when two by Mr. Wheeler to his daughter, wife ofTrueworthy Hill, London, afterwards Canterbury, New Hampshire and was kept at Canterbury until nine or ten years old and then brought back to Vermont by Lemuel Hill of Starksboro, Vermont, who kept him a number of years. He had quite a long body and was a very handsome and excellent horse. John N. Hill, son of Trueworthy Hill, writes: "He was the finest of the fine in every point. He was sought after by colonels and generals to ride on muster days in the days of the State militia. My grandfather, William Wheeler, was a large farmer, owned a good many brood mares of his own raising which he never harnessed, and he said of all the colts he ever had Silver was the best. The horse was of Morgan blood, a fine breed ; but I cannot tell anything more on this point". John S. Blanchard of Concord, New Hampshire, writes : " My father, Nathan Blanchard, requests me to say to you that he remem- bers distinctly the Hill Horse which you inquire about, but knows nothing of his breeding; says he was very handsome and the best horse in the vicinity of Canterbury in his time ". Mr. Hill, Starksboro, Vermont, says: "Lemuel Hill of this town owned a very valuable horse that he called Quicksilver, a noble horse, and got splendid stock. He was bay, and I think Morgan. Uncle Richard had another that I think was Morgan. Uncle Lemuel's came from New Hampshire, where he had been owned by Trueworthy Hill." The following advertisement is from the Concord, New Hamp- shire, "Patriot" of 1828: "Vermont Beauty will stand in London. Raised in Vermont. Drew first premium at Agricultural society, Vergennes, when four months old, and two succeeding years drew same premium at same place. At age of three was taken from Vermont to this place and next fall drew first premium at Boscawen Plain. Dark bay, jet black mane and tail, one white hind foot and ankle, fifteen hands high ; foaled 1823. Figure and movements lofty and elegant. For speed excelled by none of his age. Before I purchased him I examined his stock and all were nearly of his color and marks. London, 1828. TRUEWORTHY HILL ". Quicksilver (Ballard's) was bay and weighed about eleven hundred pounds. He was brought to New Haven, Vermont, 1821 212 THE MORGAN HORSE or 1822, by Joshua Ballard, who came to New Haven from New Salem, Massachusetts. Died 1823 or 1824. Harvey Yale, Middlebury, Vermont, remembers this horse well and says he knows Ballard brought him from the South, and he is quite certain that he brought him from Walpole, New Hampshire, and that he was in part of im- ported blood. Mr. Yale speaks highly of the horse and says that he resembled Lambert. Mr. Eldredge, formerly of New Haven, Ver- mont, who also remembers the horse well, and whose father raised a colt from him, says that he was a- beautiful horse. Vermont Beauty, son of this horse, was frequently if not generally called a Morgan both in New Hampshire and Vermont, where he was owned, but. from the information received, we think it probable that his sire was got by Quicksilver, foaled in Massachusetts 1802, a son of imported Dey of Algiers, Arabian, from an imported mare, and that passed to Mr. Bellows of Walpole, N. H., about 1810. SIRE OF P > & ~ «; Sj 29 9 19 17 10 ii i 3 Sire of Dam.

Royal Feamau.U'lit Morrill Prince, by Morrill. Taken at Danville, Vermont 212 ROYAL FEARNAUGHT 213 Royal Fearnaught is said to be a handsome and stylish horse. He trotted four races in 1884, winning three of them and getting a record of 2:36^ on a poor half-mile track. Mr. James Walker states that he has trotted a trial in 2 124^. Considering his oppor- tunities, he takes high rank among the successful sires of trotting speed. His get are described as mostly chestnut, with excellent feet and legs and good constitutions ; stylish, prompt drivers, game and resolute, but docile. Lady Smothers, dam of Royal Fearnaught, a mare of great speed and courage on the road, has always been recorded as Lady Smithers by old Columbus, dam by Harris' Hamiltonian ; but no breeders were ever given, though Mr. Walker states that this breed- ing was given him when he bought the horse. We learned early in 1888 that Mr. Wright, breeder of Royal Fearnaught, knew noth- ing of the dam's breeding; that he bought her of the late Luther Clement of Nashua, New Hampshire, and believed she was bred by some member of the "Smithers" family. A letter addressed to the postmaster at Nashua brought a fortunate reply; we had inquired for the " Smithers " family, and the reply was : " The widow Smothers still resides here, and her husband was fond of good horses I am told. Her address is Mrs. A. S. Smothers". We addressed a letter to Mrs. Smothers, inquiring if her husband sold a bay mare to Luther Clement, and received the following reply: "NASHUA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, April 2ist, 1888. <:I think Mr. Smothers sold the mare you inquire about to Mr. Clement. Mr. Smothers bought her of Mr. Leonard Tucker of Royal- ton, Vermont, on recommendation of A. B. Burgess, now of West Hartford, Vermont. Mr. Tucker is not living, I think. Respectfully, A. S. SMOTHERS. " P. S. I send you Mr. Tucker's letters in regard to the mare you ask about. S". " SOUTH ROYALTOX, Vermont, April /th, 1862. " Sold this day to Jonathan Smothers of Nashua, New Hamp- shire, a certain bay mare ; said mare is three years and ten months old; and I warrant her sound and healthy; also kind to drive in single and double harness, so far as used, being broken only to go in sleigh. Price, one hundred and ten dollars; for which I promise to deliver her on board the freight cars in said Nashua, safe and sound, and to freight her from South Royalton depot on board the cattle train the I4th day of April, 1862. Said mare was sired by Draco. Received payment. LEONARD T. TUCKER". 214 THE MORGAN HORSE To a second letter of inquiry we received this further reply : "NASHUA, April 1 7th, 1890. " In answer to your inquiries about the bay mare : Mr. Smoth- ers bought her of Mr, Leonard T. Tucker of Royalton, Vermont, April, 1862 ; owned her about one year; she went by the name of Monadnoc Maid while he owned her; remember hearing Mr. Clement changed name to Lady Smothers; don't know how long Mr. Clement owned her or to whom he sold her. Don't know of any other sale to Mr. Clement; he lived at Nashua at time of sale; never knew anything of him except to know him when driving by, and do not know what ever became of him or family; am only positive Mr. Smothers told me he sold, or, I think, traded, with Mr. Clement. Respectfully, A. S. SMOTHERS". We have also received the following letter with description of Lady Smothers : " MANCHESTER, MAINE, April i6th, 1890. " DEAR SIR: In answer to yours of the 1/j.th will say Carlotta's dam was a very gamy bay mare, about fifteen and a quarter hands high, and I should think would weigh ten hundred and fifty pounds, a perfect Morgan in shape, with the fine head, ears, and gait of that family; good knee action. I should say she was a Morgan, sure. Carlotta has a new one in the 2 130 list. Carlotta's dam was the dam of Royal Fearnaught. E. L. NORCROSS".

He was bred by Mr. Cheney, Royalton, Vermont, got by Woodbury Morgan, and was foaled about 1824. His dam was the Cheney mare, bay, about ten hundred pounds, resembling a Morgan, and said to be by Bulrush Morgan. Morgan Eagle was sold at auction, when two years old, together with dam, to D. Morgan, Royalton, Vermont, for seventy-five dollars. Mr. Morgan sold him when about four years old to S. S. Yurann, Tunbridge, Vermont, and he sold in about a year to Ziba Sprague, East Randolph, Vermont. Not long after Mr. Sprague sold to Philip Farnham, Tunbridge, Vermont, for three hun- dred dollars, who sold him June loth, 1839, to A. M. Foster, Barre, Vermont, for six hundred dollars, whose property he died in 1840, supposed to have been poisoned. While owned by D. Morgan he was called Independence. John Sprague of East Brookfield, Ver- mont, son of Ziba, thinks he was sixteen hands high, and says he was a fast trotter. Mr. S. S. Yurann, now of West Randolph, Vermont, eighty-eight years old, says : " He was held in the highest estimation of any horse in the country ". Mr. I. D. Davis, Barnard, Vermont, describes him as " a thick-set, heavy horse, graceful and beautiful, of fine color, and about as per- fect as he could be". A. M. Foster, now of Woodstock, Vermont, says: "He was bred to one hundred mares the season I owned him". Mr. Linsley says : " High style, fine action and a pleasant driver. The stock of Morgan Eagle were compact, rugged horses and fine drivers."

His dam was bay, weighed nine hundred and twenty-five pounds; of Morgan build and said to be a Morgan mare. Passed to Philip Farnham, Tunbridge, Vermont (former owner of Morgan Eagle), who sold him, in 1847, to John Henderson, Conesus, New York. In April, 1852, Mr. Hender- son took him to Pontiac, Michigan, and sold one-half interest to B. G.Whitney, Romeo, Michigan. In 1853, Mr. Henderson, then liv- ing in Pontiac, bought back Mr. Whitney's half interest, and kept the horse at Pontiac, Romeo, Utica and Rochester, Michigan. Died at Pontiac sometime between 1863 and 1870. Received third pre- mium at New York State fair in 1848. B. G.

From a daguerrotype XII GIFFORD MORGAN, GREEN MOUNTAIN MORGAN GlFFORD MORGAN, by Woodbury Morgan, was bred by Ziba Gifford, Tunbridge, Vermont, and foaled June 1 3th, 1824. He was chestnut, almost a dark brown in the sun, weighed about one thou- sand pounds, and was fourteen and a half hands high. His dam, foaled June 2ist, 1819, was bay, and weighed about one thousand pounds. She is said to have been got by Henry Dundas, son of Woolsey. Henry Dundas is advertised in " Spooner's Vermont Jour- nal", by C, Lynde, Williamstown, under date of April i8th, 1800, to stand at Williamstown, Berlin and Montpelier, Vermont,, at three and four dollars. He is advertised again in 1811 and 1814 to stand at Randolph and Braintree, Vermont, and it is stated that he was by Woolsey. Woolsey we suppose to be the same as Cardinal Woolsey or Hough Horse, that was advertised, 1/96 and 1797, at Lebanon, New Hampshire, by Joel Tildenand Sam Bingham, and described as bright bay, sixteen and a half hands, foaled 1 788, and full blooded ; and this Hough Horse we suppose again to be the same as Cardinal W'oolsey, ad- vertised in " Baltimore (Maryland) Journal and Advertiser", 1792, to stand eighteen miles from Baltimore ; described as light bay with large star and snip, fifteen and a half hands, foaled 1788, bred by Richard Chew, Maryland ; got by imported Cardinal Puff, son of Cardinal Puff : dam by Chatham ; second dam by Hamilton's imported Figure; third dam by Hamilton's imported Dove; fourth dam by a Barb. Chatham is probably the horse of that name bred by William Stith of Virginia, foaled 1774; got by Spadille, son of imported Janus ; dam by imported Fearnaught ; second dam by import- ed Juniper, and third dam an imported thoroughbred mare. 220 THE MORGAN HORSE So it will be seen that the dam of Gifford Morgan was almost certainly a high-bred mare tracing to some of the very best of the early imported thoroughbred stock. I. D. Davis, Barnard, Vermont, says: "The dam of Gifford Morgan I knew well. She was a nice-appearing mare. I should say looked like the Morgans; a pretty fair specimen of a Morgan mare". Gifford Morgan was purchased when coming four by Ira Cool- idge, Barnard, Vermont, who kept him three or four years at Bar- nard. Mr. Gifford then took him back. His transfers thereafter were: To Russell Topliff, Barnard, Vermont, March 1 7th, 1840; to Lyman Stewart, in 1844; to F. A. Weir, Walpole, New Hampshire, in 1846; to a stock company, at Walpole, for two thousand dollars. He died October 3Oth, 1850, at Walpole. He was kept also several seasons at Woodstock, Vermont. He was in Addison county, Ver- mont, for a number of seasons (the first probably as early as 1830), part of the time being in New Haven in charge of Ira Gifford, brother of Ziba, and part of the time at Middlebury in charge of Joshua Bal- lard and later of Joshua Scott. He was also for three seasons kept by James Whitcomb at Stockbridge, Hancock and Bethel, Ver- mont. In 1836 or 1837 ne was at Warren, Vermont. While in New York, he was in Washington county, and left quite a number of excellent stallions there. Justin Morgan, Jr., speaking of his father's horse, says : " Those who have seen the Gifford Morgan will have a very correct idea of the size, shape, style and action of the Morgan horse, as the resem- blance between them is very close, not only in those particulars, but in most except color. The stock of the Gifford Morgan, with which I have always been well acquainted, is very similar to that of the original horse". Mr. Linsley says : " His style and motion were much admired, and he was a favorite parade horse. He has left some excellent stock". Gifford Morgan was shown at the New York State fair in 1847. The "Albany Cultivator", in its account of the fair, says: "The Old Gifford Morgan paraded in the van of the cavalcade with all the fine action and gaiety of a horse of six instead of twenty-three years". Mr. Gardner Wirslow, Pomfret, Vermont, writes: "I have ridden Gifford. What a good one he was; his were staying colts, better than Green Mountain's. I have had both. I shall never see GREEN MOUNTAIN MORGAN 221 his like. He was not so thick a horse as Green Mountain, not quite as heavy, but full as tall, better fore legs, and better-tempered colts". Mr. Solomon Yurann, West Randolph, Vermont, a very old man, says: " His colts came checked up and on the jump". Gifford's poster for 1850, the year of his death, reads: "The foals got by this horse number over thirteen hundred. Many of his foals are bought for the southern market, as far south as New Orleans, and several have been taken to England. They excel in great en- durance, are full of noble and generous spirit, with such docility of temper that the most timid can drive them, but if put to their met- tle they are a full hand for the best drivers. Among his celebrated foals is the trotting pony, Horatio Sargent, who made a mile in 2 :3 & Foaled. <*-. T3 !•§ TS °| § § >&, 88 ^ 73 8 °8 H# Sire of Dam.

IT <-\;' •* t: r \ CANADIAN VIEWS 275 XIV THE CANADIAN PACE.R In many of the fastest American trotters, especially those bred in Ken- tucky, Tennessee and Indiana, or from stock that came from these States, there has always been an unknown element of pacing blood. A small portion, the Hiatogas for example, trace to Virginia, but by far the greater part has been recognized as Canadian. The Hiatoga and the Canadian were, in size at least, decidedly different. Pollock's Hiatoga, the first one known to have gone to Kentucky, is advertised, 1822, as sixteen and one-fourth hands high. Case's Hiatoga is advertised in Virginia, 1814, as sixteen hands, and Harris' Hia- toga is advertised, 1816, as sixteen hands. Hardly any of the Canadian pacers were over fifteen hands. Instead of being large and rangy horses, it is well known that they were compact and roundly-built, like the Morgan. The first of these Canadian pacers known to have gone to Kentucky was Copperbottom, foaled 1809, and taken to Kentucky, probably in 1816. Then came a succession of similar horses — Tom Hal, Pilot, Tecumseh, Davy Crockett, Corbeau, and a large number of lesser note. We have no doubt but that the source of these pacers in Virginia was the Narragansett, crossed with the blood stock, and perhaps also with the native horses of that State, themselves trained to pace, if not of pacing origin. That this native stock paced naturally is shown by the advertisements of that period, and the testimony which has been handed down to us in books of travel. The pacing blood that produced such great results in Kentucky was not, how- ever, so far as known, that which came from Virginia, nor that which came from Maryland, although considerable of this latter went to Kentucky ; but was the pacing blood alone that came from the Province of Quebec. This certainly is a remarkable fact, one of the most significant that appears in the history of the trotting or pacing horse of America, and as yet never explained. Indeed, we know of no intelligent attempt to explain it. Occasionally a superficial writer, who never looked up any facts, and who knows nothing whatever about the subject, has said that this blood was derived from the Canadian stock, imported originally to Canada from France ; and perhaps states, as further explanation, that the Normandy horse was derived in part from the Andalusian, and so consis- ted of Arabian or Barb blood. To a student of the subject in Canada this ex- planation is grotesquely ridiculous. It is sustained neither by the facts of history, vnor by the laws of breeding. The original stock imported to Canada from France in 1665, and later, was very plain and rugged, after 236 THE MORGAN HORSE the pattern of the draft horse, and entirely devoid of the grace and ex- treme speed that belonged to the well-bred horses of Arabia or Barbary. The characteristics of this original stock were continued after it came to Can- ada ; and although its blood, being very prevalent, doubtless entered into some of the fast pacers that were afterwards bred in the Province of Quebec, it certainly was not the source from which these fast pacers sprung. Indeed, it is probable that the best of these pacers were nearly or quite destitute of this native blood, and it is doubtful whether, as far as it appears, it does not appear to their injury. The origin of the fast pacer of the early part of this century, in the Province of Quebec, is not found in the horses originally imported into Canada from France. Where can it be found ? Since undertaking to solve this mystery by personal investigation into the facts, it has been a source of constant regret with us that the attempt was not made at least thirty years earlier. If this had been done, we think the full history might have been obtained. It is not true that the French- Canadian breeder was or is more thoughtless or indifferent, in the breeding of horses, than the American breeder. We have been continually surprised at the intelligent understanding of this subject shown by these French breeders. True, their knowledge of pedigrees was limited, for there were no books to assist them ; but many now old enough remember distinctly the stallions of merit of seventy-five or eighty years ago, and the pains taken to breed to them. We have not given up hope of further information on this subject. This book published, we expect to have more time to continue researches, and, the subject being now opened, we hope it will be taken up and prosecuted with zeal by others, especially our friends in Canada, who are the best able to do this. There are, undoubtedly, many men and women still living among the French in Canada with knowledge of the subject ; there may be some one who can explain the pacer's origin. If the horse that got the original Copperbottom that went to Kentucky were known, we believe that the horse from which the great family of Canadian pacers sprung would be known. The Canadian newspapers must contain more or less of this information, and some, perhaps, equally valuable with the account of the Dansereau family of horses that we publish, taken from the " Spirit of the Times ", 1841, and furnished to the "Times' " correspondent by Mr. Dansereau himself. There are but two sources, other than the original Canadian stock, from which the Canadian pacer could have sprung — the horses imported from across the sea, or from the States. The English thoroughbred blood might add to the speed of the pacer, but it certainly is not the source of pacing families. There is no evidence of any other blood imported from beyond the sea that was. There is evidence, as we shall show, that this pacing blood came from the States. Let us now consider the situation of the Province of Quebec and its relation to the States. It stand at one side of the States, bounded at the north and west by a vast region, that, at the time we are considering, was almost entirely, and still is largely, uninhabited ; and at the east by the ocean. THE CANADIAN PACER 237 Coming south from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, we find between the Province and the inhabited parts of Maine and New Hampshire a vast wilderness through which, save at the extreme north, but a single road passed. When we reach the Vermont boundary, the conditions change. Roads constantly cross, and the intercourse between the two sections is, and has been for a hundred years, constant and varied. The Province of Quebec is also touched by the northern part of New York, and here, too, is easy communication. The conditions here are such that if the Canadian pacer came to Canada from the States, the probability is very strong that he came from Vermont, or northern New York, or at least passed through those States in coming. It is to be remembered, too, that the particular part of the Province of Que- bec where these pacing horses were first known to have appeared, and the part where they were mostly bred, is that contiguous to and directly north of Vermont. If we admit that he might have come from northern New York, the question arises : Was there any stock at that time in northern New York resembling him and a probable source of his origin? The world has never heard of them. But on the other hand, in Vermont, a few years before the birth of the first known fast Canadian pacer, there lived a horse, — between whose descendants and this Canadian pacer there was, as we shall show, a very marked resemblance, — every known son of which produced a family of great local celebrity, and the reputation of whose stock eventually extended throughout the world. This was the Morgan Horse, descended largely from the best imported blood ; and it is certainly most reasonable to think that either he, or some son or grandson of his, crossed the border, and founded, or helped to found, the great Canadian family that rose into prominence at this time. It is the more natural to think so when we perceive that the other most noted families of horses in the Province of Quebec, since this period, whose origin is known, like the descendants of the Hawkins Horse, Black Morgan and Anglo-Saxon, in the Eastern Townships, and Brandy- wine, Canada Black Hawk, and, later, Ben. Morrill, in the French country, had such origin. The suggestion is the more forcible because there is no other source to which this family can reasonably be attributed ; no other horse of that day in this part of the country, or in any part of it, that got stock of like popular qualities and enduring fame. Let us now consider this question of the similarity of the stock, and see in what respects this famous family of pacers resembles the Morgans, and in what it differs from them. The first of these pacers to appear in Kentucky was Copperbottom, in 1816. He was a sorrel stallion, foaled in 1809, and is described as about fifteen and one-half hands, very strongly built, with broad breast, round barrel, short back, good neck and head, handsome appearance, and the fastest pacer of his day. The next most famous pacer that appeared in Kentucky was Tom Hal. The description of him is similar to that of Copperbottom, ex- cepting that he was roan, and probably not quite so tall. There was the same blocky build and handsome appearance ; the same qualities of general 238 THE MORGAN HORSE usefulness ; the same extraordinary speed, and the same wonderful prepotency that asserted itself over a large region of country, and has endured in full force to the present time. We visited lately in Tennessee the farm of Campbell Brown, and there saw Brown Hal, pacing record 2 :i2f4, and probably the most prominent representative of the family now living. Though only fourteen years old, he is sire of Storm 2 :o8^, and seven others with records under 2 124, all pacers. In the handsome contour of his form and its excellent finish, as well as in his superior coupling, he exhibits the Morgan characteristics ; fully as much as could be expected with the many out-crosses since the original Tom Hal came to Kentucky, assuming his Morgan origin. Then came Pilot and Davy Crockett, perhaps a little more pronounced in their resemblance to the Morgan ; for they were not quite as large as the others, being about fifteen hands. These are the four typical pacers that came, or are supposed to have come, from the Province of Quebec to Kentucky. They were all of very similar character, and each produced a renowned family, the blood of some one or more of which enters into nearly every celebrated trotter or pacer bred in Kentucky or Tennessee. So over New England, and throughout the Western States, the blood of the Morgan asserted itself in very much the same manner. This is illus- trated in the new "National Saddle Horse Register", where fourteen animals are selected as foundation stock. Of these, two are decendants in male line of Sherman, and one of Woodbury Morgan ; one of Copperbottom ; one of Tom Hal ; one of Davy Crockett, and one of John Dillard, that was prob- ably also of Canadian origin. Five of the remaining seven trace to the thor- oughbred and two are unknown. The Octoroon stock, of Todd county, Kentucky, and vicinity, descend- ants of Woodbury Morgan, are noted saddlers, very similar to those chosen above, and might well have been added to the list. A further illustration of the resemblance between the Morgan and the Province of Quebec Pacer, that came to the States, is the fact that in the early history of the Morgans they were often called French or Canadian, especially in New York ; and so in Kentucky and Tennessee we have found that the two were frequently confused. Thus Telegraph, known as Lithicum's Tele- graph, has generally been called a Canadian horse, but was a Vermont horse, and undoubtedly a son of Black Hawk. Cardinal was called both, but was probably a Canadian. Webber's Tom Thumb, that was called Canadian, was undoubt- edly a Morgan. So the famous mare, Lady Surry, dam of Henry Clay, was called a Canadian, until it was learned that she came from Surry, New Hamp- shire, and was probably a daughter of Revenge, son of Justin Morgan. The renowned Black Hawk, son of Sherman Morgan, has been claimed to be Canadian. We met repeatedly in Canada those who thought Black Hawk came from Vercheres and belonged to the Dansereau pacing family. They felt sure of this because he resembled them so strongly. H. J. Spen- cer, an intelligent horseman of Burlington, Vermont, in speaking of the THE CANADIAN PACER 239 Corbeaus, said that he traded for a black stallion of that name, with a French- man from Canada, about 1850 ; that it was a very valuable horse and looked almost exactly like Black Hawk. Blazing Star, by Henry Clay, son of Romeo, pacer, was thus described to us by Mr. Kistler, a leading liveryman and horse-dealer of Warren, Ohio : " A compact-built fellow ; Icoked like a Mor- gan. The stock was much thought of". The get of Legal Tender, Jr., an inbred Davy Crockett and the leading sire of that line, is described in a let- ter of his owner, J. M. Amos of Rushville, Indiana, as follows : "They have fine style, like the sire ; look like the Morgan stock of horses." As will appear later, Pilot was described by parties who knew him in Connecticut and New York, accomplished judges of horses, as very much re- sembling the Morgans, especially the Black Hawk strain. Repeatedly we have been told by experienced horsemen in different parts of the country, and especially in Kentucky, that they thought there must be a relationship between the Morgan and the Canadian Pacer. Dr. C. G. Lithicum, born in Macon county, Kentucky, 1820, a veterinary of long- established reputation, whom we visited at his handsome home in Baltimore, Maryland, in a long discussion of the horses of Kentucky and Maryland, with both of which he had been very familiar, said : " I think myself that the Vermont and Canadian horses were very intimately connected. There is a very striking resemblance between them. The Morgans are a little more plump and a little better loined ; but I have always thought there was a rela- tionship between the two." Samuel Lee, born about 1815, one of the best known, oldest and most intelligent horsemen of Baltimore, to whom we had been referred as the highest authority on pedigrees and histories of horses in that locality, said : " The Canadians were all smooth and blocky, much like the Morgan in style. All had good heads, which they carried up ; and heavy manes and tails. The Narragansetts had lighter tails and were bigger horses than the Canadians. I most positively think that the Morgan and Canadian were re- lated. All had quick action, and nearly every Canadian gets his head up like the Morgan." William McCracken, an old-time horse-dealer of Lexington, Kentucky, of much practical intelligence, owner of the so-called Canadian horses, Roe- buck, Niagara, Jupiter and others, that appear frequently in the trotting ped- igrees of Kentucky, said : " Roebuck was fine and stylish and carried his head up ; he was very pretty. Niagara was a roan with small star and the prettiest Canadian I ever saw. I bought him of a Frenchman named Hendricks, who brought him here from Montreal. I sold him, about 1855, to Col. James Shelby of Missouri for about one thousand dollars. He was shaped like a Morgan. I got a white Canadian ; called him Jupiter. I bought him of a Frenchman that came here from Canada and stayed a couple of weeks. He looked like a Morgan. He got the dam of Bushwhacker 2 127. He was six years old when I got him. I kept him two years and sold him for five hundred dol- 240 THE MORGAN HORSE lars. Eureka was as nice a chestnut horse as you ever saw, fifteen hands, very stylish, say one thousand pounds. No doubt but he was a Morgan. He marked his stock with his own points for three or four generations. Corbeau, sire of Billy Boyce, was owned in Harrodsburg. The sire of this Corbeau was Canadian. I knew old Black Pilot well. He came from New Orleans, paced very fast and finally struck a trot. He was another stout little Cana- dian. Tom Hal stood here. There was a roan Tom Hal and a sorrel one with white face. They resembled the Copperbottoms. The original Cop- perbottom was about fifteen and one-half hands, thick-breasted ; a fine sort of a horse. I was born in 1818 and I remember Copperbottoms as early as I remember anything. Johnson brought Toronto, Canadian, to Kentucky, about 1 850; a nice^made horse and a trotter. The man who brought in New York Beauty brought in two other Morgan stallions. I think the Mor- gan horses must have come from Canadian". Whence came this resemblance ? We know that the Morgan horse was not derived from the Canadian pacer. If there was any relationship, the Can- adian pacer must have traced to some Morgan ancestor, or they must, to some extent, have had a common origin. This last is possible, but by no means so probable as that the pacer traces to the Morgan. The prominence of the pacer of the Province of Quebec dates from a time but little later than that in which the Morgan horse was established in Vermont. His ancestors certainly came largely from Vermont. His resemblance to the Morgan is most pronounced, and the place of his nativity, adjoining Vermont, is sep- arated therefrom only by an imaginary line. Between these two families there was only one marked difference — the Morgan was a trotter ; the Can- adian, a pacer. We have not the space here for a full discussion of the Pacing Horse of America. This will appear in a later work, now in preparation, which will contain much valuable information on this subject gathered from widely different sources. We only state here that one principal source of the American pacer was the Narragansett. This famous breed sprang up in Rhode Island, the last of the seventeenth century, it is said from stock im- ported from Andalusia in Spain. The Andalusian horses were regarded as among the best of that time, and came from the Barb and Arab. There is some question whether they paced in Andalusia, but none whatever that they did in Rhode Island, and with great fleetness. So, in South America, there were some of the descendants of the original Spanish horses, which were largely Andalusian, that became very noted for their saddle gaits. This family of Narragansetts was among the most famous on this conti- nent for nearly a century. Stallions of the blood were distributed through many of the English colonies, down to and after the time when they be- came States, and possibly some of them went to Canada, though no certain evidence of this appears. But it is established that many pacing mares were taken to Canada from Vermont, and possibly some from other States. And from this source undoubtedly came the gait of the Canadian pacer and in part his Ice Palace, Montreal Toboggan Slide, Montreal THE CANADIAN PACER 241 speed. But the blood that moulded the form and gave to the Province of Que- bec pacer a character and quality of extreme speed and a force in breeding shared by no other known descendant of the Narragansett, there are strong rea- sons to believe he got in Vermont before he went to Canada, or that it came to him in Canada from Vermont, and that it was Morgan. It is difficult to ex- plain the Morgan form and qualities which he possessed irx any other way. Moreover, the Morgans must have gone into that Province. It is incredible that the Morgan blood, flowing in every other direction and asserting itself with the most marked results, should have failed to do so in the direction of Canada alone. The boundary line would no more have stopped the Morgan horse than it would have stopped the air or the sunshine. The Morgan blood must have flowed into the Province of Quebec at the start, when the Justin Morgan stood at Randolph, in 1793; at Williston, 1795 ; or at Montpelier, and perhaps in Canada itself, two or three years later. The Eastern Townships of Lower Canada were largely settled from Ver- mont and New Hampshire during the period between 1790 and 1820. To illustrate, Bolton on Lake Memphramagog was made a township in 1797. Among its earliest settlers were Nicholas Austin from Somerworth, New Hampshire, who came in 1793; Simeon Wadleigh from Hanover, New Hampshire, who came in 1796 ; Moses Peasley from New Hampshire, a year or two later; Alexander Thompson from Barnet, Vermont, 1794; Daniel Taylor from Danville, Vermont, 1795; Daniel Wingate from New Hamp- shire to the north part of Bolton, 1810 ; John Brill from St. Armand, Province of Quebec, 1800, and a brother a little later; Jonathan Dubois, from Rhode Island, and David Blunt, from Danville, Vermont, about the same time. These facts are from a "History of the Eastern Townships," by the Rev. C.Thomas, published at Montreal, 1866 ; and include the names of all the early settlers of Bolton whose previous residence is given. Of David Blunt, who came from Danville, Vermont, the very center of the Morgan interest, this history says : "Mr. Blunt was poor when he came to this township, but being industrious and economical, he soon accumulated a respectable competency. During the war of 1812 he kept a house for the entertainment of travelers, and the smugglers, passing through this section on their way to Montreal, always stopped with him, thus making 'tavern-keeping' for him a profitable busi- ness. Mr. Blunt was a man who took much pains in the rearing of stock, and his animals were always of a superior quality." But it was from Bolton that the elegant Morgan-shaped horse Copperbottom, the first, so far as known, as well as one of the best of the Canadian pacers that went to Ken- tucky, came. Copperbottom was born in 1809 and went to Kentucky, by way of Detroit, in 1816. How came this horse, of such merit, speed and beauty, one of the best of his day, to be found among the mountains of Bolton, at that time an almost unsettled wilderness? Did Mr. Blunt, the only man in the Eastern Townships set down in this history as having fine stock, bring in Copperbottom from Danville, his own native town? The horse was bred where there was the blood to produce him, and Danville,less than sixty miles distant, at the time he was bred was the birth-place of some of the best- 242 THE MORGAN HORSE bred horses on the American continent of similar build and characteristics ; one of which at least, Sherman Morgan , bred close to the Danville line, be- came far more famous than Copperbottom. The Morgan was derived largely, if not wholly, from the very best blood on this continent, and by its inherent merit, under adverse circumstances, founded a family. When this blood crossed into Canada, why should it not have operated there to produce a branch of this family, the same as it did in Vermont, New Hamp- shire, Massachusetts and all other localities where it is known to have gone ? No people are keener to appreciate merit in horses than the French-Cana- dians, and it is impossible to resist the conviction that no sooner did the Mor- gan blood enter into their country thajn they bred to it ; and that thus they raised that breed of pacers, that rose up through the Province like the leaves of the forest or the foam on the river, and which, because of their merit as well as numbers, were taken in large numbers to the States, where their blood frequently revolutionized all previous breeding and became the popular strain. We will now examine the evidence respecting the introduction of the pacer into the Province of Quebec. In returning from one of our trips to Canada we came to the pretty hamlet of Freleighsburgh, composed of about equal parts of valleys and hills, with a sparkling and beautiful river winding through. It was after a long journey and our horses needed their dinner, if not rest. At the hotel we were told that Thomas Pickering, who lived on the hill, some five miles from the village, was excellent authority on all matters of history, as he had for many years spent much time in gathering historical information. The feel- ing was so strong among those of the citizens present that he should be seen that we hired a livery team and drove to Mr. Pickering's house. He gave us much valuable information, and among other things said : " Father came here a little less than seventy years ago. I am sixty-four. There were no pacers in the French country. The pacers from Canada came from the States to start with ; Yankees used to cheat the Frenchmen in trading pacing mares. A man named King lived here many years ago, who used to work for Gov. Chittenden, on Onion River, Vermont. King lived to be nearly one hundred years old. He has told me many times about taking pacing mares into the French country and trading them to the French. There were no roads here then, only a blazed path through the woods to the French country. He used to go alone, taking half a dozen of these pacing mares at a time fastened together by head and tail. Once, he said, he went as far as Quebec. He had an extra memory and would tell every little par- ticular about the trades. He came through Fairfield, and went through St. Caesaire and St. Hyacinthe. Formerly there were only ponies in the French country. King used to tell, too, how Yankees would cheat the Frenchmen with pacing mares. No matter how old they were, they wanted them. King died twenty-five years ago or more. King came originally from New Jersey. He brought pacing mares into Canada as early as 1795." THE CANADIAN PACER 243 This important testimony of Mr. Pickering we found sustained in a book entitled, "Travels through Canada and the United States in the Years 1806-7-8," by John Lambert, who says (Vol. I, page 128) : "The cattle in Canada are rather diminutive, being mostly of the small Norman breed. If they have not degenerated in size by their emigration they have certainly not improved. The horses are strong and swift, many of them handsome, but they are mere ponies compared with the English horse. There is a large breed about ninety miles below Quebec, which are gen- erally brought up for heavy work. The first horse seen in Canada arrived in the ship Le Havre, July 16, 1665. It appears that neither sheep nor horned cattle were in the Province long before that time. Their cows and oxen are small, lean and poor. The sheep are small and have but little fleece. Poul- try are very good. " The Americans from the States carry on a lucrative traffic with the Cana- dians for their horses. The latter are very fond of a horse which runs with a quick shuffling pace, and the Americans bring in with them a parcel of rickety animals which have that accomplishment. The Canadian willingly exchanges his fine little horse for the pacer and often gives a few pounds to boot. The Americans return with the Canadian horses to Boston, or New York, and there obtain thirty or forty pounds for each, according to their value, which in Canada rarely sell for more than ten or twelve pounds. The Canadians are reckoned very adroit at a bargain ; but they sink in compari- son with an American horse-dealer". And again, while traveling in Ver- mont, he says : " The Vermonters are clean traders and are seldom outwitted in a bargain ; on the contrary, they have often displayed their dexterity as horse jockeys in Canada, and exchange their weak and rickety pacer for the hardy little Cana- dian horses". From this it is evident that when he wrote, "The Americans from tha States carry on a lucrative traffic with the Canadians", etc., he referred to the Vermonters, and it should be remembered that at this time the land traffic between Lower Canada and the States was almost entirely across the Ver- mont line. It thus appears that the Canadians had a passion for pacers, about the beginning of this century, which they gratified, not from any supplies of their own, but by means of those brought in from the States, especially from Ver- mont. These were generally pacing mares, and of course were frequently in foal to stallions of the locality whence they came. But it was precisely at this time that the Morgan horse began to flourish in Vermont, and it is a curious fact in this history that the Mr. King whose exploits in taking these mares into Canada each year has thus been handed down, lived at Williston, Ver- mont, where, in 1795 (the precise time when he was thus engaged) the Jus- tin Morgan was advertised to stand. Let us now consider the difference of gaits. Numerous writers have sprung into the arena, some of them quite recently, to tell exactly how it 244 THE MORGAN HORSE happens that one horse naturally paces and another trots. A writer in " Wal- lace's Monthly " with a good deal of force has said lately that the pacing gait is artificial; that a horse paces because he is taught to pace, and that any horse might be taught to pace. The writer claims that he has had much experience in breaking saddle horses and teaching them to pace, and thinks there is no certain inheritance of this gait, and that by disuse it will become ex- tinct in any breed. To illustrate this last point he cites the Pilot, Blue Bull and other families that were pacers, but have become trotters. This has been ably answered in several journals, especially "Clark's Horse Review" of Chicago, which claims that the pacing gait is as much a matter of inher- itance as the trotting or running; that- it is perhaps' the most deeply seated of all, handed down from the most remote generations, and so thoroughly established that a colt at a day old, if of pacing family, will pace as easily as he will walk. A prominent breeder says, with much force, that it will take a lifetime to eradicate any pacing blood admitted into a family. It will be seen from the above that opinion varies as to the origin and character of the pacing gait. That gaits are inherited there can be no doubt. But it is evident that in ordinary or promiscuous breeding the laws that con- trol gait are too complicated to be readily, if at all, understood. In promis- cuous breeding no one can tell what the color may be, and yet often in scientific breeding it becomes most firmly established. So, undoubtedly, the different gaits can be, and are, and if two ani- mals that are confirmed pacers are bred together, the result will undoubt- edly be a natural pacer. But suppose we cross pacing and trotting blood. It is not probable that the produce will be both a natural pacer and a natural trotter. Perhaps it will be neither ; but perhaps, too, it will be very pro- nouncedly one or the other. It must be something, and it may be, for aught we can foresee, anything. "Perhaps it may turn out a song, perhaps turn out a sermon." But let us suppose in such a problem that both animals have speed, that also has been handed down in a long line of inheritance. Then each equally will beget speed ; for this quality of speed, is, we can well suppose, distinct from the gait through which it is used. It is in part undoubtedly a disposition ; an ambition to be at the front. It is the quality to get there. This speed is begot, and however the gait is decided, it enters into it. Hence we see frequently a very fast performer produced by the crossing of animals of very different gaits, but both fast. In all discussion of breeding we may be sure of one thing, that the law of inheritance will always act ; that law being the tendency of every individual or thing to reproduce itself, it being re- membered that this law is modified by, or includes, atavism. That a pacer, or progenitor of pacers, may be very largely trotting-bred, and vice versa, is demonstrated by many prominent instances. Thus Adrian Wilkes, which has no known pacing blood nearer to him than his third dam, has got as many pacers as trotters, and these much the fastest, including Lillian 2 -.14^, and Roy Wilkes 2 109. His brother, Mike Wilkes, has paced in 2 :i$^. Alcantara, by George Wilkes (a trotter THE CANADIAN PACER 245 and trotting bred), from a dam that has no known crosses except trot- ting and thoroughbred, got eight pacers under 2 124, the dams of several of which are by Hambletonian horses. Ajax, by Hambletonian, from Dolly Mills by American Star, has got six pacers with records of 2 -.25 or better, against three trotters of slower records. Gambetta Wilkes, by George Wilkes, from dam by Vermont and grandam by Cannon's Whip, having no known blood but trotting or thoroughbred excepting what might come through the dam of Vermont, got eleven pacers with records from 2:12^ to 2 125, against nine trotters of records from 2 124 to 2 128 ; and these pacers mostly from dams by trotting-bred sires. It will be seen by referring to the Babbitt Horse, son of Woodbury Morgan, that he got much pacing stock. These illustrations might be indefinitely extended, but enough are here produced to show that because a horse is a pacer, or a family of horses are pacers, it does not follow that they have no trotting inheritance. On the contrary, they may be very largely trotting-bred. Undoubtedly, if so, as a rule, the more easily will their gait, or that of their offspring, change to the trotting gait. And in this Dansereau family, the most renowned by far of all the pacing blood in Canada, this tendency to produce the trotting gait is very marked. It is illustrated in the most famous son of Pilot, Pilot, Jr., which was a trotter himself and got trotters ; in Columbus, that was both pacer and trotter, and Young Columbus, that got only trotters ; in Petit Coq or Beppo, Live Oak, Frank Pierce, Black Diamond and their get, which were among the fastest trotters of their day, and all of which were bred at Vercheres, or near there, and largely inbred to the Dansereau blood. With this introduction we will next proceed to give the history of Pilot, that may fairly be considered a leading, if not the leading, representa- tive of the Province of Quebec Pacer ; and, in doing this, we shall give the history of the Dansereau breed, from which to a very large extent the Canadian pacer and trotter, of 1820 to 1860, descended. XV PILOT Very dark brown, nearly black, with mealy ring around the eyes and mealy nose; no white marks; about fifteen hands; foaled 1823 ; bred by Louis Dansereau, Contre Cceur, Province of Quebec ; sire unknown : dam Jeanne d'Arc, black pacer, bred by Louis Dansereau, got by Voyageur that was foaled the property of Pierre Fisette of Contre-Cceur, from a mare that he traded for with a Yankee about 1811 (See Voyageur, Vol. II.) ; second dam a black pacer, described by Louis Dansereau, in 1842, as " active, but not very fleet", that Louis Dansereau traded for at Montreal about 1814 with a Yankee teamster. Pilot was sold when eighteen months old to Andrew Chicuine of Yer- cheres, who kept him about a year and sold to Joseph Dansereau of the same place (a brother of Louis), who took him to Montreal in 1829, and kept him there a number of weeks, when he was bought for one hundred and fifty dollars by Elias Lee Rockwell of Stafford, Connecticut ; Rockwell took him to Stafford in the fall of 1829, and sold a half interest to John Dean of that place. They kept the horse there till the next August, selling also a part interest to M. S. P. Dean, a brother of John. In August, 1830, Rockwell took the horse to Nor- wich, New York, leading him behind his pedlar wagon, and thence to New Orleans, pacing him in contests along the route. M. S. P. Dean also accom- panied him to New Orleans, and they took with them a running horse that he owned, called Sleepy John, and there, some time before June, 1831, they sold Pilot to Major O. Dubois for one thousand dollars, taking their pay in sugar. As early as 1832, perhaps in the fall of 1831, Pilot was bought for one thousand dollars by Messrs. Heinsohn & Poe of Louisville, Kentucky, and was brought from New Orleans to that city, and there and in that vicinity was kept till his death. Mr. D. Heinsohn owned Pilot the larger part of his life, but sold him, probably about 1850, for three hundred dollars, to Robert Bell of Louisville, who sent the horse to his farm near Henderson, Kentucky, where he dropped dead about 1853. The history of Pilot is a striking and dramatic story. Born upon the banks of the magnificent St. Lawrence, he drew from his ancestors, and took in from the pure airs and green pastures of Canada, a constitution full of the vigor of the North. Taken early to Montreal, he fell into the possession of the ubiquitous Yankee. His marvelous power and speed were now ap- 248 THE MORGAN HORSE predated, and because of these rare qualities he made the pilgrimage of the continent, from the frigid shore of the St. Lawrence to the tropical banks of the lower Mississippi. The environment is completely reversed, the identity of the horse is completely lost, but the horse himself remains the same. Still comparatively young, he is transplanted to Kentucky, already then be- coming famous, with its fertile fields, delightful climate and chivalrous people, as the home and producer of noble horses, and there he finds his final home, leaving an impress upon the already excellent stock of that young State that but few horses upon her soil have ever equaled. A tradition had hung about him throughout all his pilgrimage, that he was a Canadian ; but of his real origin nothing in fact was known. Because his origin was unknown, and he was a pacer, it may have been generally supposed that he was of plebeian ancestry. But when it is remembered that few or none could compete with him in speed and none produced better stock, the discriminating breeder must have always hesitated to indorse this theory. The stream does not rise higher than its fountain. The blood of Pilot had in it the elements of strength, speed and courage, and must have come from ancestors in which these qualities predominated. As illustrating the entire obscurity under which the origin and history of the American pacer was hidden at that time, we quote from an essay by John H. Wallace in the September number, 1877, of his "Monthly", and we may premise by saying that there was no one better informed than he on the sub- ject at that day : "The original Copperbottom was taken into Kentucky as early as 1810 or '12. There are two stories concerning him: One, that he came from Virginia, and the other, that he came from Canada. " At that day the intercourse between Virginia and Kentucky was con- stant, as the early settlers were largely from Virginia, while the intercourse between Kentucky and Canada was, of necessity, very infrequent. There were no family ties and no business relations, and it is not probable that a single Kentuckian visited Canada once in a year ; we think, therefore, that the chances are as a thousand to one that Copperbottom was a native Virginian. " The founder of the Hiatoga family, a pacing horse by that name, reached Kentucky in 1822, and he left a sire and a grandsire in Virginia, bearing the same name, which carries us back even further than the period of Copper- bottom. " Rice's Hiatoga, that reached Ohio from Virginia, some ten years after the other horse was taken to Kentucky, was by a horse in Virginia, called American Hiatoga, and no doubt belonged to the same family from which sprung the Kentucky branch of the family. From this it is evident there were plenty of pacers in Virginia at the beginning of this century, and it was not at all necessary to go to Canada for one. " Old pacing Pilot has generally been called a Canadian, and, with every- body else, we have ourselves fallen into that habit ; but we have not a parti- cle of evidence that either he or his ancestors ever saw Canada. PILOT 249 "When he made his appearance in New Orleans, in the wagon of a Yankee pedlar, and privately showed Major Dubois 2 126, with one hundred and sixty-five pounds on his back, it is not difficult to understand that the pedlar's wagon was simply an agency to assist in a little sharp practice among sporting men, and to get on as much money as possible in a match with somebody. We have it from an unpublished source that the horse was well known among a few sporting men about Covington, Kentucky, before he made his appearance in New Orleans ; and that is the earliest point in his history of which there is any trace. " Blackburn's Davy Crockett has not founded so large a family as some others, but, with such animals as Red Cloud, Molsey, etc., indebted to *hem for their speed, his true origin becomes a matter of very great interest. We know of no circumstance connected with his history that points toward Can- ada. We thus might go on and enumerate Tom Hal, Snowstorm, Blue Bull, Rainbow, and scores of others in the West, that were called Canadians for no other reason in the world than that they were pacers. The only two that we can now definitely and positively trace from Canada to Kentucky were Canada Chief, that went to Tennessee, and Cceur de Lion, neither of which appears to have made any mark". In our next work, "The Horse", it will be shown that Copperbottom was in fact brought to Kentucky from Bolton, Canada. The evidence that Pilot was brought from Montreal, or some point near there, amounts to a demon- stration, as will appear. We observed that a person who occasionally wrote for some of the horse papers over the nom de plume, "Spurs", seemed to have some knowledge of the early history of Pilot, and learned that his address was C. W. Kennedy, Montgomery, Alabama. We wrote him and got a reply under date of April 20th, 1885, containing the following information : "I knew Mr. Dubois in New Orleans and was for several years in part- nership with Mr. Heinsohn, who bought old Pilot from Mr. Dubois. Pilot was unmistakably a Canuck. I have talked with both the gentlemen named and got it from them that Pilot was brought to New Orleans by a pedlar who thought he could beat any horse living in a pace. I have owned and handled and seen a good many good ones, and I am sure Pilot could go faster than any one, trotter or pacer, I ever saw. My belief was that the pedlar took Pilot with him to make races, as a match was made at New Orleans for one thousand dollars a side. Pilot was hard to restrain, and I was told that the pedlar rode him two miles in 4 : 47, having pulleys attached to a breeching. This leaked out and the match fell through. I have ridden him often. He always paced except in the snow, to sleigh, when he often trotted and did so fast He was never hitched up, that I know of, except to sleigh. Pilot was cross, and most persons were afraid of him, as he was a bad biter, a black horse, fourteen hands high, with very heavy mane and tail, very long and heavy for a horse of his height, and the strongest of his size ever saw. His hind leg was almost perfectly straight. There could be no mistake about his being a Canadian. * * Old Pilot lost an 250 THE MORGAN HORSE eye but not until he was twelve or fourteen years old, and had one good eye when he died, well on in the twenties". After this we corresponded, traveled, followed up false clues, disproved alleged information, and withal did a great deal of work to no purpose for a year. Early in May, 1886, in Dr. Herr's stable in Lexington, Kentucky, we met J. W. Forman, Esq., who drove into the barn and sat with his son in his buggy. We were asking Dr. Herr about Pilot, when the younger gentleman remarked that the man with him knew more about old Pilot than any other man living. We then interviewed the elder Mr. Forman, who is a gentleman of much intelligence and apparent accuracy. The substance of Mr. For- man's statement was that Pilot was brought to New Orleans in the fall of 1833 or 1834 by a man from Canada, name forgotten but thought to be Bean or something similar ; that this man brought the running horse Billy, with him. The man was fine-looking, about thirty years old, low and heavy-set, had dark hair, and was not a Frenchman. He intended to match Billy against Cow Driver, but Billy died and his owner was distracted at his loss. Mr. Forman was with Charles Barker handling horses, and was stopping at Norton's stable when this man came there with the horses, and Mr. Forman let him in, as he came in the night. Barker and Dubois bought Pilot and he (Forman) took care of him that winter. Major Lindsay of North Middle- town, Kentucky, got him of Barker after he came to Louisville, and stood him at North Middletown one season; Mr. Forman thought it was 1836 and that James R. Rogers of Cane Ridge had the book. Mr. Forman was not able to fix the year accurately, as he was at New Orleans every winter from 1830 to 1834, inclusive, but was satisfied that it was after the cholera year, 1832, and was pretty sure it was 1834. We wrote to Mr. James R. Rogers, and he replied as follows : " Pilot was leased from parties in Louisville, and made the season at the stables of Col. Nimrod Lindsay, near North Middletown, Bourbon county, in 1835. No evidence from the book before me that he made another. Stood at eight dollars". We wrote again to Mr. Kennedy, who replied that he went to Louisville in 1834, and was clerk in a store the next two years ; did not remember seeing Pilot till 1835 ; saw him also in 1836. It began to look as if we were at the end of the rope. We could get no trace of the pedlar and had really no clue reaching beyond the ar- rival of the horse at New Orleans. "It is the unexpected that hap- pens." At the Kellogg sale at New York, in March, 1887, we were called by one of the editors of "The Sportsman" to be introduced to Mr. James of Canada. Being about to watch the selling of a pair of mares, we abruptly asked to be excused, remarking to Mr. James that we were quite desirous of talking with him further, especially about Royal George and his dam, and that if we did not meet him again here would call on him in Canada, where we were soon going to look up the history of Pilot. A well-appearing gen- tleman that stood close to us turned suddenly about saying : " I can tell you all about old Pilot without your going to Canada". To say our first feeling was one of incredulity would not half express it ; but second thought PILOT 251 told us we would better find out what the man did know, and soon we were satisfied that he knew very well what he was talking about. And so a casual remark to a stranger, itself made by accident, had been overheard in a crowd by another stranger, who was probably the only man in New York city that knew anything about the early history of the horse in question, and led finally to full knowledge of the horse. Truly it was the unexpected that oc- curred. The gentleman was Mr. John Moore of Fleetwood Park. The in- formation he gave us was so pointed and so surprising that we here give our notes of it entire. Mr. Moore said : "I was born in 1823, and lived at Norwich, New York. I remember when a boy seeing old pacing Pilot. I do not think he was called Pilot then. He was a black horse ; my recollection is about fifteen and three-fourths hands. A pedlar by the name of Rockwell came into our town and had him. He did not drive him ; he rode him under saddle, using pulleys to hold him. This Rockwell pedled Yankee notions ; used to drive all over the country, often having four horses. Pilot he led back of his cart. He would deal in all kinds of horses ; often bought running horses and raced them. After he brought Pilot in, he left Norwich and was gone a year or more ; then came back and lived there, He married his wife near there : she was a Cushman, Dan Cushman' s sister, of Plymouth. Whilst he was gone he sold Pilot, and I have often heard him tell since about taking him South and selling him, I think at New Orleans. This was after Pilot became noted that he would talk of him. Pilot did not have a long tail ; it hung down pretty well, but I think had been cut off. He did not look like a pacer; not so steep rump. He was strong made, not a ragged-hipped horse, built just for speed. He wasn't like a Narragansett. He was a well-bred horse ; hadn't much crest ; neck went into the shoulders straight-like ; held his head up in going ; good rump ; long from the hocks to the hips ; a strong, blocky horse with a bony head ; not a big head. Rockwell paced him all over the country. My opinion is that he was ugly in stable ; and I think he got him in Montreal, or Canada anyway, and I am very sure he said he got him in Montreal. Mr. Rockwell died about ten years ago. He was a short, thick-set man with black curly hair, quite good looking. I am quite certain he came from Connecticut ; he must have been born about the beginning of the century". At a second interview Mr. Moore said : "He got him at Montreal— no, at a small town near Montreal ; that is what he said". As soon after receiving this information as leisure permitted, we visited Norwich, New York. We found plenty of old people there who remembered Rockwell's visit to that place with the black pacing stallion, and they corrob- orated Mr. Moore at all points, except as to the size of the horse, they think- ing him under rather than over fifteen hands. From Mr. Mason Wescott, who is a son-in-law of Elias Lee Rockwell, we learned that Rockwell was born at Stafford Springs, Connecticut, in 1801 ; moved to Norwich, New York, to live in 1843, though he had been there before ; he was a pedb Yankee notions, and after moving to Norwich was in business there i firm of R. I. Johnson & Co. He died in 1872. Mr. Wescott thought he 252 THE MORGAN HORSE had heard Mr. Cushman, Rockwell's wife's brother, say that Rockwell got the horse near Montreal and took him to Stafford, Connecticut ; Mr. Wescott also thought Rockwell paid cash for the horse, but got him very cheap on ac- count of his owner's being afraid of him ; also that Rockwell had a running horse with Pilot at New Orleans. Mr. Wescott and another old resident of Norwich, who remembered the horse well, stated positively that Rockwell called him Pilot when at Norwich. Shortly after our visit Mr. Wescott wrote as follows : " I often heard Rockwell speak of this horse you mention. He called him Black Pilot. He bought him in Canada, of whom I cannot say ; he bought him cheap ; he heard of him and went to look him over. The horse was in the stall. The owner said he wanted to sell him, but dare not take him out to show him. Mr. Rockwell managed to get a bridle on him, and, as he came out of the door, jumped on his back and rode him until he tired the horse out, and could handle him. He sold the horse in New Orleans for one thousand dollars, to whom I cannot say. There is an old man living here, a successful horse-dealer by the name of Andrews Pellett, who remembers the horse distinctly ; has seen him pace on our streets here. He says he was the fastest horse ever here ; thinks he would pace a twenty clip ; says Mr. Rockwell rode him with breeching and pullies attached to his bits. Pellett says he was black, fair size, fifteen hands, compactly built, good length of quarter, coarse mane and tail ; of high temperament ; was six or seven years old ; thinks Mr. Rockwell had him here eight or ten years before he came here to live ". Several old people at Norwich thought they had heard that Rockwell got Pilot near Montreal. One old resident thus described him : " I think he came from Canada — not one of those big-headed horses ; he showed good breeding ; a decent-sized horse, black ; I don't recollect any white. He was a Morgan-shaped horse ". We visited Stafford, Connecticut. The first information we got there was from James F. Brooks of that town, born in 1811, who said : "This horse was rather less than middling size, no white, a sprightly little horse, a good-looking little horse, pony-built. Should not think he was here over six months. I think I must have been of age. Mr. Rockwell raced this horse through the street on training day and he was unmanageable. He was a young horse, I should think not more than five or six years old". Mr. Rockwell of Stafford, born in 1799, and brother of Elias Rockwell, said : " My brother took the black pacer to New Orleans and traded him off for sugar. I do not know where my brother got him. John Dean owned the horse with my brother, and sold half of his interest to his brother, M. S. P. Dean. After they returned from New Orleans there was a lawsuit about the horse. I think the horse came here in September and went away the next spring. I remember my brother rode him on training day, the first Monday in May. I think the horse was here about six months. He was below middling size, no white, a pretty good-shouldered horse, not very long- bodied ; neck set up pretty well, put on well and cut up pretty well under PILOT 253 the throat ; good head, rather short ears, very wide between the eyes, good thick breast that came well out between his fore legs ; not a very thick-built horse, tight match to weigh a thousand pounds ; not a great bow-neck, rather a short neck. I do not believe he was a Canadian. Not a coarse horse, a fine-formed horse, remarkably good flat legs. Guess my brother bought him right out. I was married March 27th, 1827 ; had been married, I think, sev- eral years when he had the horse ". Willard Orcutt of Stafford, born in 1804, said : "I remember the black pacer that Rockwell had. I know he had him the summer I worked for Walbridge, which was the summer before I was married". The marriage, shown by the family record, was on November i6th, 1830. " M. S. P. Dean had a little running horse, and they took them off to- gether. I think they got the pacer in the fall and wintered him here. Rock- well and Dean went South and took those two horses to New Orleans". Mrs. Orcutt, wife of Willard, said : " I remember the black pacer ; it was a young horse and ugly-tempered. I remember the lawsuit between Dean and Rockwell. It was held in the ball-room at the hotel kept by Wil- liam Kill, and I attended. Stoddard and Goddard were the lawyers for Dean, and Squire Willey and another were on the other side. I remember that, at the trial, the lawyers mentioned more than fifty times the name of the man they sold the horse to — it was Dubois". At Mr. Rockwell's house we found another significant bit of evidence \ it was an old account book in which was written, in the hand of Elias Lee Rockwell : " Elias L. Rockwell. Book given him by his grandam Rock- well, in the year 1831, Dec. I have traveled through twenty-one of the U. S. A. and territories ; went to New Orleans in the year 1830, got home in 1831, in August, with fever and ague. A rover I am and not yet satisfied. ELIAS L. ROCKWELL". Mr. Smith Page of Stafford remembered the horse ; thought he was there about 1831, and that Rockwell got him in Vermont or Canada. Another Mr. Page, a brother, said : " I remember the horse. When I was in Cali- fornia I saw a man from New Orleans who knew this black pacer, and said he was afterwards taken to Tennessee or Kentucky". Seneca Page, another brother, said : " I remember the horse well ; think he had not been out of the barn for months before Rockwell bought him. He was a little black horse, black as a coal, with something over his eyes ; his eye-brow looked like a person's eye-brow. He was pretty chunked built, had a heavy neck, well put on ; rather a short-legged horse and pretty heavy-built. He was not a coarse-looking horse ; looked a little ugly, as he was ; a right-down smooth horse ; curled his mouth in toward his breast. Should not call him a Mor- gan ; the Morgans are broader. He was more like the Vermont Black Hawks. Danforth Morse of Union, Connecticut, had a small sorrel mar that was got by this black pacer. Dean or Rockwell had Sleepy John, a light red running horse". 254 THE MORGAN HORSE Mr. Cushman of Stafford said : " I remember the black racker. They had a lawsuit about him. John Dean made two trips to New Orleans to get testimony. Rockwell got beaten in the suit". Mr. Samuel Rockwell, a nephew of Elias L., in answer to inquiry as to what route his uncle would have been likely to take in going to Canada, said : " Mr. Elias Lee of Stanstead, Canada, who moved there from Willing- ton, Connecticut, was a cousin of my grandmother, Hannah Lee ; my uncle, Elias Lee Rockwell, was named after him, and used to visit him when he went to Canada". Perceiving that the record of the suit between Dean and Rockwell would absolutely fix the dates in question, we drove to the county seat of Tolland county, the quiet and beautiful village of Tolland, where we found in the records of the Superior court the record in question, of which the fol- lowing is a certified copy : " To the sheriff of the county of Tolland, his deputy or either of the con- stables of the town of Stafford within said county, greeting : " By authority of the State of Connecticut, you are hereby commanded to summon Elias L. Rockwell of said Stafford to appear before the county court to be holden at Tolland within and for the county of Tolland, on the fourth Tuesday of December, A. D. 1832, then and there to answer to John Dean of said town of Stafford, in the plea that to the plaintiff the defendant render his reasonable account for the time he was the bailiff of the plaintiff. Whereupon the plaintiff declares and says that from the first day of August, A. D. 1830, till the first day of June, A. D. 1831, the defendant, as bailiff of the plaintiff, had the possession of an undivided moiety of a certain black pacing stud-horse about seven years old, of the value of one thousand dol- lars, which the plaintiff and defendant owned together as tenants in common, and the defendant had the possession of the other moiety in his own right, and during all that time the defendant had the care and management of said horse, to use, sell and dispose of, for the advantage and profit of the plaintiff and defendant, and to render his reasonable account thereof to the plaintiff when he should be thereto required. And the plaintiff further says that sometime between said first day of August, 1830, and said first day of June, 1831, the defendant sold and disposed of said black pacing stud-horse for the sum of one thousand dollars, yet the defendant, though often requested, has never rendered his reasonable account thereof to the plaintiff, but has always refused and still does refuse so to do, which is to the damage of the plaintiff the sum of five hundred dollars, and to recover the same with costs of suit, and that the defendant render his reasonable account during the time he was bailiff and receiver, as aforesaid, the plaintiff brings this suit. " Hereof fail not, but of this writ, with your doings thereon, legal service and return make, according to law. " Dated at Stafford, the 24th day of November, A. D. 1832.

The docket entry made the ttyrd Tuesday in October, 1833, showed that the case was then ruled to Minor Graves, Zena Winter and Nathaniel Sibley of Stafford, auditors, to report the third Tuesday of April, 1834. It was the hearing before these auditors that Mrs. Orcutt attended. This record establishes the facts that Dean became jointly interested with Rockwell in this "black pacing stud-horse" on or about the first of August, 1830, and that the horse was sold by Rockwell between that date and the first of June, 1831 ; also that, in 1830, he was called by his owners either six or seven years old. Taken in connection with the above entry by Rockwell in his book, the statement of Mrs. Orcutt, and the other evidence already noted, it also establishes the fact that this horse was sold by Rock- 256 THE MORGAN HORSE well in New Orleans and that Major Dubois was the purchaser or one of the purchasers ; thereby proving that the horse was Pilot. Mr. Andrews Pellett of Norwich, New York, who was referred to by Mason Wescott as an old and successful horseman, and who is a man of prominence and wealth in that place, wrote in reply to questions concerning the horse Rockwell had at Norwich, as above stated, under date of Decem- ber i3th, 1887, as follows : " Q. Was he a good-looking horse ? A. Yes. " Q. Had he any white ? A. No ; don't think he had. " Q. Was he a coarse horse ? A. Sort of blocky built, not coarse and not fine. " Q. Were his mane and tail heavy ? A. I think they were. "Q. Was his tail docked? If so, how long or short? A. Could not say ; his tail hung down to his gambrel. I was only a boy when I saw this horse ; could not have been over sixteen or seventeen years of age. Saw him pace ; could pace very fast. They said he came from Canada. I thought he looked more like a Black Hawk or a Morgan. (Signed) A. PELLETT." Under date of March i2th, 1888, Mr. John Moore wrote us the following concerning Pilot ; " When Mr. Rockwell brought this black horse to Norwich he led him behind his peddling wagon, and when he raced him he rode him. He was a strong-headed horse, and he had pul- leys attached to his saddle. I remember this, for it was the first I ever saw. He was a wonderful going horse. Rockwell showed him across the flats and all the horsemen said they never saw anything like it, and I shall never forget it. Rockwell did not live there then ; he came there about ten years after. It was some time, either in 1857 or 1863, that he told me the name. He said : 'John, do you remember the black horse I bought here, the pacer'? I said I did. 'Well, that is the horse they call Pilot. I sold him in New Orleans. I have seen him, and that is the horse'. He was always talking about him, telling about the races that he won with him. He said when he bought him he was so wicked that you could not go into the stable to lead him out ; he said it took him a long time to break him. I do not think he ever drove him". In another letter, dated April i3th, 1888, Mr. Moore wrote the follow- ing description of Pilot : " He was not a coal black, rather a faded black, what you would call a dirty black or a dark brown when he came to Nor- wich ; it was warm weather. He did not look like a stallion ; he had a plain, straight neck; you would take him for a gelding. When he was pacing fast he did not have that high knee-action that the French horses have ; more like Pocahontas' gait". In January, 1889, at Montgomery, Alabama, we had an interview with Mr. C. W. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1815, and there educated. In October, 1834, he removed to Louisville, Kentucky, where he was for several years clerk in a store, and was afterwards PILOT 257 some years with Mr. D. Heinsohn, who then owned Pilot, as has been stated. Mr. Kennedy said : " Old Pilot was a regular Canuck, a very remarkable horse ; most pow- erful horse I ever saw in my life for his size, fourteen hands high, very low to the ground, not over fourteen and a half hands high anyway. He was black, no white hairs that I remember ; very heavy mane and tail ; neck looked short, but he was not really a short-necked horse. As fine a head as any thoroughbred, wide between the eyes ; good eye, stuck out ; nothing coarse about him. A remarkable horse, and one remarkable thing about him was his hind leg, which was straight as a post. He was so fast — in those days time watches were scarce, but I believe he would go at any time to the quar- ter in thirty seconds. Heinsohn was afterwards partner with me in the ownership of Pilot, Jr. Old Pilot would get off very quick. It was impos- sible to start him with another horse. He was cross in the stall ; always groomed by one man, who handled him with a big stick ; knocked one eye out. They had a window to put his feed in. He was a pacer ; always paced. It was two or three years before Heinsohn found out he could trot at all. Never drove him to harness except to sleigh. His temper was brought about by abuse. He was not a bad-tempered horse after Mr. Bell got him. " They matched him against Bucktail in Cincinnati. Woodruff said if he had ridden Pilot he could have beaten. Pilot would weigh one thousand pounds ; nine hundred to one thousand ; a tremendous horse for his height. His colts were generally of fine size ; depended upon the mares. A great many of his colts were trotters. We used to think that to breed a trotter we must have some Canadian blood on one side or the other. The pedlar called him Pilot ; I am sure of this. Dubois was the most prominent horseman in New Orleans at that day; a good respectable man. The pedlar told Dubois his horse could beat anybody's horse, and rode him a trial in 2 126. Dubois bought him and sold him to Heinsohn, whose agent, Barker, I think it was, brought him to Louisville. I think the only race Pilot made was with Bucktail. Do not think he was at New Orleans long. Heinsohn sold him to Robert Bell of Louisville, who sent him down to his plantation, somewhere near Henderson, I think, where he dropped dead. " Pilot was blocky built, long body but short back ; good-shaped horse ; best legs you ever saw ; hairy on legs ; tail not long but heavy ; a horse of tre- mendous stride and as quick as lightning : never touched a hair. He would go single -foot a little way at starting. Most powerful back and loin, and a good belly to carry his food. He did not have an arched neck but came well up from the shoulders ; nice long head and beautiful muzzle. He did not look like a Canadian." It would seem that the pen of Mr. Kennedy was the first to furnish any authentic history of Pilot, for as far back as 1857 he wrote to the "Spirit of the Times" a letter dated at Lexington, Kentucky, on August iyth of that year, from which the following extract is taken : 258 THE MORGAN HORSE " Old Pilot was a jet-black Canadian horse, about fourteen and a half hands high, of great length and fine bone, with action which was unsurpassed in his day. He generally paced, though he trotted finely. Pilot was taken to New Orleans by a Yankee pedlar about the year 1832, then six or seven years of age. He was sold toMaj. O. Dubois for one thousand dollars. This must have been a large price for the little black ram, as he was frequently called. But the major, being one of the best horsemen in the States, knew well what he was about. He told me that the Yankee told him that his horse could go alarming fast, and that his price was one thousand dollars cash. The price, more than anything else, induced the major to look at him. They took him out ; the pedlar rode him with a breeching with pulleys leading to his mouth, and what time do you think he made in the year 1831 or 1832, when, if I am correctly informed, three minutes was about the best on record in a trot, and 2 140 in a pace? Well, sir, he paced a mile in 2 126, with one hundred and sixty-five pounds on his back. Of course the major bought him, and afterwards matched him, but the cat was out of the bag, and find- ing he could do nothing with him in the way of racing, he sold him t^ Mr. D. Heinsohn of Louisville Kentucky, for the same price he gave for him, who kept him until he was twenty-eight years old, when he sold him for three hundred dollars to a gentleman of Louisville, who sent him to his farm for private use where he died a few years since, about thirty years of age. The produce of this horse are remarkable for stoutness and speed". Mr. Kennedy usually rode Pilot in his speed exhibitions while Mr. Heinsohn owned him. We learned that David W. Whitney of Amesbury, Massachusetts, used to work for Rockwell. We reached him through the postmaster at Amesbury and to our inquiry as to where Rockwell bought his fast black pacing-stallion, received the following reply. "AMESBURY, MASSACHUSETTS, June 24th, 1889. DEAR SIR : I will answer your letter in few words. I was well acquainted with Elias Lee Rockwell of Stafford, Connecticut, now dead. I remember his having a "black pacing stallion" which was a fast one. He bought him, he said, in Montreal. After several successful races in New England, he took him south and I suppose, sold him, as he did not bring him back. He (the horse) was very vicious until Rockwell and Dean purchased him ; so much so that previous owners could not handle him. Truly yours, Per F. C. W. DAVID W. WHITNEY. Our first trip into Canada for information of its horses was made by team in 1887. Our course was first to Caledonia county, Vermont, from Middlebury, by way of Montpelier, thence through Orleans county almost directly north to Stanstead, Province of Quebec. From Stamstead we drove around Lake Memphremagog to Waterloo. Here we left our team and went by cars to St. Hyacinthe. It was at St. Hyacinthe that we first learned of the famous fast pacers and trotters bred by Messrs. Dansereau and SCENES IN NEW ORLEANS 258 1 - Montreal Harbor from Custom House Victoria Square, Montreal PILOT 259 Prive" on the St. Lawrence River, at or near Vercheres. Our next trip was in 1889 by cars to Montreal. Here we heard again of the fast pacers and trot- ters bred by Messrs. Dansereau and Prive\ This time, after visiting Caugh- nawaga, we went down the river and visited Vercheres. From the notes that we took on this trip we quote : Joseph Sky, otherwise called Chief Joe, Caughnawaga, born 1817, a French and Indian half-breed, said : " They used to trot horses on the ice and on the track here when I was eighteen years old ; not much pacing ; they used to run horses some". James Dionne, Caughnawaga, trainer and driver, born 1817, said : " My father had a pacing gelding in 1840. There were some pacers then, the same as now. The Vercheres horses were called Black Hawks, and F. H. Prive" told me that there were Black Hawks at Vercheres nearly one hundred years ago ". Walter I. Prendergast, Cote des Neiges, Province of Quebec, said : "I owned Live Oak about 1845 ; bred by Mr. Prive, twenty-four miles below Montreal. They had there at that time about the best breed of horses we had in Canada. The Commis breed of horses were under size, but very speedy, a good many of them black and chestnut. They were very pretty, handsome ponies and excellent horses. Many of the best of our horses have been raised about Vercheres ; great place for pacers ; more trotters than pacers, but I think there were more pacers formerly than now, though a majority of horses in my youth were trotters. What we called pure Cana- dian showed no thoroughbred points. They have short necks, are heavy about the jowl, very thick-set, have stout, heavy limbs, heavy manes and tails, some very hairy on their legs ; they are usually speedy and the majority trot ; occasionally a pacer. Bellaire was a chestnut horse, fifteen hands high, owned some forty years ago by James Spaulding at Mile End, near Montreal. The Bellaires were a good deal like the Morgans ; had a good deal of style. In the real Canadian both the neck and head lack blood ". F. Des Marches of Cote des Neiges, born 1824, said: "Bellaire was a thick, pony-built horse of fifteen hands, and looked like a blood horse. When I was a very little boy there was a black pacing stallion here that paced very fast. He was sold and went to the States. A good-looking horse with good head and neck, no white. Dansereau and Priv£ of Ver- cheres, had the best horses when I was young ". Joseph Charlebois, for many years a horse-dealer of Montreal, said : " Vercheres was the first place that speed came from in Canada. The Com- mis horse came from there. He was foaled about 1830 and owned by Boulanger of Vercheres and sold to a brother in Montreal. It was said Black Hawk in Vermont came from Vercheres. The Commises were of the Danse- reau breed. At first they were all black ; afterwards roan, sorrel and chest- nut. They were mostly small horses with high crests, heavy mane and tail, clean legs ; a little sloping behind. If we had had no Commises here, there would be no fast trotters in Kentucky. They came here to get this Dansereau blood. I sold a very handsome white stallion, nineteen years old, fifteen hands, that went to Kentucky ; very fast, but lame. He was of the Commis 260 THE MORGAN HORSE breed and bred at St. Mary. This was in 1851, I think. His sire was owned by La Pierre of St. Rose, and was a pacer. The St. Lawrences you have to whip; the Black Hawks are blooded and you don't have to whip them". Between 1889 and 1892 we made several more trips to Canada and obtained the following information : Jean Baptiste La Rose of Vercheres, Province of Quebec, a very bright and well-preserved old gentleman, born December 8th, 1804, said : "Joseph Dansereau took a black pacing stallion that he had to Montreal, when five or six years old, and sold it, I think to an American, for one hundred and fifty dollars. I think he was all black. He was bred by Louis Dansereau, who sold him when about eighteen months old to A. Chicouagne, and he sold him to Joseph Dansereau. This stallion was a very fast pacer, but pulled very hard, so that it took two men to drive him. " The first fast horses here were owned by the Dansereaus ; the next were of the same family of horses and owned by Prive. This black stallion men- tioned above was the first horse I knew to be sold from here. I think I was about twenty when it was sold. I was a farmer and lived in Vercheres about a mile from Joseph Dansereau. I remember that M. La Bonte had a black stallion when I was a boy, and I remember when about fifteen of seeing a very good black pacing mare of Louis Dansereau. I do not remember where this mare came from, but remember there was another black mare from this one ". In a later interview, in June, 1891, M. La Rose said : " It is seventy-six years ago (1815) that the oldest black mare of Louis Dausereau was bred. I think I was eleven years. I took my first communion seventy-three or seventy-four years ago, about the year the church was burned ; the next year she had the black filly". At still another interview M. La Rose said : " I think the first colt Louis Dansereau bred was the one Joseph DansereaVi had. Dansereau sold this colt, a nice-looking pacer, to Andrew Chicouagne and he to Joseph Dansereau, over sixty years ago. I was about eighteen when Louis sold this horse, then a year old, to Chicouagne, who sold it when two and a half years old to Joseph Dansereau, and he sold it in Montreal when five or six years old. "Clement Dansereau had four horses, one of which had white legs behind and a white face. They all came from the first one that was sold at Mon- treal. M. La Bonte" was well off and had a farm at Jean Baptiste, and another at St. Hyacinthe. He was quite a horse trader. I do not know whether the Joseph Dansereau horse was sold to a Frenchman or an American at Montreal. The third black stallion Dansereau had was Corbeau. He sold him when ten or twelve to a man named Bistardo, that kept a store at St. Ours, twelve miles from here. He was taller, heavier and larger than the one that pulled, very strong, a pacer and broken to trot. There was about four years difference in their ages. Dansereau raised many more, and sold one mare for six hun- dred dollars. "The first stallion Prive" had was Petit Coq. Petit Coq got Bal- loon. Xavier Dansereau had Commis, a black trotter with star, fifteen and PILOT 261 a half hands. Xavier was a brother to Louis and lived at Vercheres. I do not know the dam of Commis. Xavier moved to St. Jean Baptiste. My father sold an ugly chestnut stallion to Charlebois at Montreal, about forty years ago, got by the Beaudry Horse of St. Marc. Grandfather Dansereau sold a fast chestnut pacing stallion, roach-back, that was vicious, a little larger than the others of the same race. The pulling black stallion men- tioned above was the first horse I knew to be sold from here. I think I was about twenty when it was sold. I was a farmer and lived in Vercheres about a mile from Joseph Dansereau". David La Rose, born i8io,abrother of Jean Baptiste La Rose, remembered this pulling horse and described it as his brother did. Julien Chagnon, Vercheres, born 1807, said: " Louis Dansereau had a very fast black pacing stallion, sold to the States ; think no white ; good neck and crest, nice head ; one of the first race horses in the country ; always won his races. He was sold to an American, I think in the beginning of winter. He was not a very big horse, about fifteen hands high, hind parts square, hind legs straight. He was not cross. He was a good driver, very ambitious in a race, but a man could drive him very easily. I think this sale was about 1830. I think this was the first horse of the kind that Dansereau had, but am not certain. Yes, he was the father of all the Dan- sereaus. I think Dansereau raised him and had him until some eight years old". This was the Vassar Horse. Jerome Dansereau, Montreal, born about 1817, son of Joseph, in an interview taken for us in 1890 by John I. Campbell of Montreal, said: "When I was a boy my uncle, Louis Dansereau, owned a fast black pacing stallion, no white, about fifteen hands high, which he sold when about eight years old to parties that took him to the States. My father, Joseph Dansereau, who was a brother of Louis, also had a black pacing stal- lion, bred by Louis and a get of the first one mentioned, and that was almost exactly like the first one in color and size, and equally as speedy if not faster. My father's was also sold to a stranger and I suppose went to the States. A man who had heard of the first stallion came purposely to buy him, and an agent or private party, supposed to be an American, bought the second. Three or four young stallions followed him from this strain that were also great pacers and some of the breed afterwards became great trotters. All of these horses were known about Vercheres and vicinity as the Danssreau breed and were the first horses owned in Vercheres of any note. " Louis Dansereau trained several of these stallions to pace, and they were all very much alike, black, about fifteen hands high. We always re- marked how much they resembled each other. Louis Dansereau trained the second one, that he kept three or four years after disposing of the first. He bred his mares to his first stallion while he owned him and the second stal- lion was a get of the first and the third of the second, and soon ; he never owned any but what he raised from his first stallion and his descendants, have no recollection of any thoroughbred stallion being owned at Vercheres 262 THE MORGAN HORSE or vicinity. A man by the name of Dodge imported a large white stallion from Europe, a show horse but not a fast one ". We endeavored later in 1892 to have this Mr. Dansereau interviewed again at Montreal, but the interview proved a failure because of his broken health. It will be observed that the Canadians generally designate as "Americans" those who live in the United States. Louis Dupuis of Contre-Cceur, born February i3th, 1798, said : "When I was nine or ten years old my mother married Louis Dansereau. After he married her, and when I was about seventeen or eighteen, he traded with an American at Montreal for a black pacing mare. I was living with him when he got this mare. I lived with htm until I was married, which was when I was twenty-two years old. Dansereau had no fast stallion before he traded for this black pacing mare with the American at Montreal. She was not in foal when he got her, but he bred her to a bay horse, rangy and well built, about fifteen hands high, nine hundred and fifty pounds, that a neighbor, Pierre Fiset, owned, but did not breed, and got a black pacing mare, and from this last black mare he raised first or second a black stallion, that he sold to Vassar, and afterwards other horses that were very noted ; most, if not all of them, fast pacers. This Vassar Horse was killed by a shaft when pacing. There were no fast pacers here before the Dansereau horses. I think the second black pacing mare had a mare colt before she had the horse. Her mother was bred a second time, but died. This mother, or Montreal mare, was all black, and both trotted and paced ; a good mare (s/ne bonne jumenf). The sire of the Vassar Horse was the Duhamel Horse of St Ours, a black pacing horse, fifteen hands high, one of those that were fast at that time. There were not many such. He did not look like the common French horses, but better. I do not know whether Duhamel bred or bought this horse. He was young, five or six years old, when Dansereau bred to him. I think Dansereau bred the first stallion, the one he sold Vassar, when I lived with him. I do not remember of his breeding to any other horse except the Duhamel Horse. I think after he got his first stal- lion he bred to his own stallion. After I married I moved five miles away from where Mr. Dansereau lived, but often visited and worked at his place. A good many mares and colts were brought here from the States and traded ; the mares sometimes in foal. The Duhamel Horse was a fine horse, as fine as the Dansereau horses. La Bonte had a horse, but he was not as good and came later. Duhamel did not keep his horse long; sold him. Du- hamel was then a young man, perhaps twenty-four. His name was Jean Baptiste Duhamel ". In a second interview, Louis Dupuis said : " The mare got at Montreal of an American could trot and pace, an excellent beast. The Fiset Horse that she was bred to, and that was the sire of Louis Dansereau's famous black pacing mare, was a handsome red horse (im joli cheval rouge}, a. trotter, and about the size and shape of your gray mare ", referring to one of the gray pair we were driving, Louise, a handsome daughter of Motion by PILOT 263 Daniel Lambert and a typical Morgan, standing a little over fifteen hands high and weighing about nine hundred and fifty pounds. At still another interview, Mr. Dupuis said : " I think the first foal of Louis Dansereau's young black pacing mare was a bay trotter. Louis Dan- sereau bred about twelve foals from this mare ; not more than three before I was married, February yth, 1820. I am not sure that she had had more than one colt at that time, probably the Vassar Horse. " Louis Dansereau thought that the old black mare that he bought at Montreal was in foal when he got her, but she was not, and he bred her that season to the Fiset Horse and got the black pacing mare. I think this mare was four or five before she had a colt and seven or eight when she had the Vassar Horse by the Duhamel Horse. She had foals every year or every other year. I was nine years old when my father died. My mother married again in 1809 and from that time I lived with my step-father, Louis Dansereau, until my own marriage ; after that I worked for him every year. The old black mare that Mr. Dansereau got in Montreal was all black, large, about fifteen hands high, a very good low heavy mare ; both paced and trotted. The young mare was all black with fine body, taller than her mother, and a much finer mare. Had to have double lines on her to drive her. She carried her head high and had a good breast. The Vassar Horse was so gentle a lady could drive him ; a perfect beauty. Most of the stallions from this mare pulled ; all wanted to go. I was married before I ever went to a race. There were but few horses here that raced when I was young except Dansereau's. He did not race until after he got the pacers. He raced with the young black mare. He went as far as Belceil, St. Hyacinthe, St. Charles. I did not know of Morgan or Dutch horses. I think the Duhamel stallions were the first fast pacers here. The Gravelin Horse of St. Ours was white and red [roan], a pacer, over fifteen hands high, a fine horse. Danse- reau and he had races together. [This must have been with Jeanne d'Arc.] The Duhamel horses were about the same kind ; there were a large number of horses from both. I think I was married the year the Vassar Horse was born. The Fiset Horse was red or bay, fifteen hands high, //// beau cheval, strongly built ; owned by Pierre Fiset, and was five or six years old when the old black pacing mare was bred to him. The black mare bought at Montreal was from the States close by, probably from Vermont". M. Chapdelaine of St. Ours, born 1809, said: "Duhamel had two horses, a black and a gray ; they were pacers. I saw pacers before but not so fast. The black was a good horse, well made. (Le noir ctait un bon cheval Men fait.) He would trot, too ; a good roadster. A man named Le Blanc had some pacers or trotters, about the same time, that came from the Du- hamel Horse. I was twenty-five or thirty years old. The gray Duhamel horse was younger than the black. Recollet of Sorel bought the black one of Allaire, who bought of Duhamel. I might have been fifteen. I remem- ber his pacing on ice and he was the fastest horse here. The Gravelin Horse was older than the Duhamel Horse and fast, but not as fast. He was roan, not higher than the Duhamel Horse, but broader and heavier, with wider 264 THE MORGAN HORSE breast. These horses were handsomer than most horses about. I was twelve years old or younger when Gravelin had his. He sold him to go to St. Francois, below Sorel". M. Allaire, St. Ours, said : " My father sold a horse over sixty years ago to Baptiste Recollet of Sorel. This horse was very fast". An old gentleman of St. Ours, born 1798, whose name we failed to take, said : " M. Allaire sold the Duhamel horse to Recollet. I remember the Gravelin Horse, a pacer and trotter ; he was heavy, with a large chest. When I was fifteen they raced the pacers here on the ice. Michel Guion had a sorrel pacer, that was quite fast, before the Duhamel Horse ; a handsome horse. When I was ten years old I saw them race after church. They paced ; very rarely trotted.. There were not so many English horses as now. I never heard of Narragansetts. There were some roan horses". Mrs. Gravelin of St. Ours, born about 1815, said : "The Duhamel horses were called Dutch. They were very handsome, and fast pacers. I saw both the black and the gray stallion that he owned, and also a horse that Uncle Gravelin owned, which I understood to be Dutch ". Charles Baptiste St. George of St. Ours, born 1797, said: "Duhamel had a fast pacer, before I was married, that he sold to Charles Allaire of St. Ours, who had him quite a while. I was married in 1821. I knew the horse before I was married and knew him when Allaire owned him. Duhamel owned him when I was married. Allaire sold him, I think to some party in the States. He was a black pacer and fast. I think Duhamel raised him, but do not know. Do not often see as pretty a horse as he. He had a gray stallion that was larger than the black, and he both paced and trotted. They had all the mares they could serve ". M. Gravelin of St. Ours, born August 23d, 1806, said: "Duhamel's black horse was sired by the Gascon La Rocque Horse, and his gray one was sired by the black. The Gascon La Rocque Horse was a Dutch horse ; my uncle, Joseph Gravelin, owned him at one time. He was gray or roan, and was about as old as I was. He trotted in the snow, and if the road was good, would pace. When I was four or five years old, mares came from everywhere to him. Duhamel's black horse was got by this roan horse of my uncle's, and I have often heard my uncle say that his horse came from a Dutch or English horse. This horse of my uncle's, or the Gascon La Rocque Horse, was about fifteen and a quarter or fifteen and a half hands high, un grand cheval. La Rocque bought him when a sucking colt of Vital Dupre" of St. Ours, and sold him to my uncle, who kept him until he was seven years old, and sold him to go to the States. The Americans came and got all the good horses. He was built very different from the French horses. French horses made all to once, big belly. Dutch horses handsomer and finer. Duhamel's gray horse was three years younger than his sire, the black. Alex C. Dupre, son of Vital Dupre, is now living at St. Paul, Minn. "This gray or roan horse owned by my uncle was heavier than your gray team (fifteen hands, nine hundred and fifty pounds each), and a little taller; PILOT 265 was three or four years old when my uncle bought him. He was boss all the time he was here. I do not know the horse that sired him. He was four or five years older than Duhamel's black. I do not remember any other roan horses at that time. They used to bring mares here from Vermont and trade them. The dam of the Duhamel Horse was a black pacer". M. Recollet of Sorel said : " My father had a horse once owned by Du- hamel, then by Allaire, who sold father about 1830. Father did not have him over two years. I am sixty years old, and he took me to be baptized with this horse. I do not know the age of the horse. Father sold him to an American. He was a black pacer, fast and very handsome ; folks talk about him yet. I had a grandson of his, black, fifteen and a quarter hands high, that was equally handsome and fast, though not trained. The dam of this sire was of the Dansereau breed and the first mare to trot fast here. The sire was owned at St. Ours. Felix, a Frenchman from the States, bought my horse when eight years old. He was bred to many mares while I owned him. The sire was gray, fifteen hands high, a fast pacer, and got by the Allaire Horse. Mr. Kittson, brother of Commodore Kittson of St. Paul, was with the men that bought the Allaire Horse of my father. He lived here and died about two years ago. Father paid Allaire one hundred and twenty dollars for the horse and sold him to the American for one hundred and fifty dollars". M. Beaupre of Yamaska, born 1816, a gentleman who all his life has dealt in horses, and who sold the celebrated horse Brandywine to go to Maine, said : "Most of the pacers when I was a boy were French. There were not many of them. I knew the Recollet Horse, a very nice fast pacer for that time ; fifteen hands high, one thousand pounds or more. He was a nice, good-looking French horse, not so good as Brandywine. Brandywine was a great trotter. The Recollet Horse had a good shaped neck of fair length. Brandywine had a slimmer neck with long body and a wider breast. The Recollet Horse had a large foretop with heavy mane and tail, good crest, was well cut up under the throat, had a pretty head, not a large head, legs good size, large boned (larger than Brandywine), some white on two of his legs, no white in face, well built, not much hair but some on the legs, //// bon cheval for Canada. Shouldn't think the Dansereau horses descended from him. I raced with one of the Dansereau horses in Burke in 1854 : a black horse, same size as Brandywine, not quite the same shape as the Recollet Horse. The Recollet Horse was more French, chunked ; the Dansereau more like Brandywine. This Dansereau horse I raced with choked and died on the ice at Montreal. The Le Duke Horse was the only stallion from the States that I have known here. He was said to have Arabian blood". At a later interview M. Beaupre said : " They used to have pacing races when I was a boy. Felix Hebert had a red and white pacing horse at Yamaska ; the fastest one there. He was of about twelve hundred pounds weight. This was about the time Recollet had his horse, or when I was about fourteen years old ; Hebert raised this horse. I do not think he was French. He was a good deal like a circus horse ; not so nicely built as Brandy- 266 THE MORGAN HORSE wine. Hebert sold him when twelve years old to an American, for one hun- dred dollars ; the first horse that sold for that price here". M. Duhamel, St. Ours, born 1829, said: "My father was born in 1791, married in 1819, and died 1848. He had a handsome black trotting stallion that he called Pappillon and sold the year before he was married. I think this horse was connected with the Dansereaus, but do not know how. An uncle of mine had a black and a gray stallion that paced very fast. This was later. A daughter of his lives four miles from here. Uncle's stal- lions were of the same blood as the Dansereaus " . Madam Pierre Chapdelaine, born 1808, daughter of Jean Baptiste Du- hamel, and a woman of large means, very noted for her business capacity, and a remarkably intelligent witness, said : " Father had a black and a gray; the first was a black. I am now over eighty-three. I was nine or ten, think not less than ten, when the first horse was born, a good horse, a pretty horse ( un beau cheval, un joli cheval). He had a gray stallion afterwards. He sold this black one to Charlete of St. Ours, who sold to Allaire. He was six or seven years old when sold to Allaire. He was about as big as your gray horse [Squirrel, fifteen hands high, nine hundred and fifty pounds] : dam, black, not quite as large, a fast pacer, which he bought when a little colt of Pappillon of St. Ours, who raised her. She was five or six years old when the horse was born. I do not remember the breed of the horse or the mare. The gray horse was only a little younger, a year or so ; was sold to an American when seven or eight years old. He paced fast and trotted. The gray was called Caesar ; the black, Carillon. The dam of the gray was the same as of the black. I do not remember any other fast pacer. Father had the best ; they had just commenced to race then and father's were the best. They raced the black and the gray together on the river St. Charles, not on the St. Lawrence. I heard of no other races. Colts were raised from these horses when they were very young. I remember that Louis Dan- sereau of Vercheres bred to them. Baptiste Duhamel, a half brother of mine, about my age, lives in Manitoba". Pierre Mandeville, born 1797, said : "I was twenty-four or five years old when I remember the black horse of Duhamel. He was a fast pacer, un joli cheval. I knew Gascon La Rocque, but do not remember his horse. There were not many pacers when I was a boy. Baptiste Lebrun had a mare, and a man named Gravelin had a horse. I do not remember any fast pacers before Duhamel's except these. Gravelin's horse was a pacer, gray, and before the Duhamel horses. I was married when twenty-eight years old. Gravelin had his horse before I married. He was larger than the Duhamel horses ". M. Berthier Lavine, Joliette, Province of Quebec, said : " The Dan- sereau horses that I knew about thirty years ago had dapples on their hips and elsewhere ; when chestnut they were spotted with black". A gentleman of St. Ours, name not remembered, born 1816, said : "Allaire bought the horse of Duhamel about sixty years ago and sold him to Recollet of Sorel. He was from a horse owned by Gravelin. Dansereau PILOT 267 bred a mare to this horse when Duhamel owned him. I do not know what he got. They bred a mare to him when one year old. The dam was a small pacing Canadian mare. He had a gray horse younger ". M. Perrault, St. Paul, near Joliette, born 1825, said : " Joseph Danse- reau had a fast pacer at St. Paul, when I was a boy, a chestnut, very fast. He sold to a stranger ". M. Botman, born 1819, son-in-law of M. Recollet, said : "The Recol- let Horse was a nice, pretty horse ; there was a full brother, a gray horse, but the black was better than the gray. The gray was larger than the other, as fast, but couldn't go as many heats. There was no whip wanted for the black, and he was the handsomest. 1 think the gray came from Duhamel. When I was about twenty-one, Recollet sent a mare to Dansereau's horse, a son, I think, of the first Dansereau Horse. Before I was married Recollet had his black horse, and after I was married he bred a mare to Danse- reau's horse. The first horse Dansereau had was a son of the Recollet Horse. We went to Contre-Cceur with the mare and bred her to Dansereau's horse because my father-in-law said this horse was descended from his old horse ; bred to a horse four years old that spring that paced fast ; black with a little white on end of nose, fifteen and a half hands high or so, nine hundred to one thousand pounds : not very thick, but fine. Recollet's horse was not less than eight years old when he sold him. M. Ambrose Bousset of Sorel owned the gray brother of the Recollet Horse three or four years. He bought him of Duhamel one or two years after Recollet bought his. In a pacing race on ice the black beat him. He sold the gray to an American. His son, Felix Bousset, lives in the States and is about seventy years old. There were no horses at that time that could beat these horses pacing. Black, Men fait, not over fifteen hands high ; gray, larger, heavier, with a coarser hip and straight neck ; crest not so high as black ; one hundred and fifty pounds heavier". Dr> of L' Assomption, a gentleman of means and education, and always fond of horses, especially the thoroughbred, said : " The Dan- sereau horses were fast pacers. I knew one fifty or sixty years ago. He kept him a long time ; sold him when ten years old or so, and I think it was sixty years ago when he sold him. He was a small pony, net very high, fourteen and a half or fifteen hands, blocky, well shaped for a little horse. He was the fastest horse we had in the country. He raced him every win- ter ; always won except one time at Chambly ; won the race then, but lost one heat to a large brown pacer owned by Barsole of Chambly. The race was made by the officers. There was another pacer from St. Scholastique, a little black horse, smaller than Dansereau's ". A gentleman of Contre-Cceur said : "The Dansereau horses were the best in Canada ; all sold to strangers and went to the States. One was sold to Vassar in Chicago forty or fifty years ago : prettiest horse in the Province of Quebec, black, fifteen 'hands high, nice neck, nice head, nice every way, not heavy, well made all over, no white". 268 THE MORGAN HORSE Bellanie La Bonte, born at Vercheres, 1815, now living near St. Hyacinthe, and whose mother married the father of Xavier and Baptiste Prive", said : " My father, Antoine Begiard La Bonte, had a black stallion, when I was a boy, that I think he raised. The horse was about my age. My father lived at Vercheres, where I lived for many years. The dam of the stallion was, I think, a brown mare, fifteen and a half hands high, a pacer that father gave afterwards to an older brother. Father had a work horse beside the stallion, but no other stallion. All these stallions at Vercheres were well-built horses, with small straight ears, une belle tite, nice neck, well cut up, full breast, good legs, smooth hips, round partout, ten hundred pounds. Dansereau's first stallion was'four or five years old when father sold his stallion and I think father's stallion was the sire. The Dansereau Horse resembled father's very much. Dansereau sold his first stallion to Vassar, at Grand Maska. Father's horse going slow would trot, but when fast would pace, the same with Dansereau's. They were the fastest horses about. Dan- sereau drove and worked his horse. I was twelve or fifteen when Dansereau sold his horse. Dansereau raised these stallions right along, all the same color and pattern, pacers. I have been here fifty years ". Bellanie La Bonte in second interview said : " Prive bought a mare of Xavier Tetrault of Vercheres, an ugly mare and a pacer. She had a colt in the spring, which we called Petit Coq, golden sorrel, two white feet behind. He sold him when six years old for fifteen hundred and fifty dollars. Tetrault lived about seven and a half miles from Prive. Chicouagne was a son-in-law of Prive. When I was seven or eight years old my father raised, I think from an English mare that soldiers had, a trotting mare, a little balky (which makes me think she was English, though I do not know her sire), a black pacing stallion, fifteen and a half hands high, no marks, a pretty well built horse. My father swapped him when seven or eight years old to a man named Jourdoin at L'Assomption (La Petite Fannie) for a work horse and some boot. The party that got him drew wood with him and he ran away and was spoilt. He was high-lifed and a puller. Canti came with Jourdoin when he traded with father ; these men were about forty-five years old. The first stallion that Dansereau raised was not ugly. I think a PVenchman bought him of Dansereau. The one father sold would pull very hard ; my mother, who was a large woman, used to help hold him. He had a nice neck, nice mane and tail, not so very heavy. When father swapped him away Danser- eau had his. Dansereau sold his seven or eight years after. He raised colts from this horse. We lived in Contre-Cceur about four and a half miles from Dansereau. Vassar of Grand Maska bought the first Dansereau pacer. Father's horse was a pacer and very fast. I think he got the Dansereau horse that was sold to Vassar. I do not remember any other stallions kept from him. Father's horse and Dansereau's looked very much alike. Father had a line made one and a half inches wide to hold his horse. Tetrault couldn't drive the dam of Petit Coq. She was turned into pasture and got in foal by one of Dansereau's horses ". PILOT 269 M. Dansereau, born 1829, son of Joseph Dansereau, said : " My father raised a black horse with star, that he called Pappillon, which was larger than the puller that he bought of Chicouagne, and three or four years younger. He sold this horse when about four years old to Bistardo of St. Ours, who named him Corbeau, and sold him some years after to an Irishman at Montreal. Jerome Dansereau had a chestnut horse that he sold when about ten years old". This Bistardo Horse, we 'think, was without doubt got by Pilot. M. Kidder, St. Hyacinthe, Province of Quebec, always understood that the Vercheres horses came originally from the United States. We again visited Vercheres, when Isaac Marchessault, born 1830, said : " When I was a boy Louis Dansereau had two stallions at same time ; one was black with a little white on hind leg. One of them went to Quebec. I was ten or twelve when this horse was sold. The mother of both was a very fast pacer that was sold when twenty-five years old to Robert L'Amoureux, and then to Augustus Dussault of Contre-Cceur, who bred a colt from her when she was twenty-six years old, a stallion, black, no white, sixteen hands high, fast pacer, that was sold to an American". Francois La Croix, born 1819, said : "The first stallion that Louis Dan- sereau bred was black. He raised many. They came from all over to buy them. They were all racers and pacers. All the black stallions were from the same mare, but I think from different horses. He had some stallions not black, that I think were from other mares". In another interview, M. La Rose, Vercheres, said : " Dansereau's first stallion was sold to Vassar. La Bonte's horse was black. I don't know where he got him. The La Bonte Horse won several races, but the Le Duke Horse, a white horse, used to often beat him. This Le Duke Horse was owned at St. Jean Baptiste and speeded on the St. Lawrence. I think Le Duke sold him about 1826. Dessaume had one of the Le Duke Horse's get. Louis Dansereau had Commis, black. His old mare was a puller. Fiset got the mare fifty years ago". M. Fiset of Contre-Cceur, born in 1830, said: "Louis Dansereau traded with an American at Montreal for a black pacing mare which was the grandmother of all those good horses. He raised a black pacing mare, say fifteen hands high, from this old mare, and bred many stallions from this last mare. All these colts that I knew about were black. He took the mare once to Langevin of St. Marc, and once to a horse my father had, a bay Canadian trotter. My father bought this second black mare when old for fifty dollars, in foal at the time, and she brought a filly. My father, whose name was Louis Fiset, raised another foal from her, and then sold her to Robert L'Amoureux of Contre-Cceur : he raised a filly from her, then sold her to Joseph Le Bossault, who also raised a filly from her. She was now over twenty-five years old, and was sold again and died the nexi winter at Contre-Coeur. I think my father bought her before I was Dorn. I think Langevin of St. Marc bought the filly that my father bred her. 270 THE MORGAN HORSE " Joseph Dansereau lived about a mile and a half from his brother Louis. The last stallion from the Louis Dansereau black mare was sold to O'Rourke, a horse-dealer at Montreal ; it was bred by Louis Dansereau. This was a very pretty black pacer. O'Rourke could, not speak a word of French. Louis Dansereau died about 1859. Vassar bought one of the Dansereau horses. The fastest horses we had were pacers ". Eusebe St. Onge of Contre-Coeur, born in 1806, said: "I am a nephew of Louis Dansereau. Louis Dansereau traded in Montreal a big farm horse for an old black pacing mare. This mare had a black mare colt, and from this younger mare he raised twelve foals, nine of them stallions. The first fast pacers in this town were bred by Louis Dansereau. I was quite a boy when my uncle Dansereau got this black mare. I remember when drawing hay with my father, when I was a boy, seeing the colt of this American mare. " I remember Chicouagne breaking the colt that he bought of Louis Dan- sereau and afterwards sold to Joseph Dansereau. This colt was hard to drive and very swift. Joseph Dansereau took him to Montreal and sold him. He was black, about fifteen hands, and I think was got by the Vassar Horse. Louis Dansereau afterwards raised another, black with two white feet behind, a little larger, and the fastest horse at Montreal or anywhere. He raced him at Vercheres, St. Hyacinthe, Montreal, Sorel, and all about. I could not tell what his sire was, but think it was one of Dansereau's colts ; he kept breed- ing to his own. I raised two colts from this horse, that I sold to a man at Three Rivers. I sold the mare colt for two hundred dollars, and understood that she was sold for two thousand dollars. She both trotted and paced. I was about forty when I raised these colts. " I remember the Vassar Horse well when he was a colt. I was about twenty I think. I think I was only seven or eight when I first saw a colt of Louis Dansereau's American mare. I think the Vassar Horse was the first of the stallions raised by Dansereau from the black mare. I think the sec- ond was the one sold to Chicouagne and by him to Joseph, sometimes called Ouillett Dansereau, a black horse that was quick, 'vitejVtte, vitc' '. Duhamel of St. Ours (after his marriage) raised a colt from this Joseph Dansereau stallion that both paced and trotted, and that he kept quite a while. Du- hamel afterwards left St. OurG. The Vassar Horse was the first fast pacer that I remember. I was married in 1832, but was unmarried when Joseph Dan- sereau had the black horse. He sold him to an American for what he thought then a large price. I remember the Gravelin Horse, a fine large horse of mixed color. I think I was about twenty. Louis Dansereau had another, after the Vassar Horse, that was called Whitefoot, that was larger than the Vassar Horse, and which he sold to Americans. Dansereau sold one to Fiset, one to Le Bousset, one to Dessond, and one to Giard of Contre- Cceur, now of L'Assomption ". At a second interview M. St. Onge thought the Joseph Dansereau black pacer, bred by Louis, might have been got by the La Bont£ Horse. PILOT 2?I Mrs. Joseph Dansereau, born in 1816 and married in 1833, said : "The pacer was sold to an American about fifty-eight years ago or more. It was before I was married, I should judge about three years. He was black, not very large, awful hard-bitted. The liveryman in Montreal where my hus- band's father put him up thought he made up about his pulling, and under- took to drive him, but gave it up and did not dare to try again. The horse was about five years old when sold. Chicouagne would not sell this horse to M. Dansereau for some reason, so Joseph got some one to buy the horse for him. I lived at Contre-Cceur and used to see this pacer driven by before I was married. My husband had the chestnut horse and Pappillon when I married him, and afterwards had another black horse he called Pappillon. Louis Dansereau had horses at the same time. " I remember the black stallion that M. La Bonte had when I was a little girl. I have ridden to school with him. I do not know what horse was sire of the black puller sold at Montreal, but know that my husband said they had a colt by the La Bonte Horse that got excellent stock. " My husband was called Joseph. He was a son of Joseph, also called Ouillett, a nephew of Louis, and was born in 1812 or 1813. My father-in- law raised the Bistardo Horse from stock that he had, and sold it when about five years old, before I was married. He bred another horse, called Ardent, that died when he owned him. "My husband's father was called Joseph (as well as Ouillett), and he owned the pulling horse ; he bought the horse of Andre Chicouagne of Ver- cheres. Chicouagne bought him when one or two years old of Louis Danse- reau, and paid one hundred dollars for him ; he brought the horse to Joseph Dansereau to keep. My father-in-law (Joseph Dansereau) sold the horse three years before I was married. He could not handle him very well, the horse pulled so hard. " My husband and father-in-law said that La Bonte had a very nice horse, and that they had a very fine bay or coffee-colored horse by this horse, that got a number of very fast pacers and trotters. I saw the first black horse that La Bonte had; it was of medium height, well-built; a pretty horse (un joli cheval] , a trotter. He used to take me to school with him when I was about ten years old. I was born August i3th, 1816". In the fall of 1892 it was thought best to have the most important of the above witnesses again interviewed, especially Mr. Dupuis, and this was done by Philip B. Stewart, with the following results : Louis Dupuis, inter- viewed on December 2d, 1892, said: "I was nine years old when my mother married Louis Dansereau. He had then a stallion ' black as a sloe ', with an immense neck ; I have never seen so large a neck since. He was a big, heavy horse, not fast, but a good road horse, with beautiful legs and feet, very big but straight. He was too high-spirited for a work horse. Louis' father bred the horse, and Louis took a shine to him, so his father told him he could have him if he would take him and take care of him. Louis was twenty-four when he was married and the horse was given to him at that time. He sold him after two years. I was very fond of horses at this age, 272 THE MORGAN HORSE and Louis used to drive me into Montreal with this horse. I remember the father of this horse ; they were as much alike as two peas. The sire was the Renaud Horse, owned at Vercheres by Monsieur Renaud, and was then ten years old. I don't know more than you where the Renaud Horse came from. We had lots of arguments for forty years as to where the Dansereau horses came from, but never came to any conclusion about it. Louis sold this big-necked stallion, when he was young, to a Mr. Cyr of Montreal. I never knew anything of his dam. Louis had one colt left, after selling this stallion to Cyr. This colt amounted to little, and was gelded ; a good work horse, but nothing more. Marcelle, the oldest brother of Louis, bred to the big-necked horse, and ten years after Louis bought of Marcelle a grandson of his original stallion. Marcelle drove this stallion to my wedding. In this intervening time often years Louis had some horses, but they were only fairly good, as good perhaps as the horse bought back from Marcelle. In these years I was with Louis' horses all the time. When I was eighteen or nineteen years old, Louis went to Montreal and traded one of his horses with an American, for an American mare, and gave ten dollars to boot. He left here, and went to Montreal, and met there, in the market-place, the American, with this mare. She was an American mare and apparently in foal. She was not tall, but round-barrelled, not fast ; but very spirited ; never stopped, but always on the move. A very extraordinary mare on the road, and had no equal. I should think she was then about twelve or fourteen years old, very black. Louis became afraid she might not breed because of her age. With this mare was the beginning of Louis' fast stock. Neither Louis nor any of his brothers had owned especially good or fast horses before except the first big-necked stallion. From the first mare Louis raised only one colt, a filly. The morning she was foaling her second foal she died. When Louis made the Montreal trade he supposed the mare to be in foal, and got her for the new blood. After bringing the mare home she was found not in foal and Louis bred her to a horse at Contre-Coeur, owned by a neighbor named Pierre Fiset. This horse was a brown or reddish pacer, and came from Sorel, I think. Fiset had the horse five or six years. No one knows his breeding. He paced in races with the Caribou Horse. This foal was a mare, and never had any equal. She was fast as the wind, and no match could be made with her. She was black, and a pacer. Louis raised a good many colts from her, I think as many as a dozen. He let her out several times, to parties who desired to raise a colt from her, but he always bought her back before she foaled. She was raced a number of years before she was bred, and was perhaps six when she had her first colt ; then was bred to a number of stallions. Her first foal my brother had. It was a filly, and was sired by a red stallion owned at St. Denis by a man named Cagetan. I never saw the sire, but he was called a pretty horse. This filly was a trotter ; with her in three hours I have driven to Longuceil, got my brother, and driven back in three hours more, making sixty miles in six hours. My brother raised a beautiful mare from this filly. I don't know what became of her, and don't know of any other colts raised from her. PILOT 273 This filly was in my brother's possession until she was twenty-three or twenty- four years old, and was then swapped. I think the second foal out of Louis' mare was a filly, too, and went to Fiset. The third was a mare and went to Le Mourier. The fourth was a stallion and went to Laboissiere, together with the dam, and Laboissiere sold the dam to Baptiste Dussaume. The mare then went back to Louis again. Louis then sold her to Craig of Mon- treal. He had her not over six months and brought her back to Louis, tell- ing him she was too strong for him. She was so strong that it took two men to hold her. Louis then raised two stallions from her. The fourth was very black, and at two years was sold to a man named Ross (or Rosque) of Mon- treal, a boxer. This horse was very fast. Louis raised a stallion, black, not very big, out of the old mare, which he sold to a Mr. Vassar of New York. [Then comes the story of his killing by the shaft]. This horse was by the Duhamel Horse. I am certain of this particular thing, because I remember Duhamel told me he did not think the mare was in foal this time. This sire was black, and a pretty one. I never was at DuhameFs house, and don't know whether he had more than one stallion. I think the Vassar Horse was ten years old when sold by Dansereau. The mare had no stallions before him that I know of. He was the only colt that I know by the Duhamel Horse, and out of this mare. I can't tell the year the Vassar Horse was born, but it was after I was married. I was twenty-two, less six days, when mar- ried, and became a widower thirteen years afterward. I was two years a widower, and then married again, and at this second wedding my stepfather came to me with the Vassar Horse (1835). It was several years after that the horse was sold. I never knew of the La Bonte Horse being the father of any of Louis' horses. I had seen pacing races before Dansereau's horses, but the fast racing was after his horses". The old gentleman counts the stallions out of the old mare, Jeanne d' Arc, over his fingers, as follows : " Cle- ment Dansereau had one, Dussaume one, Vassar one, and there was, I am sure, another which I think Louis kept". Eugene Dansereau, Vercheres, born 1832, interviewed October 22d, 1892, said : " I gave all my time to horses when I was young. Louis Dan- sereau's first black stallion was raised by him. Its sire may have been the La Bonte" Horse. The dam I think Louis raised himself. This was about seventy years ago. There were two other stallions raised by Louis, but whether out of the same dam I do not know. One of them had a white leg. His stallions had no names ; were all sold and went to the States. I suppose the other two were by the first horse of Louis. My grandfather told me these things". In interview of December, 1892, Eugene Dansereau further said : " My grandfather was Joseph Dansereau, a brother of Louis. I knew an extraordinary mare owned by Louis. I have seen her. She died of old age when twenty-four years old. I was about ten when I last remember her. She was the mother of Louis' fast ones. She did not breed the last few years of her life. She raised five or six colts to my knowledge, and two of these were stallions. The second was a pacer which Clement, son of Louis, used 274 THE MORGAN HORSE to take around and race, bringing back feathers and prizes. He beat everything. The mother of the Marchand Horse was by this stallion. He was mild tempered and easy to manage ; a child could handle him ; was black. He had him perhaps until he was nine or ten years old. I don't know the father of this horse, but think it was the black stallion owned by my grand- father before. The first stallion from the Louis Dansereau mare was a white-footed horse. He was sold when six or seven. This one was two years older than the other. He was handling this horse in 1837. My grand- father has told me of these early horses many times ". Mrs. Joseph Dansereau, mother of Eugene, interview of December, 1892, said : " Every one was crazy to get this mare of Louis' to breed from. He let her several times, but always got her back again, and she died on his hands in or about 1840. I don't know how many colts were raised from her. My father- in-law, Joseph Dansereau, had a horse very hard to manage. People thought this horse was made to pull on purpose, and M. O'Leary of Boucherville told him so and Joseph told him to get in and he would drive him home from Montreal. After a little Joseph told O'Leary to take the reins. The horse went so that he could't stop him when they reached Boucherville, and they had to go way home to Vercheres. This horse was sold in Mon- treal some time before I was married. He was not old ". Mrs. Jerome Dansereau, Vercheres, who married a nephew of Louis, in interview of October, 1892, said: "I remember Louis having a black fast pacing stallion more than sixty years ago. He raised several stallions, but I do not remember their names. They were all good, fast and handsome horses. I was told when a girl that these horses came from the Dutch or Indian stock. This particular black stallion Louis sold to a man from the States, for two hundred dollars. He was the father of the others. He was sold the winter I was married, which was 1835 ". Camille Dansereau, grandson of Louis, and postmaster at Montreal, says : " I knew my grandfather had the first pacers. When I was six or seven my father had a horse which it took two men to hold when about to race. He was a block of fire. My father, Clement .Dansereau, died seven or eight years ago ". From this testimony, the best we have been able to get from living wit- nesses, the following facts appear : The fastest trotters and pacers bred in Canada, during the early part of this century and as late as 1860, were mostly bred at or near Contre-Coeur and Vercheres, or from stock there bred, and were descendants from the famous mare known as Jeanne d'Arc, bred and owned by Louis Dansereau of Contre-Coeur. This mare was the foal of an American mare that Louis Dansereau traded for at Montreal about 1814, sup- posed to have come from Vermont; and her sire a bay stallion of about fif- teen hands high, nine hundred and fifty pounds, very closely resembling the Morgans, owned by Pierre Fiset, who did not breed him. Jeanne d'Arc herself was a successful race mare at the pacing gait. Louis Dansereau bred from her a number of the most noted of these fast stallions, some of which he PILOT 2?5 sold and others trained and raced with very marked success. Among these was a black colt, foaled 1823 '24 or '25, that he sold when eighteen months old to Andre" Chicouagne, who sold him later to Joseph Dansereau, a brother of Louis, by whom he was taken in 1829 to Montreal and sold to an American for one hundred and fifty dollars. This colt became a black stallion of fifteen hands high and in description is exactly identical with Pilot. He was an exceedingly fast pacer, and a great puller, so that it was difficult to drive him, and it is in evidence that the man who kept him at Montreal was afraid to drive him. We have already shown that in the fall of 1829 Elias Lee Rockwell of Strafford, Connecticut, purchased, for one hundred and fifty dollars, in Montreal, the black stallion Pilot, then about five years old, a very fast pacer and a great puller, so that he was obliged to ride him with pulleys fastened to the saddle, and that one of the men where Pilot was kept at Montreal was afraid to drive him. These descriptive facts, color, size, gait, speed, quality and temper, taken with the price and date of transfer, all in complete accord, when ap- plied to a horse of such extraordinary characteristics that he could hardly be duplicated, make the inference irresistible that they are applied to one and the same animal. The only link of evidence missing is that the parties on one side do not remember the name of the Frenchman who sold the horse, and the parties on the other do not know the name of the American who bought him. This might well have been true had the sale been a recent one, as the parties concerned were entire strangers, of different nationalities, and probably did not understand each other's language ; but when we consider that sixty years had passed before the facts were looked up, that both parties to the transaction and nearly all who knew about it had long been dead, we may well be amazed and gratified at the extent and accuracy of the evidence obtained. At this point we will introduce some contemporaneous evidence regard- ing the fast pacers of Canada, and especially this Dansereau family. It con- sists of extracts from letters written by our old friend George Barnard of Sherbrooke, and published in the New York " Spirit of the Times " nearly or quite fifty years ago. The first is from a letter dated at Sherbrooke, Novem- ber 23d, 1846 : " Sixty miles to the north of this we come into the French country, where the land is occupied by : " ' The low Canadian, swart and mild of mien, In toque, capote, ceinture and moccasin '. " Ten miles further is Grand Maska on the pleasant Yamaska River, navi- gable thus far for sloops, and lined almost throughout its whole length, like other rivers in the French settlements, by neat white cottages accompanied by thatched barns, with here and there substantial stone houses, and at every few miles some elegant buildings cluster about a larger and more costly one with a belfry and spire. " Forty miles up this river at St. Damase was reared the great Moscow, now upon your trotting turf, and who has precisely verified my foretold ex- pectation in showing himself equal to the mile in 2 :28. In my description 276 THE MORGAN HORSE of him, published three years ago in your paper and reprinted the next year when the horse had appeared among you, a misprint occurs thus, 'his loins are not of great length' ; what I wrote was, 'his loins are not of great ap- parent length ; they are not very much developed'. The want of power in these parts is probably what has kept him from signally rivalling Lady Suf- folk ; and it will prevent his ever being the champion of the trotting course. Note ye, I have a runtling stud pony of the same breed as Moscow, his sire being out of Moscow's dam, and inheriting the same true stride in trotting, which has a stout loin and tolerable thigh. " Twelve miles beyond the Yamaska we strike the broad St. Lawrence, a league across at Sorel, where flitting steamboats yield a choice of transit eithei to Montreal or Quebec. The whole of the immense plain stretching far beyond either of these cities, and embracing a tract on both sides of the great river some three hundred miles in length and nearly one hundred broad, is filled with French-Canadians, ' as a nut is with meat', and well peppered with pacing horses ; I say peppered, for their presence forms the seasoning of their owners' life throughout the long cold winters. " The Canadian pacer is probably not thoroughly a descendant of the Norman breed imported by the early settlers. The purest known descend- ants from the original importations are emphatically draft horses, bull-necked and stout of limb. " The ambling pad pony was a favorite riding horse in France under the ancient regime, and perhaps some few cavaliers, et dames et demoiselles, banishing themselves to this dreaded clime, concerning which one of the earlier adventurers wrote home, ' // y'a sept mot d' hiver et cinq de mauvais temps' (seven months winter and five of bad weather), brought over a few luxurious nags, which became a pattern for the more able and ambitious of the bourgeousie. Nearly fifty years ago my father bought Narragansett pacers coming from Rhode Island, and took them in droves to the French country about and beyond Quebec, where they were readily sold or exchanged for the stout native white horses. Fashion and fancy have much to do with a Canadian's fondness for a fast pacer ; and they generally take pains to breed a rattling mare to a grand marcheur, if there be one in the parish. " Yearly, ever since my recollection, the northern residents of the United States have been taking numerous droves of the best Canadian horses, but mostly for draught, and recently the fastest trotters. Few of the pacers have gone, obviously for two reasons : First, the Yankees do not like their gait, and, second, Jean Baptiste does not care to part with his favorite for either clocks or nutmegs. An X will pay expenses of a week's stay in the very heart of the French country, where I have been, upon like errands, a score of times, within as many years, leaining something of the qualities and rates of speed of the best horses, taking note of the choice mares' nests, a point not to be disregarded in selecting a breeding sire. By the time that I can hear from you again there will be sufficient snow for such a trip by sleigh ; and even if the horse be not required before spring, it is now a favor- PILOT 277 able time for commencing such a search. I could name several within a hun- dred miles of here ; but none of them is of the very first water ; they would come under this general description : ' ' The price of the pacer in York might be From one and a half to hundreds three; Proportioned well in height he stands, Fourteen and a half to fifteen hands. ' His color good, a black or gray, A roan or chestnut, brown or bay ; Young, sound and kind— boss never licked him ; At speed, you'd think the devil kicked him'. "Some twenty miles above Sorel, on the very shore of the St. Lawrence, where some peculiar current causes the presence of glare ice in the winter' lives Monsieur Louis Dansereau, who for half his lifetime has possessed a family of black pacers that take to speed at their first harnessing, like young ducks to the water. The old man shows some gay pompons, or ornaments, which have been publicly placed to grace the heads of several of his horses,' in addition to more substantial gratification for himself, at various of our winter races. One of his nags, some ten years since, then a recent winner at Montreal, in 2 .-44, was purchased at two hundred dollars by a Canadian, on his return from Illinois, whither, having gone as a common boatman, he had by industry and judicious purchase of land become independent. The horse was kept two or three years at Grand Maska, before mentioned, where his colts, now at maturity, are great favorites. Poor Pappillon ! He gave me a brisk ride on the ice one Sunday after mass ; but he has gone the way of much good horse flesh. His owner, having returned to Illinois, sent back for the horse, which was duly forwarded as far as Detroit, where the person in charge of him, wishing to gratify some gentlemen with a view of his action, set him to spinning in the street, ran foul of a shaft or the like : " ' And the good steed, his labors o'er, Stretched his stiff limbs to rise no more ! ' " From the "Spirit of the Times," 1841, Vol. XII, page 73: "At the Chambly races on the ice (reported in the ' Spirit' of February 26th) the winner of the pacers' race was Mr. Dansereau's black horse, four years old. Mr. Dansereau's black pacers are well and advantageously known in French Canada. The gentleman obliged me with a relation of their origin as follows : S 3me fifteen or twenty years since he swapped with a Yankee teamster for an old black pacing mare, active but not very fleet. A neigh- bor had procured such another American mare some years before which was with foal, and her colt, being now a horse, was bred to Mr. Dansereau's old mare, whose produce was a pacing filly that took to fast going with very little discipline. This one he has kept and raised from her several fast pacers, some of which after winning prizes he has sold at his stable door for two hundred and two hundred and fifty dollars. His present horse is one of this mare's colts. He has practiced inbreeding in the production of his stock, and the consequence is a continuation of great speed with fine quiet tem- per, without increase of size, though under good stable management, and want of that heartiness to feed which is apt to result from crossing. He has 278 THE MORGAN HORSE a favorite colt out of the same mare which he hopes to make a trotter of renown. He will undoubtedly have speed, but unless supported by a vigor- ous constitution the great exertions for long distances demanded for a trot- ting horse will be apt to mar his prospect of celebrity. "As Mr. Dansereau resides in the race-horse region of Canada, his neighbors, envious of his good fortune, have for many years attempted to raise rivals by breeding their mares to his crack horse for the time. But though the produce make fine ponies, the cross does not operate kindly as to their speed, and the want of increased size in such offspring indicates perhaps a delicate constitution in the parent stock. The horse which won the Chambly pacing match in 2 137, 2 135^, is by estimation fourteen hands three inches high, of a glossy black color with but little white, of light car- cass, trim built, stands high on the legs and in the stable often rests one hind foot on the other. He has a full breast with Morgan shoulders, round barrel, and a pretty muscular croup. His head is neat and delicate, his crest neither high nor low and his neck rather short on the top, which in- clines his nose to poke out ; this, however, may give him facility in breath- ing. His carriage is graceful". From this additional testimony, most fortunately handed down to us and coming from Mr. Dansereau himself, we are able to say with certainty that this famous racing and brood mare Jeanne D'Arc, from which sprung Pilot and the most renowned of the pacing and trotting families of Canada, did not possess a single drop of French blood. She was from an Amer- ican mare, and by an American horse, both of which presumably came from Vermont, and the last of which, judging from his description and the qual- ities that he handed down through this mare, belonged to Vermont's noted family of Morgans. It also appears, from all the testimony gathered, that the horse known as the Gravelin Horse, a Morgan-shaped horse of fine proportions, roan, about fifteen and a half hands high, eleven hundred pounds, foaled the property of Vital Dupre of St. Ours, Province of Quebec, somewhere about 1812 101814, is, with the possible exception of Copperbottom, the earliest progenitor of the great pacing family of Canada of which we have been able to get direct knowl- edge. Without question he got the Duhamel Horse (Carillon), that in turn got the Vassar Horse (Pappillon). The dam of Carillon may have had and probably did have some French blood, but was herself a pacer and therefore undoubtedly inherited pacing blood from the States. This Vassar Horse was owned for many years by Louis Dansereau of Contre-Coeur, and from him cer- tainly descended several others of the Dansereau stallions and a large part of the Vercheres and Contre-Cceur stock. Pilot was foaled 1823, 1824 or 1825. If the Vassar Horse was foaled in 1820, he might have been and probably was the sire of Pilot ; for Jerome Dansereau, son of Joseph, the owner of Pilot, who ought to be the best witness we have on this point, distinctly states that the fast black pacer owned by his father and bred by his uncle Louis was got by the previous fast black pacer owned by Louis. Several PILOT 2?0 other witnesses likewise so thought ; still there is some reason to think that Pilot was the first fast pacing stallion from Jeanne d'Arc and that the Vassar Horse was younger. If this should prove so, we think Pilot was proba- bly got by theGravelin Horse, with which Louis Dansereau raced this mare; for Mr. Dansereau took great pains to breed his mare to the best stallion he could reach, and this Gravelin Horse was unquestionably the best stallion of his day in that locality. It will be noticed that Bellanie La Bonte mentions a black stallion owned by his father, and that he thought Louis Dansereau bred to him and that he was the sire of the Vassar Horse. It is quite possible that Mr. Dan- sereau bred some mare to this La Bonte Horse, but Mr. La Bonte is mistaken in thinking his father's horse was sire of the Yassar Horse. We heard nothing of this La Bonte Horse until he was mentioned by Bellanie La Bonte", and all that we got about him after that was the result of our questions or remarks. That is, when told that B. La Bonte thought one of Dansereau' s fast stallions was got by his father's horse, two or three witnesses said they thought this might be true ; but we have learned to be very suspicious always of evidence that connects some very celebrated horse with some horse owned in a witness' family. We see no good reason to think that this La Bonte Horse was re- lated to Mr. Dansereau's fast pacers, which were probably all descended from the Gravelin Horse. Very large interest therefore centers about this Gravelin Horse. We have not been able to learn whether Vital Dupre bred him, or purchased his dam when in foal, or to ascertain what horse was his sire, but most fortunately some very direct and reliable testimony is handed down about his breeding. This comes from his owner through a nephew, who appeared an exception- ally truthful and intelligent witness. It came to us in a most unexpected manner, not as the result of any question or suggestion, and was sustained by the testimony of Madame Gravelin of St. Ours, and we believe can be re- ceived so far as it goes with absolute confidence. The testimony was that this Gravelin Horse was of Dutch or English descent, and, taken in con- nection with the time and locality and the shape and quality of the Gravelin Horse, points very significantly to a Morgan origin ; for at this time both in Vermont and Canada the Morgan was called Dutch, and, if not Dutch, English. (See advertisements under Weasel, Hawkins Horse and Sherman Morgan in this volume.) It is possible from their descriptions and the time in which each lived that the Gravelin Horse and the original Tom Hal are identical. As we have suggested, there is no history of any so early Canadian Pacing sire as the Gravelin Horse, except Copperbottom. Copperbottom was born in 1809 and was owned, probably as late as 1815, at Bolton, Canada, less than sixty miles from the place where the Gravelin Horse was foaled. The year the Gravelin Horse was born is not accurately known, but, as has been suggested, it was probably about 1812-14, which would make it very possible that Copperbottom was his sire. There is no reason to think 28o THE MORGAN HORSE so except the very strong probability that these pacers all came from one stock. If they did so come, the Gravelin Horse was probably by Copper- bottom, or by the horse that got Copperbottom, and Copperbottom, or his sire, might well have been by the original Justin Morgan. But however this may be, we may be reasonably sure that the Morgan qualities so marked in the Canadian pacer and trotter, existed there because of his, in part, Morgan origin ; and that the great influence of the Province of Quebec Pacer, or Dansereau breed of horses, on the breeding of the fast American trotter and pacer, is only another phase of the very great and very widely spread influence upon American breeding, known to have emanated from the Morgan horse. XVI PILOT JR., BAYARD PILOT JR., gray, fifteen and a half hands high, was bred by Lugerean Gray, Graybolt, Jefferson county, Kentucky, got by Pilot, and foaled the property of John T. Gray of the same place in 1844 : dam, Young Nancy Taylor, gray, foaled 1825 or 1826, bred by William Pope, Kentucky, got by Funk's Havoc, said to be a son of Sir Charles ; second dam, Nancy Taylor, an elegant gray saddle mare purchased by Mr. Pope, it is said in Bullitt county, Kentucky, said to be by Alfred. Sold to D. Heinsohn, Louisville, Kentucky, 1848; to R. A. Alexander, 1858, whose property he died at Aurora, Illinois, April i4th, 1865, of apoplexy. The pedigree of dam, as given above, is well sustained by the evidence. The first advertisement of this horse that we found in looking through the Lexington newspapers was by \V. J. Bradley, in the " Kentucky States- man "of 1853, and is as follows : " The celebrated trotting stallion, Pilot Jr., will stand the ensuing season at the stable of James L. Bradley, three miles and a half north of Lexing- ton, Kentucky, near Sandersville, at ten dollars the season. " Pedigree : Pilot Jr. was got by the celebrated Canadian horse, Pilot, out of Young Nancy Taylor, out of old Nancy Taylor. Old Nancy Taylor produced several colts by old Pilot, all of which went fast ; several sold at high prices. Bear Grass sold for one thousand dollars. Young Nancy Tay- lor produced Pope and Pilot Jr. ; the former trotted his mile in 2 135 and could pace in 2 140. Pilot Jr. will answer for himself in regard to speed. " Performance : Pilot Jr. had a short training at five years old and trotted two matches, both of which he won easily; the first match for three hundred dollars, beating Mr. S. Deyes' black gelding, and the second Mr. Duncan's Gray Pilot horse, Dick, for two hundred and fifty dollars. . At six years old he was trained again and won the stallion stake at Louisville, two- mile heats, three entries, and went in the four-mile race against the noted horses O'Blennis and Murdock, his owner winning large sums on his beating the latter. O'Blennis (Neddy) won the race, which was the second best four- mile trot on record, one heat being done in n :i6. O'Blennis has since sold for three thousand five hundred dollars and Murdock for two thousand five hundred dollars. " Description : Pilot Jr. is a beautiful dapple gray, fifteen and a half 282 THE MORGAN HORSE hands high, with a great deal of style, substance and strength. His colts are large and promising. Pilot Jr. will go into a harness stake with any stallion who may make the season in Kentucky this year, and will be matched against any such for five hundred dollars a side, two-mile heats in harness. W. J. BRADLEY ". In 1854 Mr. Bradley again advertises the horse : " The celebrated trotting stallion, Pilot Jr., will stand the ensuing season at the stable of James L. Bradley, three miles and a half north of Lexington, near Sandersville, at twelve dollars the season, and twenty dollars to insure a mare in foal, etc. " Description : Pilot Jr. is ten ye*ars old this coming spring ; in color is a beautiful dapple gray ; fifteen and a half hands high ; and for style, ac- tion and speed will show for himself. We all know what he has done and what he can do again if required. " Pedigree : Pilot Jr. was got by the celebrated trotting and pacing horse Pilot, who was known to be the best breeder and the best horse of his kind ever imported. Nancy Taylor, the dam of Pilot Jr., was got by Cad- mus, who was by Sir Archy ; his grandam, old Nancy Taylor, was by Alfred, and he by Medley. WM. J. BRADLEY". It will be perceived that in the first advertisement no pedigree is given for either Young Nancy Taylor (Nancy Pope) or her dam, Nancy Taylor. The next year it is stated that Young Nancy Taylor was by Cadmus, son of Sir Archy, and Nancy Taylor by Alfred. Later, when the horse was sold to Mr. Alexander, Young Nancy Taylor or Nancy Pope was said to be by Havoc, son of Sir Archy. This would suggest that when the first adver- tisement was made in 1853 nothing was known of the pedigree of the dam. Before the horse was advertised in 1854 inquiry had been made which re- sulted in the statement that she was by Cadmus, a son of Sir Archy, and her dam by Alfred. Later it would appear that further search had shown that the horse that got the mare was Havoc instea'd of Cadmus. The very fact that an error had been corrected tends to show that the pedigree was given in good faith and that an effort was made to prove it. At this time it would have been very possible to have got both the true breeding of Nancy 'Pope and her dam, Nancy Taylor. It appears further that a horse Havoc, said to be a son of Sir Charles, was owned by Peter Funk, a neighbor of William H. Pope, from about 1824 to 1828. It also appears (see letter of Charles Anderson given below) that William H. Pope had in 1828 a gray filly, daughter of Nancy Taylor. The possibility, then, of this pedigree being established, we think it fair to assume that it was honestly given by Mr. Bradley to Mr. Alexander, and is reasonably correct, though Havoc's sire may have been incorrectly stated. C. W. Kennedy, Montgomery, Alabama, who at one time owned a half interest in Pilot Jr., said : "Pilot Jr.'s dam was a blooded mare. We knew it. I knew Mr. Funk well ; he had two blooded stallions ; there was never a question raised at the time about Pilot Jr.'s dam being a blooded mare. I PILOT JR. 2g3 sold my half of Pilot Jr. to Heinsohn. He sold to Dr. Herr, I think, for eleven hundred dollars, and Dr. Herr sold same day to Mr. Alexander for one thousand dollars in advance. Pilot Jr. was a trotter, and I think could trot in 2 135 ". The following paper concerning the pedigree of Pilot Jr. was on file at Woodburn Farm, Kentucky, as early as 1858 : " PEDIGREE OF PILOT JR. "Pilot Jr. was sired by Heinsohn & Poe's celebrated stallion, Pilot, dam Nancy Pope, by Havoc ; he by Sir Archy ; grandam Nancy Taylor, by imported Alfred. This is the pedigree given him by Mr. Pope, who owned the dam and grandam of Pilot Jr". At the time this letter was written Mr. Pope was in the employ of Heinsohn & Co., and though he may have been mistaken in the pedigrees of Havoc and Alfred, he must have known what horse got Nancy Pope, bred by him. Mr. Bates, who bred to Havoc, left a memorandum stating that he was by Sir Charles, son of Sir Archy. The following letter is from John Funk, son of Peter Funk who owned Havoc : HENDERSON, KY., Dec. 20th, 1878. Mr. R. S. VEECH, Louisville, Ky., Dear Sir: Your favor of i6th to hand and contents fully noted. I gave you in my last as near the particulars regarding Havoc as I could. Havoc was undoubtedly thoroughbred, on one side closely descended from Diomed, on the other side Buzzard. My father did not breed him, but pur- chased him. He never disposed of him, but he was poisoned and died on his place about the year 1827, as my mother says he died while they lived in the old house, before the brick house, now on the place, was built. Yours truly, JOHN FUNK. At another time Mr. Funk wrote : " Havoc was a very dark chestnut ; was purchased by my father while on a trip to Philadelphia, and he lived three or four years, when he was poisoned". A horse called Havoc, probably this horse, is advertised at Lexington, Kentucky, 1827, described as bay, sixteen hands, and thoroughbred. A memorandum made by a gentleman in Louisville, who bred to this horse, states that his dam was the celebrated mare Priestly, by Chanticleer, son of Symme's Wildair. In this memorandum no mention is made of the sire. Chanticleer by Symmes' Wildair is said to have been bred by Dr. A. T. Dix- on, Charles City, Virginia ; dam by imported Pantaloon ; second clam by Bur- well's Traveler ; third dam by Mark Antony ; fourth dam by imported Aristotle ; fifth dam Young Bonny Lass, by imported Jolly Roger; sixth dam imported Bonny Lass. We add the following interesting letter of Hon. Charles Anderson of Kentucky. It is dated at Kuttawa, Lyon county, Kentucky, March 6th, 1879, addressed to J. H. Wallace, New York, and first appeared in "Wallace's Monthly, " April, 1879 : 284 THE MORGAN HORSE " DEAR SIR : I had but three days ago written to Mr. Brodhead himself an infinite deal of nothing about the pedigree of Pilot Jr. when lo, here is your letter of March 3d calling for more. The subject itself has always been to me a matter of indifference, whether as a scientific or propriety question, but my nephew, the late Richard A. Anderson of Dayton, Ohio, (probably on account of his neighborly friendship for Mr. R. A. Alexander) pressed me (as it seems) into the controversy. And now I find, to my sur- prise, that some casual conversations of mine, long ago and entirely forgotten by me, have been construed into an authority for facts and opinions, some of which I never knew, and one of which (I am certain) is not true. Of course, I readily perceive that such misunderstanding and consequent misrepresent- ation of my ' horse talk ' is entirely honest and frank. The spirit of par- tisanship in such disputes and the confusion of what the speaker stated for himself or reported for others, or, yet more, the confounding of one Ander- son's memories or additions for those of another, will quite sufficiently account for this mistake, at this time, as to my share in these contributions to the 'truth of history'. " As to your case. I find, from the number of your ' Monthly ' which you sent me, that you have already gathered a 'cloud of witnesses', which, whether as to intelligence or moral character, was never before probably equalled in such a controversy. Their opportunities of knowing the facts are also unusually good. I know them all intimately, and must say (in compliment to impartial diligence) that I cannot set up my testimony against theirs in a case where their special opportunities are equal to mine. There are additional reasons why I would gladly stay out of this question. But it so chances that accident or the necessities of your case have driven you into a position which involves the integrity of a very old and dear friend of mine (the late Major P. Funk) and I cannot feel it right, tolerable indeed, to permit my ' old Beargrass friends ' and kinsfolk or yourself, even inadvertently, to state or to imply facts which so cruelly misrepresent him. As far as I am concerned, the reminiscences of my friends, Speed, Pearce and Gray, as well as your 'pet theory' of breeding must alike go down before my confidence in the simple honesty of Major Funk in these trans- actions. This is my main motive to this reply ; to respond to a call from my especial friend, Andrew Steele, and to correct the misunderstandings of my former and forgotten statements, are my lesser purposes. " I know very little of this controversy. As it seems to me, it is only the accidental status of your present discussion which gives the least significance or interest to my knowledge. " Our neighbor, Major Funk, one and a half miles off, in or about the year 1822, became infected with a violent passion, if not mania, for racing and for breeding race horses. He was alone in this taste or enterprise of all the citizens of Jefferson county of that time. He bought some stock, laid out a race track, built stables, etc., and gathered such a crowd of stallions, mares, keepers, trainers, riders and other attendant persons and things that PILOT JR. 285 his new enterprise became, with different minds of the neighborhood, a cause of surprise, regret and derision. I do not know or believe that any other man in the county had a thoroughbred of either sex. I am sure Mr. Funk then had (as far as he knew) no other sorts for breeding. These appear to me to be important items in this question, as it stands. " Amongst these stallions in training or standing, there were Stockholder, Archer (also by Sir Archy) ; Sea Serpent, by Shylock (I believe) ; Conqueror, Whip Tiger, with other less distinguished juveniles, and, at a somewhat later date perhaps, Havoc, the horse in dispute. I could, if I were not ' to inquire too curiously ', give you also the names of sundry mares, fillies and colts then assembled there. "I remember Havoc very distinctly, more so than if I had seen him last year. He was not a bay, but a chestnut (or 'sorrel', as the color was then called). Nor was he as dark or dull-colored as Wagner was, but a bright yellowish sorrel. As to size, he was of the medium size and shape of thor- oughbreds ; I think about of such proportions as Sir Archy or Sir Charles may have been, guessing by their pictures in the old 'Turf Register'. There never was any large bay horse called Havoc owned by Peter Funk. Be assured of that fact. On this point I must stand up for my own superi- ority 'of opportunities' to your other ' Beargrass boys'. Major Funk's race course was entirely out of their beat. The Speed boys were good and did not habituate such places. And although Ned Pearce and John Gray (like the writer) were certainly 'fast' enough for any deviltry of that sort, yet I have no idea that either of them ever saw Stockholder or Havoc (any Havoc) in their lives. What, then, could either of them know of his size or color. " He was reputed to be by Sir Charles. As I have almost ever since kept my knowledge of pedigrees refreshed by reading in the ' American Turf Reg- ister', etc., I am now unable to say whether «//y part of his remaining pedi- gree (by Sir Alfred, Virgo, by imported Peter Teazle, Castianira, etc.) be a matter of memory derived from the reputation of the neighborhood or from subsequent studies. But I think the reputed pedigree then was Havoc, by Sir Charles, dam by Sir Alfred. I am quite sure, though, it was Havoc by Sir Charles. Remembering now that I never in my life heard one word in dis- paragement of the integrity or honor of Major Funk (unless the deplorings of the ' unco-righteous ' of this race-horse business maybe construed into such impeachment) do you not see in what a light your present proposition must appear? We are required to believe that such a man would bring, from 'a trip to Philadelphia', a farm horse of unknown breeding, 'a large bay horse ', and palm him off as a thoroughbred ' Havoc, by Sir Charles, Sir Alfred', and in a county, too, in which his forged pedigree (if believed) would have not added one cent to his custom. If, therefore, Mr. Pope did send Nancy Taylor to Mr. Funk's Havoc (as your witnesses affirm), he must certainly have sent her to the chestnut horse Havoc, by Sir Charles, Sir Alfred. Nor will it be pretended that, at that time, when no portion of this interest (which now lies in the pedigree of Pilot Jr.) had attached to this 286 THE MORGAN HORSE simple transaction, any of these neighbors' boys were likely to have known any facts to outweigh these truths and probabilities. " Of the actual breeding of Nancy Pope (the pedigree in question) I know nothing. All I do know or surmise of its connections is as follows : My eldest living brother, Larry Anderson, then, through my father's death, * in loco parentis"1 to me, in June, 1828, married Miss Ann Pope, the only daughter of Mr. William Pope, who owned these mares. Sometime previ- ously I had become intimate with his boys, though I had known the family all my life. The families had been close friends since the period when Louisville was St. Nelson. And, from the time of that marriage, as long as his family occupied the farm, I was as much ' at home ' there as one of his own children almost. Now, at the period of the wedding (certainly a marked occasion and date to me) I well remember a gray filly there out of" Nancy Taylor. She was two or three years old. She was a dark, but bluish gray. I doubt if I am as good a judge of a horse as my friend and kinsman, Edmund Pearce. Still, although I remember her as larger than her dam, I could never consider her as ' coarse ', in the sense of a likeness to ' large farm horses ', nor as being out of the proportions of thoroughbreds. I cer- tainly did not and do not suppose her to have been thoroughbred. (In your advertisement of Almont, she is 'said to be strictly thoroughbred'). I only mean to say that I have seen a great many true thoroughbreds, especially in England, which were both larger and coarser than this gray filly of 1828. But, 'Mr. Pearce is positive in his assertion that about 1831 Mr. Pope bred Nancy Taylor to a farm stallion, and the produce was a filly larger and coarser than her dam, that afterwards was called Nancy Pope, and became the dam of Pilot Jr'. Now, if there be no mistake here, the question is settled without appeal. But is there no mistake ? I repeat that I am sure that Mr. Pope had a gray filly out of Nancy Taylor, in 1828, which he pre- sented to my brother Larry, and that he sent for a- while to pasture at Soldier's Retreat, where I was living (the only son) with my mother.

Granite State Morgan From "Morgan Horses" Morgan Comet (Ives'), by Royal Morgan From " Morgan Horses " Vermont (Peters') From "Morgan Horses" Cornel From "Morgan Horses XVII DESCENDANTS OF SHERMAN MORGAN This and chapters immediately following include all known sons of Sher man, Bulrush and Woodbury Morgan, and the more noted stallions among their descendants, arranged by families. The choice of descendants is necessarily somewhat arbitrary, but, as all will appear in Volume II., this is not impor- tant. It has been found impracticable to include all in one volume. BILLY ROOT One of the most interesting sons of Sherman Morgan was Billy Root. We remember years ago at Sheldon, in Franklin county, Vermont, seeing a stallion of the family, small, but of wonderful strength, activity and finish. Such, we understand, is the general character of the family, and we can well appreciate the high esteem in which it has always been held. The stock in Vermont has been mostly found in Caledonia and Franklin counties. It also extended across the line into Canada and quite a number of the sons of Billy Root were taken West. Billy Root or Comet (also called Red Bird) was a dark chestnut with a few white hairs in forehead and a little white on off hind foot ; he weighed 942 pounds, was bred by Hezekiah Martin, St. Johnsbury, Vt.,got by Sher- man Morgan and foaled in 1829. His dam was a fine driver of about 1000 pounds, said to be by a small horse that Matthew Allen brought from Mon- treal ; and his second dam by the original Justin Morgan. Linsley says : " His dam was a half French mare, sired by Justin Mor- gan". This is changed principally on the authority of the following certifi- cate of the breeder of Billy Root: "This is to certify that the Root horse was raised by me, and was sired by the Sherman Morgan horse ; and the Sherman horse and the grandmother of the Root horse were sired by the old Morgan horse. HEZEKIAH MARTIN. St. Johnsbury, July 27th, 1885". Billy Root was sold, in 1831 or '32, to Eldad Root, who kept him in New York, it is thought at Genesee Plats, and several years in Lyndon, Vt., and about'i838 took him to Highgate, Franklin county, Vt., where he re- mained four years, standing at Highgate and Franklin, Vt., and at Bedford, P.Q., and neighboring towns. About 1841 Mr. Root sold him to Mr. Stevens, 292 THE MORGAN HORSE St. Johnsbury, Vt., who used him hard a year and sold him to Mr. Filer, Burke, Vt., who soon traded him to Eleazer Smith, Haverhill, N. H., and he a few months later in the spring traded him back to Filer, who took him in the summer or fall of 1845 to Springfield, Mass., and sold him to some one who took him to Warehouse Point. That autumn he was traded to a man in Sharon, Conn. April 1 8th, 1847, Messrs. Bemis and Hoyt brought him back to Lyndon, where he was kept 1847, '48 and '49 at Hoyt's stable. In 1850 he was kept again at Highgate, and 1851 at Lyndon. He died very suddenly, April 25th, 1852. His death was supposed to be caused by the rupture of a blood vessel. He was a horse of extraordinary life, energy and action. His stock are small, but have become widely and justly celebrated for spirit, action, endurance and durability. Mr. Linsley, from whom the above account is largely taken, says : " The hair on his body was rather long, but soft and silky ; he had but few long hairs on his legs, and had excellent feet". W. H. Hoyt of Lyndonville, Vt., says : " I tended Billy Root for six years and in that time bred him to 600 mares, three-quarters of which he got in foal. I never saw so handsome a horse as he ; never saw him make a false step. Abner Howland, Brookfield, Mass., bought many of his colts". Mr. E. J. Dole, Danville, Vt., a very intelligent horseman, says : "He was very stylish and a fine goer". Mr. Benjamin Hibbard, who took care of Billy Root the winter before he was four, says : " Three different times the dam of Billy Root was driven from Portland, Me., to St. Johnsbury, 120 miles, in one day. Billy Root was her only foal. She was sold to a man in Brattleboro, Vt. In harness she was right up on the bit all the time".

She was the grandam of Goff's Comet.) Sold, 1844, to Silas Robinson, North Hammond, N. Y., who sold, 1850, to Benjamin F. Pope, Elkhorn, Wis.

Son of Billy Root, was foaled 1850; he was dapple bay with black points; stood 15 hands and weighed 950 pounds; bred (it is thought) by John Oilman of Lyndon, Vt. ; his dam was said to be by Sherman Morgan. Red Jacket was purchased when a colt at Lyndon, Vt., by James Timony of Castleton, Vt., who had him about a year and sold him, winter of 1854 or 1855, to C.M. Willard, then of Castleton, Vt. Mr. Willard also kept him about a year, named him Red Jacket, and sold him to Wm. Thompson, who took him to Mercer county, Ky., and he was kept at Harrodsburgh, that county, two or three seasons in charge of A. C. Passmore. 3oo THE MORGAN HORSE C. M. Willard, now of -Brandon, Vt., writes : "He was compactly built with handsome head and neck, short ears and broad between the eyes, very intelligent and docile, altogether a typical Morgan horse. I named him Red Jacket. The party to whom I sold him, a medium-sized, plain, quiet man of about 35 or 40 years, whose name I am quite confident was Thompson, had been for a long time in search of a pure Morgan stal- lion to take to Kentucky. He got track of Red Jacket, was highly pleased with him and took him home. He was not speedy, about four minutes only". In another letter Mr. Willard says : " He was solid and blocky in struc- ture, thick and well arched neck, small head and ears, large and intelligent eyes, well apart ; quiet and gentle in disposition, a perfect type of a business horse* His stock good and much like himself. " Crit Davis, Harrodsburg, Kentucky, writes : " I remember Red Jacket well. He was a fine bay horse, about fifteen hands, very stylish ; I do not remember whether he had any marks". Mr. B. J. Treacy, the well-known Kentucky breeder, says : "Red Jack- et was a very handsome, good gaited trotter, and, being taken to Kentucky before trotting was established, was used for siring fancy roadsters. His daughters have done much for the speed of the trotters in Kentucky". Sire of Dam oi : Kentucky Wilkes 2 :2i%. Second dams of: George C. 2 :28% : Sonnett 2 :24% So So 2 :i9%.

ROYAL MORGAN (MORGAN RATTLER) Dark bay with small star, black legs, mane and tail, 13^ hands, 1000 pounds; bred by Mr. Aldrich, St. Johnsbury, Vt. ; foaled 1821 or 1824; got by Sherman Morgan: dam dark bay, known as the Aldrich mare, got by Justin Morgan. Mr. Linsley, from whose work this pedigree is DESCENDANTS CF SHERMAN MORGAN 305 taken, says (page 309) of the dam: "She was a dark bay of remarkably compact form, with great powers of endurance". Of Royal Morgan he says : " It has been said that he was not sired by Sherman but by the Batch- elder Horse. We have taken some pains to satisfy ourselves on this point and have stated his pedigree according to our convictions. The facts seem to be that the dam of Royal Morgan was coupled with the Batchelder Horse early in the spring of 1820, but the following July, the mare not proving in foal, Mr. Aldrich sent her to Sherman, and the following year paid for the services of the latter horse. Mr. Aldrich sold him when a colt [probably to Alvin Flint], and he was taken to Maine, where he was known as Morgan Rattler. In 1829 he was taken to Derby, Vt., [and purchased by Messrs. Chamberlain and Brackett, Lyndon, Vt., for $400]. A few years after this he became the property of Reuben Crane, tavern keeper [Derby Centre], who owned him several years. The administrator of Crane's estate sold the horse [in 1843] to Solomon Steele of Derby Line, Vt. In 1847, Mr. Steele, having a good offer for him, was about selling him, when Portus Baxter and Dr. L. Richmond of Derby organized a stock company, of which Mr. Steele was president, and the horse was kept by him". He was also owned by a Mr. Newton of Lyndon, who probably bought of Chamberlain and sold to Crane. About 1852 he was bought by William Baxter of Barton, Vt., by whom he was owned till the winter of 1857-58; then sold to Mr. Bean, Glover, Vt. ; then to John Gregory, Xorthfield, Vt., whose property he died in November, 1858, from getting cast in his stable. He was exhibited at the State fair in Burlington in 1858, being then 37 (or 34) years old, but still vigorous. His portrait appears in the "Vermont Stock Journal" (edited by D. C. Linsley) of August, 1858, with a letter dated June 12, 1858. from John Gregory, in which he says: "I am informed that he got from nine to twelve colts the past year and a few more the year previous. I am in hopes to get a few colts from him this season ". Under the picture is " Royal Morgan, or Crane Horse : Thirty-seven years old. The oldest stallion now living ". It appears from Thompson's " Maine-Bred Horses" that he was brought to Maine when a colt and kept there till 1829, when he WPS taken to Derby, Vt. If this latter date is correct, and Mr. Steele in the follow- ing letter is correct as to the horse's being five years old when he first saw him at Derby, then the horse was 34 instead of 37 when he died. Joseph Gregory, son of John Gregory, writes from Williamstown, Vt., May 21, 1889: "He got no colts the last year, but was all horse. The day be- fore he died he jumped over a stone wall three feet high to get in with other horses". In a letter to the "Spirit of the Times " in 1859, Solomon Steele writes : The first time I ever saw Royal Morgan was at Derby Line, Vt., when ne was five years old. He was then owned by Messrs. Chamberlain & Chase of Lyndon, Vt. Having seen the original Justin Morgan, I then regarded him as nearly a fac-simile of that horse. This circumstance is easily accounted for when we consider that Royal Morgan was a grandson of old Justin on the side of both his sire and dam. At this time he possessed a greater com- bination (in my judgment) of good points than I had ever seen many other 3o6 THE MORGAN HORSE horse, that is, a horse for all work. His head, ear and eye were excellent, and every other point fully equal to Mr. Linsley's account, with all the important muscles much larger than I have ever seen upon any other horse of his size except old Justin. Throughout his long life as a stock horse want of size and height were the only objections ever raised against him among men of good taste and judgment. Until he was about ten years old his stock had ob- tained no special notoriety, and himself only noted as an animal of great beauty with extraordinary power of endurance and strength as a horse of all work. Consequently whenever an act was to be done requiring the great- est strength and speed and endurance, this same little horse was selected. About this time he became the property of Reuben Crane of Derby, who kept him till he (Crane) died, and I purchased him of his estate in 1843 and kept him till '53. In early life his services as a stock horse were quite limited ; when Crane had him I think he was bred to about 50 mares each season. When I purchased him, although then more than 20 years old, he had all the ex- ternal appearance of a colt. His greatest weight was in July, 1844; he then weighed 1040 pounds, and his reputation was such as to command all the -business I desired. One year he covered 114 mares in three months. During all these years he was seldom in harness except for exercise. He had all the oats he would readily eat from April to September; and from Septem- ber to November he was limited to four quarts per day. During the winter he got no grain, but occasionally a feed of carrots, etc. I kept him in a warm box stable in winter, with an open yard attached for exercise, and a box stable well ventilated in summer. I bled him every spring, but never gave him any cathartic medicines, and during the whole time I owned him I never knew him indisposed in health for a single moment. He had a quarter crack in one front hoof, which sometimes lamed him for a day after shoeing ; with that exception, he was never lame, and up to the day of his death his limbs were perfectly free from blemish and in every respect perfectly sound. He was probably the most sure foal-getter ever known in this State. During the season of '58 he covered two mares, and one of them has produced a colt since his death. The most important matter in relation to this horse which remains to be mentioned is the general character of his stock. The first season he stood in this county for the use of mares was when he was five years old. This being before the days of railroads, large horses were all the rage. It turned out, however, at the close of the season, that 12 men in all his vicinity had been so unwise as to each breed one mare to the little Morgan. Eleven proved in foal. Eight horse colts and three mares were produced. The horse colts were all gelded at two years old, and were all subsequently sold in Boston at an average of $321.50 each, one being sold to an English nobleman for $1000, and shipped to Liverpool. The prices at that time were more than double that obtained for an equal number of any other horse's get of that year in the country. At this time we know of more than 50 stock horses of his get which are mostly gone to the Western States at a cost to their owners of more than $1000 each ; yet it is not claimed by any one that the style and speed on the track of his stock is equal to that of old Black Hawk, Green Mountain Morgan and perhaps some others. But we do say, and that without fear of successful contradiction, that for style, strength, docility, speed as roadsters and endurance, all combined, the stock of Royal Morgan compares with that of any other horse ever owned in Vermont. It is, moreover, but fair, in discussing the subject, to keep in mind that while the services of Black Hawk were held at $100 the mare, no more than $10 was ever claimed for the like service of Royal Morgan; hence we may fairly infer that the mares coupled with Black Hawk were those selected from the best in America, while those sent to the cheap horse were mostly White ll lliver Valley, Graiiville, Vermont Morgan Tiger (Finley's) .

FLINT MORGAN (PROTECTION) Dark chestnut, 15 hands, 1050 pounds; foaled 1823; bred by John Bolton, Danville, Vt. ; got by Sherman Morgan : dam said to be a Morgan mare. (See John Bellows' advt. below.) Sold to George Barker, St. Johns- bury, Vt. ; Jonas Flint; John Bellows (then owner of Sherman Morgan), March 3, 1830, as appears by this bill of sale of that date, now in possession of Mr. S. W. Parlin of Boston, as is also the stud bill given below : " One stud horse, Young Morgan, six years old last spring, which I war- rant sound except a crack in one of his fore feet, at $350. Received cash $100 ; note in one year signed by John Bellows and Josiah Bellows 2d for $100; note due in 18 months for$i5o — $350. JONAS FLINT". John Bellows apparently kept him until the spring of 1846, and sold him back to Jonas Flint, as he is advertised that spring in the Danville "North Star" as follows : " The subscriber has purchased of Mr. J. Bellows the Flint Morgan Horse, formerly known in this vicinity as the Bolton Colt. Will stand at Danville, St. Johnsbury and Lyndon, Vt. JONAS FLINT". The following is from John Bellows' stud bill for 1836 : "Flint Morgan is a beautiful chestnut, stands 15 hands, now n years old; was got by old Sherman Morgan, and from his appearance, size, matchless strength and per- formance, coupled with the fame of the stock and blood of his dam (who was a descendant of the old Goss Morgan), justifies the assertion that he presents a fairer prospect than any horse now extant of perpetuating the fame of his illustrious sire ". In 1831 John Bellows kept Flint Morgan in the vicinity of Dover, N. H. ; he kept him at other towns in New Hampshire other seasons, including one or more at Sandwich. Linsley states that he died at St. Johnsbury, but Stephen French, who owned his son Napoleon Morgan, thought that he died in Illinois. Hon. T. S. Long, who brought to Maine Gen. Knox and other noted horses, writes : " When I was a boy and lived at North Berwick, Me., a Mr. Bellows used to come there and stand a Morgan horse that I think was named Flint Morgan— chestnut, 15 hands, 1050 pounds". NAPOLEON MORGAN (YOUNG FLINT MORGAN, WATSON HORSE, STEVE FRENCH HORSE, MASSILLON MORGAN) Dark chestnut, 15 hands, 1000 pounds ; foaled 1840 ; bred by Daniel W. Watson, Sandwich, N. H. ; got by Flint Morgan, son of Sherman Morgan : dam said to be by Cock of the Rock, son of Sherman Morgan ; and 2d dam an English mare imported into Portsmouth, N. H., by a Mr. Purdy. This breed- ing of the dam is from a sworn statement of N. D. Wetmore, dated at Stark Co., O., Sept. 27, 1858, and we think is correct, although Mr. Stephen French in late years had an impression that the dam was by a three-year-old son of the Pettis Horse, a bay horse, 15^2 hands, about 1000 pounds, said to be a son of Sherman Morgan. 322 THE MORGAN HORSE Sold, 1848 or '49, by his breeder to Stephen French, Farmington, N. H., who named him Napoleon Morgan. He sold him, 1851, for $1000, to N. D. Wetmore, then of Rochester, N. H., who took him same year to Massillon, O., where he was kept on a stock farm owned by an uncle of Mr. Wetmore until about 1859, when he went to Memphis, Tenn.. and was be- ing ridden by an officer in the Confederate army when last heard from. Took sweepstakes premium at Ohio State fair, 1852, and said to have won all premiums he ever competed for. Stephen French writes : " I think he was the finest horse I ever saw, and the best stock horse for all uses that ever stood in this part of the country. Napoleon Morgan got the John Edger- ly Horse, that went to Ohio ; the Wheeler Horse, that went to Illinois ; the Horton Horse, that went to Ohio ; the Leighton Horse, that went to New York ; the Home Horse, that went to Illinois, and the Yatten Horse, that went to Maryland. All these could trot in 2 140 or better, except the last, and he was said to be fast, but I do not know as to his speed. All were used for stock purposes, and all were raised in New Hampshire. There were a number of grandsons of Napoleon Morgan raised here that did service here. The Dr. Toby Horse was raised in Roxbury, Mass., and was sold and went to Maryland. He was said to be very fast. The Henry Horse, a grandson, very fine and fast, went to Pennsylvania. There were others of his get that could trot in 2 140 or better 30 or 40 years ago ". Henry E. Lord, Lebanon, N. H., writes : "Of very fine style and ac- tion. He had the Morgan pluck and endurance, and was possessed of quite a turn of speed for those days. French used to trot him with any stallion that would tackle him and he never was beaten but once. Sir Charles, the sire of Anna Hall, beat him in a race on the ice at Bridgeton, Me. It is said that Napoleon would trot 15 miles an hour on country roads with two men in a buggy". C. B. Haxthal, Chillicothe, O., says: "Napoleon Morgan took ist premium at all agricultural fairs whenever exhibited. At the Tennessee State fair in 1859 received the ist premium, and when 28 years old looked like a colt. He was one of the finest and best made horses ever seen, and his colts were speedy and quite fast for those days". Charles Cloudman, Stoneham, Mass., breeder of Belle Dean , writes : "The Stephen French Horse was a very handsome horse. I knew him well, and consider him one of the best ever bred in New England". T. W. McCue, dealer in horses, Akron, O., writes : " He was a fast, handsome horse and left more good colts than any other horse that ever stood in Mas- sillon, O". Advertised in Cleveland " Ohio Farmer," 1858, by N. D. Witmore as fol- lows : "Napoleon or Massillon Morgan, winner of all premiums he ever com- peted for, including sweepstakes at Ohio State fair, 1852. Sire of Stranger, Weasel, Miss Godfry, Lady Henry, the Smith Horse and others that have won from five to twenty trotting matches without ever having been beaten, and some of which have been sold at $3000, will stand at Massillon ", etc. DESCENDANTS OF SHERMAN MORGAN 323 The affidavit referred to appears in full in the pedigree of Tempest Morgan.

Mr. 326 THE MORGAN HORSE Spicer states that his sire, Sherman Morgan, was kept at Montpelier and Waterbury the season that the Shepard Horse was got. Jonathan Shepard advertises in the Montpelier "Watchman" of 1829, Young Brilliant, dapple bay, four years old, which is perhaps the same horse. We understand that Mr. Shepard had a son of this horse, also called Wicked Will, which is probably the horse which he advertised, 1842, at Montpelier, Vt., describing him as his well-known Morgan Horse.

Sold to a company at Concord, Vt., 1838 ; to E. Sawyer, Wells River, Vt., about 1846 ; to Mr. Marsh, Marshfield, Vt. Died 1848. Harvey Judevine, West Concord, Vt., writes : " His stock here proved superior to that of any other horse in this locality. I knew him well when first taken to Concord, four years old — the best four-year-old I ever saw ex- cepting some of his colts. Mr. Knight lived about one mile from my home. The Billy Root was sometimes on the same route with Knight's Horse. They were gaited very much alike. Knight's Horse had no training for speed ; a good roadster, and style was the rage then ; a powerful horse, good knee action, square trotter, quick motion, not as long gaited as the standard of to-day ; a hard horse to beat on the road ; kind and easily managed ; had very heavy fore parts, Roman nose ; was called black, but was not a coal black. I recollect many chestnut-colored colts. His colts were remarkable for kindness of disposition". Died 1848 or '49. Mr. Judevine also sent us the following poster: "The People's Choice : Knight's Horse ! The Vermont Champion ! Will be at the follow- ing places for the use of mares during the ensuing season : Mondays and Tuesdays, Concord Corners ; Wednesdays, S. Allen's, Lunenburg Corners ; Thursdays, until 2 o'clock P. M., Wallace's, Dalton, N. H. ; remainder of the day, W. G. Cushman's, Dalton, N. H. ; Fridays, O. G. Hale's, Waterford Lower Village; Saturdays, J. Gage's, St. Johnsbury East. The horse is so well known on the above route, generally, that we deem it unnecessary to say one word in favor of him ; we consider it sufficient to merely let the peo- ple know where he can be found. The knowledge of the horse and his stock is sufficient ; and we are grateful that we have a horse which is perfect- 328 THE MORGAN HORSE ly adapted to the wants of the community, whose services we offer to the public.

Clark kept him until 1853 and he was then sold toAlvah Merrill, also of Turner, Me., for Sioo. He had become partially para- lyzed some three years before in consequence of an injury. After having several different owners he died in Phillips, Me., in 1858. A horse of fine style and carriage. A favorite parade horse. In all his leading characteristics he bore a striking resemblance to the best type of the Morgan breed of horses, and al- ways exhibited in a high degree those qualities that have given them their justly- earned celebrity ". Mr. Linsley says : " He was the sire of Whalebone, who, in double harness with Lantern, trotted a match on Long Island in June, 1855, against Stella and Alice Gray, mile heats, beating them in 2 142. He has the reputation of being a fine horse ". H. Bradford, Turner, Me., writes : " He was one of the best horses ever owned in this part of the State. He was never handled on a track and I think in his day there was not a trotting track in Maine. In a carriage he was all speed and style, and the faster he went the more style he put on ". 334 THE MORGAN HORSE SIRE OF |l ll 'd D % ll ° "EIS fi- fe 8 •38 0 rt Sire of Dam.

Dr. Garcelon writes : " When I bought the horse he was four or five, and a perfect specimen of the Morgan stock. I owned Pollard Morgan about three years, using him in the stud two seasons, and the rest of the time driving him in my professional business. He was sold by me to Mr. Jack of Portland, Me., who immediately sent him to New York city, where I last saw him, in 1853, I think, at his stable, corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty-third street. Of his subsequent history I know nothing. While in my possession he sired many of the best horses known for several years afterward in this section of the State, and at the present time many of our best horses are his lineal descendants. At same time I owned him, I owned a Messenger mare, one of the most elegant of her day, and raised from this cross as fine a stud as can well be found. I have been in the practice of medicine 49 years, riding daily, and I have never yet found a class of horses that could compare favorably with those possessing a good share of Morgan blood".

Bachop, Barnet, Vt. ; got by Sherman Morgan : dam black. Archibald Bachop, Newbury, Vt., son of Wm. Bachop, says : " The old Sherman Morgan came to father's and stood in his stable two or three years. Father had a black mare that came from Canada, called English blood. He raised from her another black one, got by the Dean Horse of Danville, a black, good- sized horse, that was rather savage. I do not know his blood. The dam of the Green Mountain was one of these two mares, and I rather think was the younger one. Father raised the same year from the other mare, and also by Sherman Morgan, a smallish black horse, which he took to Boston when five and sold. This was the winter before we sold the other. Father lived then in Barnet. I think this last horse was kept a while in Massachusetts as a stallion. Burbank Morgan resembled our Green Mountain very much ; was about the same color and size. A Morgan horse owned in Cabot by Clark was quite a good horse, light chestnut, 15 hands, 1000 pounds; got by Sherman. The old Sherman was very hollow-backed when at father's, a little too much that way, but his stock were all right." Sold by breeder, 1834, for $500, to Messrs. Butler and Whitcher, who took him to Hampshire Co., Mass. Afterwards owned in Barnet a number of years by a Mr. Harvey, and later by George Wheeler, Danville, Vt., who, it is thought, took him West. He is described as a remarkably strong, hardy animal, not so high-headed as some, but a very good traveler on the road, and hard to tire out. We 336 THE MORGAN HORSE have found the following advertisement in the " Hampshire Gazette "of Northampton, Mass., 1835, from which it appears that the full name of this horse was Green Mountain Morgan. He will, however, appear in this book under the name of Green Mountain, that Mr. Linsley used, and which will distinguish him from Green Mountain Morgan, son of Gifford Morgan : " Green Mountain Morgan, a true son of old Sherman Morgan, will stand, etc., in Belchertown, Granby, South Hadley, Greenwich and Enfield. J. S. WHITCHER". A certificate of Wm. Archibald Bachop follows, stating that in spring of 1834 they sold to Luther Butler and J. S. Whitcher, a brown stallion foaled 1828, by a first-rate mare, and sired by the old Sherman. A second certifi- cate, signed by 16 citizens of Vermont and New Hampshire, says : "We con- sider the Green Mountain Morgan the best sized we have ever seen of the Morgan race of horses." They further speak very highly of him. BLACK MORGAN Black, 15^ hands, 1000 pounds; foaled 1840; bred by William Gor- ham, Kirby, Vt. ; got by Green Mountain, son of Sherman Morgan : dam gray, bred by Henry Graves, Kirby, Vt., got by Levi Wilder' s colt, gelded when three, son of the Batchelder Horse, by Sherman Morgan ; 26. dam black, long and low, with high temper, traded for by Levi Wilder, Lyndon, Vt., and by him sold to Henry Graves ; she was in the main an excellent mare, and a black colt of hers, by a horse owned by Silas Houghton, was noted as a fast runner. Sold to Jerry Sias, St. Johnsbury, Vt., 1842 ; David Allen, Burke, Vt., 1843 ; Stephen Ladd, about 1846 ; L. D. Ide, Lyndon, Vt., 1849 ; John Hanson, Compton, P. Q., 1852 ; back to L. D. Ide, 1855 ; again to John Hanson, 1857; to George Ide, Lyndon, Vt., 1862, whose property he died, from effects of an accident, October, 1869. Advertised by Lewis Hanson, "Stanstead Journal", in 1851-59-60- 6 1. Mr. Ladd kept him in Maine two seasons. A horse of the highest merit. About one-half of his colts were black, and a majority of the re- mainder brown or chestnut. E. H. Hoffman, Lyndon, Vt., states that Levi Wilder, about 1835, went each winter from Lyndon, Vt., to Portland, Me., carrying produce and bringing back merchandise, and in one of these trips purchased the 2d dam. Mr. Hoffman further says : "No direct descend- ant of old Black Morgan has achieved honors upon the turf, but upon the road they are rarely equaled". J. W. Gorham, son of the breeder, writes : " My father bought the gray mare when two of Henry Graves. Her dam was a black Morgan mare, to all appearance, about 900 pounds ; pedigree unknown. Mr. Wilder traded for her on the highway, and did not ask the man's name or give his, as he was trading off a kicker, and got out of sight as soon as possible. It is said by good judges of horses that Black Morgan's place as a stock horse has never been filled in northern Vermont".

Harvey, states : " Sultan possesses in an eminent degree the peculiar excellence of the Morgan family, beauty, style, speed and bottom. Received the ist premium at Stanstead Agricultural society in 1856 ". T. M. Paterson writes : " I kept the Harvey Horse, known as Sultan Morgan, for the benefit of our community. He was the finest stock horse in western Pennsylvania ; got more matched teams and good roadsters than any other horse that has ever been in our county. At that time we had no thoroughbred mares here to breed to him, generally large, coarse mares, but for all that a great number of his colts showed speed. Many of them weighed from 1200 to 1400 pounds; they made fine carriage and saddle horses, and many of them splendid farm horses. Sultan Morgan was never in regular training with me, except one fall, after the season was over, I gave him to a trainer for 40 days. In that time he learned to trot in 2 -.44. He was a born trotter ; did not require any weights, boots or other trimmings. He stood for 14 years at Paterson Mills, Penn., and did a good business every year ".

Kept by Garfield at West Shefford, Waterloo and Knowlton, P. Q. L. G. Brown, now of North Leominster, Mass., writes : " He was sound, spirited and stylish to the time of his death. His stock were uniform in shape and color, stylish and speedy, and although he did a very large service in the three counties for over 20 years, 120 mares each year, scarcely one of his colts can be found there ; many of them were sold as matched pairs ; most of them were black, bay or very dark chestnut, and all had the Morgan style and spirit, and were great roadsters. He had strong limbs, heavy bone, good feet, mane and tail long and wavy, beautiful style and proud action. I had no opportunity to train him, but he trotted a race on ice in 2 -.48".

BELLFOUNDER MORGAN Dappled chestnut, about 15 hands ; foaled about 1832 ; bred by Samuel DESCENDANTS OF SHERMAN MORGAN 341 Jacques, Ten Hills Farm, near Boston, Mass. ; got by Sherman Morgan : dam bred by Samuel Jacques, got by Bellfounder, imported from England in 1822 by James Boot of Boston ; 2d dam a remarkably fine mare, whose style and fleetness excited much attention, pui chased by Samuel Jacques of a baker who lived 16 miles from Boston and drove her to Boston nearly every day for several years, said to be by Justin Morgan. Owned and of- fered for sale in 1839 by Samuel Jacques. A horse of this name and description, and we have no doubt this horse, was brought from New England to the Province of Nova Scotia, about 1842, by Henry Palmer of Windsor, Hants county, who stood him the first season about Hants county ; he was next sent to Cape Breton to cross with the French mares on that island, and produced a great number of trotters, among them the horse Nelson, which is said to have got more trotters in the province than all other stallions ever owned there, and to have imparted speed to all his stock. Bellfounder Morgan was off the island several years and traveled in different parts of Nova Scotia. About 1850 he was pur- chased by John Calshan of Sidney, Cape Breton. A. C. Bell of New Glas- gow, N. S., writes : "He is described by one who saw him as a chestnut, about 15 hands, and weighing about 950 pounds, with great style and action". The following letter appears in the "Spirit of the Times", New York, 1841 : BOSTON, MASS., Nov. 20, 1841. Dear Sir : — I noticed some months since in your interesting paper a communication asking for information about "horses for all- work". Knowing that Col. Jacques had a Canadian stallion standing on his farm, I called on him, showed him the notice, and requested him to write you on the subject. He then produced a number of the " Spirit" for August or September, 1839, which contained a letter from him giving information relative to the Morgan breed of horses, and he said he would drop a line to you, and refer you to the number. We have some of the Vermont horses — bright bays — nice saddle or gig horses, here in Boston, but now we get a number of fine ones from Maine. Col. Jacques has a splendid stud called Black Hawk on his Ten Hills Farm, three miles from Boston. It is a direct cross from an English blood horse and a Canadian. I have seen one or two nice trotters this year, whose pedigree can be traced back to a horse taken from an English officer at the battle of Saratoga and taken into Vermont. Yours truly, J. D. H. The following is by one of the best judges of a horse, and one of the best horsemen of his time : A STALLION To GET ROADSTERS I think Bellfounder Morgan possesses the best properties as a roadster of any horse ever bred in New England. This, you may think, is a strong expression, considering the many fine roadsters we have bred. It is a fact of great notoriety that New England, within the last 40 years, has pro- duced more and better roadsters than any other section of this, and perhaps any other country. It has been said, and I believe it cannot be contradicted with propriety, that there has never been a breed of horses in New England 342 THE MORGAN HORSE which have proved so eminently useful as the Morgan breed. They have often excited the admiration of strangers and foreigners. They combine in a great degree the properties so desirable to New England Yankee notions, viz. : Go to church, go to mill ; and to the saddle, before the gig, to the coach, and before the plow. They excel in great endurance, carrying weight a long distance ; noble and generous-spirited, with such docility of temper that the most timid can drive them ; but if put to their mettle they are a full hand for the best whip. * * * The Goss Morgan horse was the crack stallion in Vermont and that vicinity for more than 25 years, and he probably produced more foals than any horse on record. He was the sire of the famous Sherman Morgan horse, a stallion of merit, extraordinary powers and fine properties. I obtained some years since a remarkably fine mare which was got by the Goss Morgan horse. She was owned in my neighborhood by a baker, who resided 16 miles from Boston. She had been driven- in his bread-cart with a load of bread into Boston and back again, six days in the week, for several years, hardly missing a day. Her style and fleetness excited much attention. After ob- taining this mare I bred her to the imported horse Bellfounder, and she dropped me a filly ; and when the filly was four years old I bred her to the Sherman Morgan horse, and she dropped me a colt which I call Bellfounder Morgan. I have attempted to breed a horse to order, to combine as much as possible speed, health, constitution, vigor and good temper — legs showing the bone and muscle of the blood horse ; chest and body round, full and compact ; shoulders well laid in, back short, with good coupling, neck rising prompt from the shoulders, and a good length, with a light head, well placed ; all of which are admirably combined and developed in Bellfounder Morgan. Bellfounder Morgan is 15 hands and one inch high, well grown, a beau- tiful dappled chestnut color, with a coat comparing with a thoroughbred horse ; his gaits are free, easy, true and regular ; he trots a mile in three minutes, varying but a few seconds now, although he has never been trained, nor never has eaten four bushels of any kind of grain since he was foaled. I have managed him wholly myself ; he is perfectly safe, and well broken be- fore a gig or under the saddle ; he has never shown a vicious act, is gay and prompt. I have never seen a sounder horse, to my knowledge — I believe he is without a blemish. I have been many years in accomplishing this object, and know not how to combine more useful properties in any one horse. As a stallion his value can hardly be 'calculated. As a gig and saddle horse he is not excelled ; he is quiet and perfectly manageable in the gig or saddle, on the road. In France and many other places the horses in common use are entire. My family chaise horse, milk-cart horse and team horses are entire and no more trouble than geldings. Yours very truly, SAMUEL JACQUES. LORD NELSON (BALL HORSE) Bay; foaled about 1852 ; bred by John McDonald, Sidney Forks, Cape Breton Island ; got by Bellfounder Morgan, son of Sherman Morgan : dam bred by Rosa Campbell, Big Pond, Cape Breton, got by Barney, a horse taken from South River, Nova Scotia, to Cape Breton, and there owned by John M.

Mr. Ladd kept him three years on his farm in Ohio, where he left about 150 foals, mostly large bays 15% to 16 hands, weighing 1000 to 1200 pounds, superior roadsters. He was then killed by a fall. Mr. Ladd says that at the time of his death he was the most popular stallion in eastern Ohio. When this horse went to Ohio, Mr. Ladd thinks there was only one other Morgan stallion in that State, Morgan Bulrush, owned in Trumbull Co. Sire of 3d dam of Lobasco 2:10%.

He is a very compact, well-shaped horse, excellent head and neck, fine style of movement and a good traveler, but not so much spirit as some. A very hardy and enduring horse. His stock are not deficient in spirit, and many of them have a great deal of life, and are generally excellent animals." WHITE MOUNTAIN MORGAN JR Gray; bred by C. B.

Received ist premium at New Hampshire State fair, 1855. By referring to pages 6 and 919 of this work it will be perceived that the opinion is there expressed that Seely's American Star was a Morgan horse. Since this work has been electrotyped additional evidence has come in which makes it sufficiently certain that Coburn's American Star, the sire of Seely's American Star, was a son of Cock of the Rock, by Sherman Mor- gan, to warrant his insertion and that of the family in this book. It has been proved, beyond all possible question, that Seely's Ameri- can Star was bred by Judge Berry of 'Pompton Plains, N. J., foaled 1837, and got by an elegant, but small, young chestnut horse, called American Star, owned, at the time, by Ira Coburn of New York city. In a pamphlet, containing a history of Seely's American Star, furnished us by Henry K. Berry, Paterson, N. J., it is stated that he was got by American Star, son of a horse called Cock of the Rock. In a compilation of pedigrees by S. D. Bruce (editor of the " American Thoroughbred Stud Book") procured, as he states, from the most reliable sources, and published in the "Turf, Field and Farm," New York city, and which can now be found in the office of that paper, after first giving the old pedigree, " by Stock- holm's American Star," which has been proved to be false, he says : "Another account makes him to have been got by a son of Cock of the Rock." These statements, made with so much accuracy, would hardly be hand- ed down except they were founded in fact. And the question arose at once, What horse was this " Cock of the Rock," whence did he come, who owned him, and what was his breeding ? After much effort, that extended over several years, we, at last, succeeded in finding a daughter of Ira Coburn, Mrs. James M. Quick, living in Brook- lyn. In an interview with her she stated that she remembered well her father's horse, American Star, which he owned several years, but did not know where he got him, or the horse's breeding ; but said that he owned at the same time an older stallion, she thought chestnut, and called Cock of the Rock. She did not know whether this horse was the sire of the younger one or not ; said he was a larger horse, not quite so handsome, but a very stylish horse. She thought her father got these horses in New York city. It was, of course, at once quite evident that the Cock of the Rock re- ferred to in the pedigree of Seely's American Star was almost certainly this horse owned by Mr. Coburn. We have received the following letters from J. S. Quick of Brooklyn, N. Y., and from Mrs. Charles C. Bradford of East Boston, Mass., another daughter of Ira Coburn : "219 BERGEN STREET, BROOKLYN. "Your note of 191)1 inst. received. In answer would say that my wife is the daughter of the late Ira Coburn, and remembers her father owning the DESCENDANTS OF SHERMAN MORGAN 348-^ horse mentioned, also a horse named Cock of the Rock. My wife does not remember from whom her father purchased the horses. Respectfully yours, Brooklyn, Nov. 22, 1891. JAMES S. QUICK." "BROOKLYN, Dec. 13, 1891. "DEAR SIR: My wife's father lived in Boston before coming to New York. He owned American Star, Cock of the Rock, Ragged Sailor, all noted horses. Respectfully, J. S. QUICK." "EAST BOSTON, Nov. 21, 1891. 43 Chelsea Street. " DEAR SIR : Your letter received. I am the daughter of Ira Coburn. My father was a builder and contractor, and lived in the city of New York from 1833 to 1839. "We lived in i3th street where Macy's store now is. My father built a block of houses on that site, and I think a few of the houses in the rear of the store now stand. "He owned a celebrated stallion called the American Star; I remember him well and can see him almost, with his blanket and stars. His pedigree I cannot give you. My brothers are younger than I am and would know but little of the horse if anything. My father had a hostler by the name of Sam Maxfield. He lived on the west side of New York near the foot of Canal street. Maxfield must be dead now. Jesse Adams was also in the employ of my father, and, if living, might know something concerning the horse. " Ira Coburn, my father, was a military man and was a captain of some of the military companies of the city, and I remember of his riding this horse on parades. " He built some of the sugar houses in New York. He was an intimate friend of Edwin Forrest and John J. Astor, and I should think that you might find some one in the military line that would know something of him and the horse. Respectfully yours, MRS. CHARLES C. BRADFORD." " EAST BOSTON, Dec. 7, 1891. 43 Chelsea Street. "DEAR SIR : Your letter of the 2ist. received. I am perfectly willing to give you what information I can concerning the horse American Star. "My father moved from Boston, in the first part of the year 1830, to Milford, Pike Co., Penn. He remained there, I think, three years ; then he moved to New York city and lived till 1839; then he moved back ;o Milford and remained until 1846 ; then he moved to Chelsea, Mass. " He must have bought the horse after 1833 in New York city. " My father was born in the town of Dracut, now a part of the city of Lowell. 34S-/5 THE MORGAN HORSE " He never bred any horses to my knowledge. He did at one time own a stallion that he called the Cock of the Rock, but do not know as to their relationship. Respectfully yours, MRS. CHARLES C. BRADFORD." Two horses, and only two, named Cock of the Rock, are conspicuous in the history of American horses. The first of these was a bay horse, without marks; bred by Nathaniel Coles on Long Island; foaled 1814; got by Duroc, son of imported Diomed : dam by imported Messenger. This horse was sold by his breeder to C. W. Van Rantz, and by him, in the fall of 1819, to Gen. Barnum of Vergennes, Vt., who took him to his home in Vermont, and kept him until 1829 or '30, when he was sold and went to Orange county, N. Y., and, in 1833, was sold again to Judge Barry and others and taken to Gallatin, Tenn., where he died several years later. The other horse of this name was the Morgan Cock of the Rock that appears on page 313. The description of the horse, Cock of the Rock, owned by her father, given to us in our interview with Mrs. Quick, made it probable that he was the Morgan Cock of the Rock, but was not accurate enough to make it cer- tain. The following additional information received from our old friend John Moore, Fleetwood Park, New York, taken in connection with Mr. Linsley's statement that Morgan Cock of the Rock was kept for a time in New York, supplies the missing link which shows that Morgan Cock of the Rock was kept in New Jersey at precisely the time that Mr. Coburn kept his horse Cock of the Rock in New Jersey, and there can be no reasonable doubt but that these two horses are one and the same. Mr. Moore, whom we met again at the Kellogg sale at the American Institute, New York, said : "I knew Seely's American Star. He was a blocky horse, not over 15 hands ; a prompt, full-made horse, nice mover, with spread gait. Resembled the Kentucky Hunters. Round made and ribbed up ; had a nice neck. He resembled a good deal the Morgans ; old Ethan Allen and old Star were alike in shape and style. Star would make you think of old Ethan Allen." Again Mr. Moore said, in answer to direct question of what breed he thought American Star was : " He resembled very much the Cock of the Rock breed ". And when asked what this breed was, he continued : " Cock of the Rock was chestnut with white face and feet, silver mane and tail, 15^ hands high, that came to Oneida county, N. Y., from New Jersey, and stood there one year, about 1836, at my father's barn in Norwich, and in New Berlin, Chenango county. His stock looked like the Morgans ; round, blocky-built, with good necks, good shoulders, good loins and active on the feet. It was said that Kentucky Hunter was got by him. "Cock of the Rock was a fine-coated horse, golden sorrel, lighter than chestnut, claimed to be well bred, but I do not know his breeding, nor what became of him. He was a blocky, strong-made horse." DESCENDANTS OF SHERMAN MORGAN 348-* Since this interview with Mr. Moore we have obtained the following additional, interesting information of this horse. He was foaled, almost certainly, as early as 1822. He was first named Morgan Rock, which name he retained until purchased in the fall of 1831, by George Bellows who re- named him Morgan Cock of the Rock, and, at the same time, assisted by S. C. Gibb, as Mr. Wier states, and as the advertisement shows, made up the story that his dam was by Barnum's Cock of the Rock. In 1832 and '33 George Bellows advertised Morgan Cock of the Rock to be kept at Durham, N. H., and neighboring towns. In 1834 he stood him at Brattleboro, Vt., and neighboring towns, at least a part of the season, selling him that summer or fall, as we understand, either directly to a cousin, John Bellows, then keeping a livery in New York, or to parties who sold him to this John Bellows. This John Bellows was a son of Theo- dore Bellows of Charlestown, N. H. He moved to New York, previous to 1830, became quite wealthy and was accustomed to return to his old home at Charlestown, N. H., to buy horses, and also summers, taking with him his carriage and negro driver. He stopped when at Charlestown with his father, whose farm adjoined that of Judge Sumner, that at one time owned Cock of the Rock, and it is thought that at the same time he purchased Cock of the Rock he bought a very elegant son of Cock of the Rock from the estate of Judge Sumner, and took to New York, with his sire. The young son of Cock of the Rock referred to, bred by Judge Sumner, was undoubtedly the horse known as Coburn's American Star. These two horses passed to Ira Coburn, and it is most probable that he purchased them in New York city of John Bellows. Our last trip to secure testimony of this matter was to Brattleboro, Vt., Northampton and Springfield, Mass., New York city and Brooklyn, differ- ent places in New Jersey, Boston, Mass., and Walpole and Charlestown, N. H. ; with following results : Mr. Shepherd of Northampton, Mass., born about 1812, said: "Cock of the Rock was a rangy horse. He was kept here in Frink's stable, about 1836, and I bred a mare to him whilst he stood there. I think he came here from Pittsfield way. He stood here one year, perhaps two. About 1835 I took a mare to Bradford, Vt., and bred her to Wood- bury Morgan. Both the Bulrush and Woodbury Morgans were at Bradford at that time, owned by the Johnsons. The Bulrush was a very different shaped horse from the other. He was a big, little horse, head on top, just like a rooster. He was more of a Canuck shape, chunky-built, but was fine. I liked the Woodbury best. The Bulrush was not quite rangy enough to suit me. The Woodbury was larger and rather more rangy. The Bulrush had a short, straight back, and had heavy legs that were, perhaps, covered with hair." An elderly gentleman stopping at the Massasoit House, Springfield, Mass., whose name we neglected to take, said : " Mr. Stockbridge had a chestnut Morgan stallion here fifty or sixty years ago, a little fellow, but very proud and very stylish ; he was a ,beautiful horse. Almost always at fall 348-^ THE MORGAN HORSE trainings some one would ride him. He was a regular-built Morgan. I began to drive stage when nineteen. I think this horse was here before 1840, or about that time. He was about here for a number of years. In those days this country was full of Morgan horses." Mr. Howard of Springfield, Mass., born about 1816, said: "I came herein 1841. I worked for Frink of Northampton, driving stage from Greenfield to Deerfield, in the spring of 1836. The Morgan Cock of the Rock was not at Frink's stable then, but I saw him that season at South Hadley. Frink went to Peoria, 111., in 1837, I think, and afterwards to Chicago. "Stockbridge, who kept the hotel at South Hadley, had a horse of same color, but smaller, that I think was a son of Cock of the Rock. He was not a fast horse, but a dreadful pretty, nice, pleasant horse. I think he had him about 1836. The old horse was a splendid horse to look at, but most too leggy for the farmers. He could look a little better than any horse I about ever saw in my life. A little leggy ; did not have belly enough to suit all the farmers". John A. Abbey of Springfield, Mass., born 1817, said : "I saw Cock of the Rock first at South Hadley Falls, about 1840, handled by John — . He stood there and up and down the river. He was a Morgan. The Mor- gans carry their heads up and tails out and have a delicate kind of way of moving ; everything seems to all go together. I do not think Cock of the Rock weighed over 1000 pounds". Mrs. James S. Quick, Brooklyn, daughter of Ira Coburn, in answer to question whether Cock of the Rock, owned by her father, had any white on him, and, if so, where, said : " Yes, he had white on his neck [silver mane] and on his nose. He was a splendid looking horse. My father had him and American Star together Oh ! the American Star was a beauty, and the Cock of the Rock was beautiful. They were handsome animals. I can see them to-day before my face, they were so beautiful. It seems as if my father must have had Cock of the Rock a year or more, but he sold him before he sold American Star. We lived in i3th street, New York, when we owned these horses. I can remember them in the spring." To question : "Yes, my father often went to New Hampshire, where he had relatives living. The horses may have come from there for aught I know. My father was very fond of animals and at the time he owned these horses he was rich and had carriage horses, but he lost heavily at the great fire at New York. I remember he got a good price for these horses ; my mother said he made money on them. I, with two of my sisters and oldest brother, was^born in Boston." In the New York directory the name of Ira Coburn. carpenter, appears first in 1832, again in 1833, '35 and '36. It does not appear in 1834 or '37 or after 1837. It appears first at i3th street in 1835. Mrs. C. C. Bradford, 43 Chelsea street, East Boston, said : " I can re- member American Star and Cock of the Rock ; it was the talk of the town how beautiful these horses were, and every one came to see them from far and DESCENDANTS OF SHERMAN MORGAN 348-^ near. I was a small girl, not over six or eight. I was born 1829. I think we drove the American Star. I am very sure father drove him and took me to ride with him." Mrs. Bradford thought that Cock of the Rock might have been owned by her father when kept in Norwich, N. Y. ; said she knew that the horses went off some distance. F. A. Weir, Walpole, N. H., said : "In the fall of 1837, I think it was, George and John Bellows bought fourteen stallions of Buckminster, most of them by Sherman Morgan ; one was Little Randolph. I bought the Dan- ville Gray. The Blanchard Horse was gelded by Bellows. He sold Little Randolph for $TOO, and Mountain Eagle for $90, on the spot. George Bel- lows stood Vermont Morgan Champion at Hinsdale and Brattleboro one season, and Cock of the Rock at Brattleboro and Greenfield. He hired this Champion and the horse went back to Jefferson, where he was bred, and was afterwards sold to Knights. It was George Bellows that changed the name of Morgan Rock to Cock of the Rock, and it was he that first said that his dam was by Barnum's Cock of the Rock. This was made up out of full cloth by him and S. C. Gibb. The horse was bred by Bowers, sold to Os- mer, who took him to Whitefield and Lancaster, then to Stanstead, where Frederick Sumner of Charlestown traded for him. " Cock of the Rock got his first colts at Whitefield. He had one at Lincoln, N. H., that I bought; bay, 15^ hands, 1150 pounds, bred in Lin- coln when Cock of the Rock was three years old ; the owner kept a little hotel in the notch of the mountains. I sold him in Woonsocket, R. I. ; he was seven or eight years old when I bought him. Morgan De Forest was sorrel, with silver mane and tail, stylish, 15^ hands, noo pounds. "Gibb kept hotel at St. Johnsbury when he bought Sherman Morgan of Sherman, Lyndon, for $100. Sumner kept Cock of the Rock two or three years ; stood him in Springfield, Vt., with Whitcomb. Judge Sumner had a roan stallion, a son of Cock of the Rock that was bred in Lancaster. Bow- man had a chestnut son that I bought and sold to go to Rhode Island. "Morgan Post Boy was a bay or brown, 850 pounds, less than 15 hands, sold by George Bellows to Bardwell, I think, of Greenfield, Mass. He would attract your attention in going by ; a neat, pretty horse ; bred, I think, in Dan- ville, and got by Sherman Morgan : dam said to be by Post Boy, a horse brought from Connecticut to Hartford, Vt., by Simon Smith. "There was a Phoenix here, about 1820, that was said to be by Bellows, Quicksilver. This Phoenix was bay, 15 hands, and owned at one time by Rice of Worcester, Mass. He was quite a showy and sprightly horse". James C. Stebbins, born about 1806, a prominent citizen of Charles- town, N. H., where he was sheriff for 40 years, said : "John Bellows of this town went to New York, I think in the 2o's, kept livery there and got quite rich. He used to come back here and buy horses. He came up here a number of summers with coach and negro servant. It seems to me that I have heard that Morgan Cock of the Rock was taken to New York, and I think it was this Bellows that took him. The old Morgan Cock of the 348-/ THE MORGAN HORSE Rock was a powerful fellow to go. He would go terribly, and he had some colts here that would go terribly : Mr. Hayvvard had one that would go like the wind. Jim Sumner got the horse in Littleton or Lancaster and had him here when I came here, July 4, 1829. He called him Morgan Rock. As beautiful a horse as ever I saw, and I never saw a better broken horse than he was. He was called seven years old in 1829. We had some of the finest horses here from him that were ever in town — nicest. I had one of his colts that I swapped with Walker, hotel-keeper at Keene, for $300 and another horse. Walker sold him to Lamson, the great glass folks of Keene, for $500. Mr. Oilman Bowen had a most beautiful stud from Cock of the Rock; regular chunk, nice Morgan horse as you ever saw, 1200 pounds. Died here. There was nothing else here but Morgan horses in those days ; all Morgans ; all gone. The best horses ever here a great deal. Sumner called his horse Morgan Rock. I never heard anything about his dam. There was not a farmer back here but what had a colt from him, and some a number of them." Abraham Hull, Charlestown, N. H., born 1814, said: "I don't know anything about the Cock of the Rock only he was one of the handsomest horses I ever saw. Mr. Sumner raised a light chestnut colt from him, which he kept as a stallion, that was equally handsome, perhaps handsomer, but not so large. I do not think it had any white except a star. I worked for Mr. Sumner in 1832 and used to lead and sometimes ride this colt to water, but the colt had not then been broken to harness. He must have been three years old." To the question of whether they gelded him : " Oh ! no : no one would have ever thought of gelding such a colt. The dam of this colt was a gray mare, that Mr. Sumner bought of James Baker. The Der- rick Hartwell horse was a son of Morgan Rock, and about as beautiful a horse as his sire. Just about the color of the old horse, perhaps a little grain darker. They were the most beautiful horses ; it didn't seem that God could make any more beautiful. It was said that a man in Vermont owned an interest in the old horse when Sumner had him. I know he went there. He was called Morgan Rock, and, later, Cock of the Rock. "I went to Gov. Hubbard's in May, the same year that I worked for Mr. Sumner and rode the colt. I stayed at Governor Hubbard's three years, and went to Worcester, Mass., Thanksgiving, 1835. The colt was gentle to handle ; had mild disposition ; I got so I loved it. The dam was a handsome mare of Morgan appearance, and, I presume, a Morgan mare. I think Mr. Sumner died the year I worked for him, but after I went to Gov. Hubbard's. The old horse had a mark on face, and HartwelFs horse had more than the old one. These horses stood right up in style. No artist could make any picture of a horse to beat them. The dam of the Hartwell horse was a high- headed brown mare of good size. The Sumner colt looked the most like the old horse of all his colts I ever saw except Hartwell' s. I remember just as well how the colt looked ; he would put his head right up and trot every step of the way when I led him. The stock of the old Morgan Rock were large and good steppers, all-day horses. Theodore Bellows lived close DESCENDANTS OF SHERMAN MORGAN 348-^ to Simmer's barn-yard, just across the way. I think there can be no doubt that the Sumner colt was sold to John Bellows, and taken to New York with his sire." To enquiries in a second interview Mr. Stebbins said : " James Baker owned a very nice mare, a wonderful creature to go ; she would go terribly. Baker was a horse trader. This mare was a nice-looking gray mare, built like a Morgan, and he always called her his Morgan mare ; she would weigh full 1000 pounds; was broad-breasted and stylish". Cock of the Rock, as we have before stated, was advertised by George Bellows to be kept at Durham and neighboring towns in 1832-33. An advertisement of Young Sherman Morgan in the "Vermont Phoenix" of Brattleboro, 1839, states that Morgan Cock of the Rock had stood in that vicinity, and that his colts were then four years old. No advertisement of Cock of the Rock has been found for 1835, but it is certain that that year he was kept at Norwich and New Berlin, N. Y., probably owned by Ira Coburn. Robbins Battell of Norfolk, Conn., states that in tracing the pedigree of a mare in this part of New York State, one of the dams was said to be by Cock of the Rock, son of Sherman Morgan. In 1836 there is a long ad- vertisement by Horatio Sargent &Co., in the Springfield, Mass., "Republican," of Morgan Cock of the Rock, headed, "A True Morgan Horse." He is described as sorrel chestnut, full 15^ hands. A certificate follows signed by S. C. Gibb, Littleton, N. H., dated Feb. 16, 1836, which says : " Mor- gan Cock of the Rock is now owned by Horatio Sargent & Co., Springfield, Mass." The certificate continues : "He was sired by the old Sherman Mor- gan while in my care and his dam was a fine animal got by Cock of the Rock of Vergennes,Vt., out of a mare owned by Oliver Bowers of Danville. With his stock I have been well acquainted. I have sold many of his colts at high prices." The horse is advertised to stand at Northampton and Springfield, passing on each side of the Connecticut River weekly, and in same advertise- ment Morgan Post Boy is advertised to stand in the vicinity of Spring- field. A certificate by Hiram Hall and twenty-four others, dated at Charlestown, N. H., May 3, 1834, is added, which says : "We have been acquainted with Morgan Cock of the Rock four years past, also with his stock, and do not hesitate to say that he has produced the best stock within our knowl- edge." Morgan Cock of the Rock is briefly advertised in the " Springfield Re- publican," 1837, by Horatio Sargent & Co., to be kept at Springfield, Put's Bridge, South Hadley, Northampton (at Frink's) and Westfield. Terms, $10 to $12. He is advertised again in this paper in 1838, and, in 1840, in the "Vermont Phoenix." From the advertisement of 1836 it would appear that Sargent & Co. purchased the horse previous to Feb. 16. Most probably they purchased him in the winter of 1835 -'36, of Ira Coburn. From the above information we give the pedigrees of these famous horses as follows : 348-h THE MORGAN HORSE AMERICAN STAR (COBURN'S) Chestnut sorrel with star, 15 hands; foaled about 1830; bred by Fred- erick E. Sumner, Charlestown, N. H. ; got by Cock of the Rock, son of Sherman Morgan : dam a very handsome and excellent gray mare, 15 hands, 1025 pounds, foaled about 1820, very much resembling the Morgans, and called by the owner a Morgan mare. Owned by Ira Coburn, a builder of New York city, who kept him, 1835, at John Ricker's tavern, Little Falls, and, 1836, at Pompton Plains, N. J., in charge of Nicholas Smalley. Said to have been gelded 1836, at close of season. He was the sire of Seely's American Star. Samuel P. Raum, Pompton Plains, said : " Henry H. Berry, an uncle of my wife, bred American Star. He called him American Star. He was a colt of the old American Star, and was afterwards known as Seely's Ameri- can Star. The old Star stood at the hotel here ; he was a sorrel horse, a little lighter color than the one Berry raised. He was not an old horse ; look- ed to be a young horse. The old Star was 15 hands, hardly as tall as the young Star • he stood here one season and there was several colts from him. I never heard that he was gelded. Berry did not own him or stand him. He was in charge of a man whose name I forget. You could see he was a blooded horse. He looked like a running horse ; was not thick-set, but of just proportions, good neck and head, very nice horse, full as nice as the younger horse." Garnett Van Ness, a farmer living near Pompton Plains, N. J., born 1 8 1 1, and considered one of the most intelligent and reliable horse- men of that locality, said : " The Berry horse was out of the old, original American Star. I knew the man that brought this original horse here ; his name was Nicholas, but I forget the last name. The old Star (Coburn's) was a very handsome horse, the handsomest I ever saw except Morgan One Eye. He was chestnut sorrel with nice star ; he was not very large, but a clean-made, lively fellow. Oh ! he was a pattern, a little scant of 16 hands, I think ; a moderate-size, clean horse, and, my stars, he was a star ! He was called one of the gentlest horses in the country. Service fee was $20, common price then $5 ; not very old when here, seven or eight or so ; well proportioned, rather light build, rather light horse. Berry's horse could not come up to him at all, could not begin. Squire Berry did not stand the sire — I am sure of that — nor did he geld him. I think the old Star was here two seasons. It would have been a wilful presumption to have gelded a horse like that. He might have been a Morgan ; I have not the least doubt but that he had Morgan blood. He was quick, just like the Morgans, and then he had the rangy neck and clean head, and showed up bigger than he was, just as the Morgans always do. Old Star stood at Little Falls before he came here, at John Ricker's tavern. I raised a colt from him when he stood there, I think it was the year before Berry raised his colt." Henry C. Van Ness, another old resident of Pompton Plains, said : "The Berry horse looked like a Morgan horse. I bred a mare to him when he was coming four years old. I should think he was thoroughbred, or DESCENDANTS OF SHERMAN MORGAN 348-2 Morgan. He was an exceedingly well proportioned horse of rather light build. He was a much finer horse than Berry's colt, very active, with clean head and rangy neck." E. V. G. VanRaun, lawyer, formerly of Brooklyn, but born at Pompton Plains, said : " A man by the name of Coburn owned the old American Star. Nick Smalley, who lived near Pine Brook, had the care of the horse ; brought him here and put up at Squire Berry's. He was sorrel with star, not over 15 hands, a nice, square-built horse. I think Coburn was a boss carpenter. I have lived here thirty-five years and in Brooklyn fourteen. I saw Smalley riding the Coburn horse in Brooklyn. I think he was a good-blooded horse by his looks. He was a very nice-looking horse ; the only objection to raising stock from him was, he was small. He appeared to be six or seven years old when I saw him and probably came here the same season." Mr. Kaisted, Little Falls, N. J., said: "Nick Smalley lived at Pine Brook when he took care of a horse of a gentleman that lived in New York. Smalley stood the horse at Bloomfield and Pine Brook. He was here two seasons ; a young horse when he came here, not over six or eight. The last I saw the horse was in New York, I think the year after he was here ; Nick Smalley had him at the races. He was not gelded then. He was not of very great size, but a very nice-made horse, as nice as you ever saw, sorrel with star ; very active, splendid neck ; you wouldn't see a better made horse. I don't know that they ever ran him ; they used to lead him ; never rode him, or drove him. Everybody used him the first year he was here ; not so many the next." Peter J. Zeliff, Singac, N. J., said ; "John Ricker raised a colt from old Star that he refused $500 for." John H. Wallace, for many years Editor of the "American Trotting Register," said of Seely's American Star, in his "Monthly" of February, 1890 : " On one point only does there seem to be a common ground upon which those that know the horse best have been able to stand, and that is that he was got by a Canadian horse." We have before had occasion to speak of the fact that the Morgan in these times, especially in New York, or to the South, was often called Canadian. The pamphlet furnished us by Henry K. Berry, Paterson, N. J., says : " Ira Coburn, New York, owned the horse American Star. He was a sorrel horse with star, 15 hands, as round as a rope, with a good set of limbs, pleasant disposition, and could trot very fast." This book also says that he was gelded the latter part of the season of 1836. Henry K. Berry writes us : "I have sent you all the information my book gives me. I suppose this is what you wanted. I know this to be the American Star, for I had a colt out of the same horse, one year older than the Seely or Berry Star. This Berry was my cousin, and many times he came to my place. He has been dead many years." 348-y THE MORGAN HORSE AMERICAN STAR (SEELY'Sj Chestnut or sorrel with star, hind feet white, 15^ hands, 1050 pounds; foaled 1837; bred by Henry H. Berry, Pompton Plains, N. J. ; got by Coburn's American Star, son of Cock of the Rock, by Sherman Morgan : dam bay, stripe in face, about 16 hands, a used-up stage mare purchased in New York city by Mr. Berry, at small price, to work in team, breeding en- tirely unknown. The pamphlet above referred to gives the history of the horse as follows : "Advertised by breeder, 1844, to stand at Warwick and New Milford, Orange county, N. Y., at $7 to insure, and warranted to haul a wagon in three minutes. He served but few mares and in August of that year was sold to John Blauvelt, jeweler, New York city, for $350 and two single harnesses. His feet gave out and he was traded for a gray gelding to Cyrus Du- bois of Columbia or Ulster county, who kept him seasons of 1845, '6 and '7 and then sold him to James Storms of Hudson, N. Y., who sold him soon after to Walter Shatter, Hillsville, N. Y. He kept him one or two seasons and sold him, fall of 1849, to Edmund Seely and Hiram Smith, Goshen, N. Y., for $750. Season of 1850 he stood at Goshen, served 54 mares, and got 45 colts at $15 each. In 1851 he served 87 mares, and got 63 colts, at $10 each, also at Goshen, and, 1852, at same place, he served 97 mares and got 62 colts, and, in 1853, at same place and same price, he had 49 mares, with 35 colts. That fall he was taken to Chemung county, N. Y., and trotted a race against Jupiter, winning the sixth heat and race in 2 145. The next spring, 1854, he was taken to Elmira, New York, where he stood for $20, serving 20 mares and getting 15 colts. It is said that a very large majority of his get were mares. In 1855 he stood at Piedmont, Rockland county, N. Y. He served 50 mares and got 35 colts. In the fall of 1855, Mr- Seely took him to Mendota, Lasalle county, 111., where he was kept until the next fall, serving 30 mares and getting 20 colts, at $20. He was then, 1856, taken to Bristol, Kendall county, 111., and in November of same fall was taken back to Goshen, N. Y. In 1857 at Goshen he served 64 mares and got 53 colts, at $20; in 1858, at same place and price, 55 mares and got 45 colts. In 1859 he became the sole property of Edmund Seely. Stood at Goshen at $25 and served 71 mares and got 43 colts. In 1860 he got but 10 colts and that fall was given away by Mr. Seely to Theodore Dusenburg, whose property he died, February, 1861. * * " He had a great deal of speed. Mr. Berry ran him a great many one- half and one-fourth mile races and never had him beaten. At five years he served mares at most any price and was driven to a butcher wagon. He then began to show a fine trotting step. This was in 1842 ; and the next season he received about the same treatment, and could out-trot any horse in the country, and haul the butcher wagon after him. Mr. Berry often made the remark that he had the most bottom and best game of any horse he ever saw." * * * * * * .* DESCENDANTS OF SHERMAN MORGAN 348-7? " Mr. Blauvelt used him for a road horse, and, as he says, the best he ever rode behind for bottom and speed, but the hard roads and the hard drives soon showed the weak points of his dam ; his feet giving out and quarter cracks made their appearance. He was sent up to Mr. Berry to be cured, and the next summer came out all right." * * * " No horse ever stamped upon his offspring his own characteristics of gait, disposition and bottom more strongly than did American Star. Of his get you will find a large percentage mares, highly appreciated by their own- ers, and well they may be, for they are the mothers of the fastest trotters in the world. Of his horse colts but few were kept as stallions." The transfers of the horse as above we know to be correct, and the breeding is established beyond all possible question, although it was given differently by one or more owners. His advertisement of 1847, by Cyrus Dubois, says : "American Star is a chestnut sorrel, eight years old on the nth day of April, 1847, about 16 hands high, well proportioned, with good action and fine carriage, and can trot a mile in three minutes, which he tested on a bet of one hundred dollars or over. He was sired by the noted trotting horse, Mingo, of Long Island, who was got by old Eclipse. American Star's dam, Lady Clinton, the well-known trotting mare of New Jersey, was sired by Sir Henry." It is said that Mr. Seely when he owned him advertised him as part Canadian. W. H. Tremble, Newburgh, N. Y., excellent authority, said : "Old Ameri- can Star was a very compact chestnut horse, 15 hands ; could trot in 2 140. Cyrus Dubois owned him, about twelve miles north of Shawangunk ; then Ed. Seely of Goshen got him. From $5 to $15 was the price on common coarse mares. His mares here in Orange county contributed very much to the success of Hambletonian. The Stars were of fine disposition, the kind- est horses I ever saw, very tough and hardy. Star was the gamest horse we ever had in the country. All his colts were game. The dam of Dictator was a little black American Star mare about 14^ hands, badly hipped, own- ed by [. Hawkins, who bred her to Hambletonian and got Dexter and after- wards Dictator." J. G. Fechter, one of the oldest and best informed horsemen of New- burgh, N. Y., said : "We are more indebted to the Star blood for our trotters and fine roadsters than to any other that was ever in the county." Mr. Cline of Kingston, N. Y., said : "Seely's American Star was a very close, compact-made horse, with thinnish tail, not long neck, 1000 to 1050 pounds, heavy for his size. He was sorrel with star, white hind feet, perhaps 15 hands." Levi Shreider of Kingston, N. Y., said : " I saw American Star when Dubois owned him ; he was a noted horse then and about the only trotter we had in this section. He came here with quarter cracks and stood here six or seven years • had fine arched neck, but not very long, and fine ear ; very wide between eyes, with a straight, nice head. He was a close, com- 348-/ THE MORGAN HORSE pact, pony-made horse, and a very intelligent horse. He got well here and had good feet. He went from here to Columbia county, and afterwards Orange county people found his stock was trotting so fast they bought him." Sheriff Broadhead of Kingston, N. Y., said : "He was a smooth, square- built horse, 15^ hands ; traveled very wide behind ; had nice head, which he carried well up, and good ears. Lewis Le Fevre bred a stallion from him whilst here, a sorrel, solid chunk of a horse." Stephen Dubois, brother of Cyrus Dubois, said : " Star was a sorrel with a white stripe in his face clear down to the end of his nose ; both hind feet white above the pastern. A man who sent a mare to him and left her in the summer bought him in the fall. Star was not very large, though he ran up very high on the withers. He was good 15^ hands; carried flesh very easily ; very tough and hearty ; had a good slanting shoulder, light thin tail, fair quantity of mane, short back, blocky-built, well cut up under the throat, though not long neck ; ribbed up close and was a very powerful little horse. It was claimed he was running stock. Pie was a natural trotter and trotted very wide behind. My brother sold him to Jim Storms, who lived at or near Hudson, N. Y." Nathaniel Townsend, Passaic, N. J., born about 1814, and elected sheriff in 1863 and '66, said : " I came here April 29, 1835. Martin J. and Henry H. Berry each raised a colt from some horse. I do not know what the sire was, but Judge Berry's colt was afterwards known as American Star. His brother's colt was bay, 15^ hands, and I thought the best colt. He was bigger than Star, but not so stylish. This bay was kept a stallion until four years old, but I do not know what then became of him. "Judge Berry bought the dam of his horse in New York city. He want- ed a cheap horse to work on farm in the spring of year and bought this mare, giving twenty-five or thirty-five dollars for her. Judge Berry has re- peatedly told me that he knew nothing at all about her breeding, and I know he told me right, although, he said, it was stated, after she had her colt, that she was by the race horse Henry. She was a broken-down stage mare, a kind of a tall, light-colored mare with bad feet, sore forward. Berry told me he did not know any more about her than I did ; said the mare worked before a stage. She was about 16 hands, and probably eight or nine years old ; not what we call a very strong limbed mare ; not made up for a good w»ork horse, but quite a traveler. She didn't straddle as Star did. It was very natural for him to trot. He was a nice little horse and sold to Blauvelt for $250 or $300. He got his head up well, and went in good style. The dam looked like a pretty well bred mare. At that time the Henry stock was in its glory, and that was the reason it was said she was by him." Samuel P. Roam of Pompton Plains, N. J., said of the dam : "She was only common stock, no speed that I know of. She was getting along in age ; a bay mare with white face or stripe, nearly 16 hands, not heavy built. He did not have her a great while before he raised this colt. I never heard she DESCENDANTS OF SHERMAN MORGAN 348-;;* was blooded. She was slim built and had a slim tail ; guess she was used up when he got her; a good working animal and might have been well bred." SIRE OF O X c> "E O O rt o Foaled. n o'E !^ O 11 11 Sire of Dam.

Y., but previously by a butcher in New York city who had him of Lyle Weeks, also a butcher in Fulton Market. A very handsome and perfect small horse and a very fast trotter for his day. Got very good stock. W. C. Tremble, the well known horseman of Newburgh, N. Y., said : " Tom Thumb was a chestnut pony, blocky, stout-built, handsome, very handsome, a perfect beauty ; a perfect little horse. He was a trotter, one of the fastest in the county. That was in 1843. He was here some years." Mr. Hoyt of Goshen, N. Y., an old and experienced horseman, in an 348-/ THE MORGAN HORSE interview in 1886 said : "Tom Thumb was an exceedingly good horse, able to travel 18 miles an hour on the road. All his colts were much better than common. He was brown or dark bay, no marks, 14^ hands, blocky and lengthy and had a thick neck. Webber said there was no Canuck about him." G. H. Miller, deputy constable of Chester, N. Y., said in interview of 1886 : "Tom Thumb was bay, a small, nice, pretty horse as you ever saw, blocky, square in front and behind, round as an apple, rather shortish-made horse, what they call pony-built. His colts were small, blocky, nice little drivers. I came here expressly to work for Webber, and I think he had Tom Thumb as early as 1838." Jesse Wood of Sugar Loaf, N. Y., said : "Tom Thumb was a quite dark brown ; not tall, but heavy." Mr. McWhirter of Sugar Loaf said : "I bred to Tom Thumb. He was here just before Abdallah came and also after he came."

XVIII DESCENDANTS OF BLACK HAWK SHERMAN BLACK HAWK'S DESCENDANTS BLACK HAWK See Chapter VI. SHERMAN BLACK HAWK (NORTH OR MYRICK HORSE) Sherman Black Hawk fairly ranks second among the sons of Black Hawk, Ethan Allen alone standing before him. From him descends the family of Gen. Knox, with his large number of trotters, and excellent road- sters. The King Herod family is also from him, and Canada Black Hawk, whose progeny is so well and favorably known throughout the Province of Quebec; and many other branches of lesser note, but of great merit. Sherman Black Hawk was foaled in 1845, bred by Benjamin Peacock, but foaled the property of B. J. Myrick, both of Bridport, Vt. He was jet black with star; was 15^ hands high, and weighed about uoo pounds. His dam was a black mare, bred by Abner Wilcox, Bridport, Vt., and got by Smith's Liberty, reputed son of Doolittle's King William, or by Smith's Young Hamiltonian, son of Bishop's Hamiltonian. She was sold when three to Benjamin Peacock, who sold her to Paris Fletcher, and he to B. J. Myrick, all of Bridport. The second dam was a large black mare, one of a pair owned by Mr. Wilcox, and said to be by imported Matchem. In 1850, a half interest in Sherman Black Hawk was sold by Mr. Myrick to Lemuel North of Champlain, N. Y., and the remaining half interest, about 1856, to Dura Warren and David Bennett of Bridport. In the winter of 1856 Warren and Bennett bought Mr. North's half for $5550; and later Mr. Warren purchased Mr. Bennett's interest. In 1869, Darwin Rider of Middlebury, Vt., bought the horse and kept him at Middlebury two seasons, when he sold back to Dura Warren, then living in Massachusetts, where the horse was taken and died. He was kept at Bridport, Middlebury, in northern New York and in Massachusetts. He took ist premium at Vermont State fair in 1854, also at United States Agricultural fair, \Vest Philadelphia, Penn., 1856. Much of his stock was very handsome and excellent. It is impossible to tell with certainty the blood of the dam. Mr. B. J. Myrick says she was foaled in 1825, being just 20 when she produced Sherman Black Hawk. All that is known is that she was by a stallion owned by Allen Smith. But in 1824 and '25, and perhaps several years later, Mr. Smith owned the two stallions, Liberty and Pone, the latter a colt of the Bishop Hamiltonian ; the former supposed to have been a son of Doolittle's King William. Liberty was much the older, foaled about 1810; and was 350 THE MORGAN HORSE also the more famous. He was bay, 15^ hands, noo pounds; bred by Jacob Smith of Addison, Vt., foaled the property of Thomas Kingsland of Addison, and was got by a horse of English blood that stood at or near Addison, thought to have been Doolittle's King William, a son of imported King William. Pone (known in books as Young Hamiltonian) was bred by Judge Larrabee, Shoreham, Vt. ; was bay, 15 hands; foaled 1820; got by Bishop's Hamiltonian, from a dam by Leonidas, son of an English Hunter from the thoroughbred dam Miss Leeds ; 2d dam the Dr. Needham mare, that was brought from New Hampshire, whose pedigree is entirely unknown, though she is described as a small, trappy mare of the Morgan pattern. A fictitious pedigree has been given this 2d dam, and she has been said to be by imported Bellfounder. There was a young son of imported Bellfounder kept in New Hamp- shire about 1830, but as Bellfounder was not imported till 1822, it is certain he did not get the 2d dam of a horse foaled in 1820. Mr. B. J. Myrick tells us that he had always known the Peacock mare, dam of Sherman Black Hawk, and had always supposed her by Liberty. This was what her owners had claimed, and he went to Allen Smith to get Liberty's pedigree. Mr. Smith had never known Liberty's pedigree, but gave the pedigree of Pone, saying it was that of a better horse, and that the mare was by Pone. Mr. Myrick says Mr. Smith did not consult any records, and it is proven from men who worked for Mr. Smith in 1824 and '25, when he built his house, that mares were bred those years to both horses. It would certainly seem that the breeder and owners of the mare would have known better what horse got her than Mr. Smith stating from memory 25 years after the service. The " American Trotting Register " gives this mare as by Liberty and then calls Liberty a son of Bishop's Hamiltonian. In giving the sire of the mare as Liberty it is very likely correct ; in calling Liberty a son of the Bishop horse it is entirely wrong. Liberty was about as old as the Bishop horse, and bred as we have stated. In reference to the dam we have the following letter : " Father owned the mare you refer to. She was a good-sized mare, weighing noo pounds or more ; was 15^ hands high, I should think; a good traveler ; could have been made to go in three minutes, if she had been trained. We called her the old black mare. Father bought her of Deacon Abner Wilcox, when she was, I think, about three years old, for $80. The deacon called her dam Sarah. She was black, not quite so large as her colt, but a good one to go. We left Vermont in 1844, for the West, and sold the old black mare, then in foal, to Mr. Myrick. Her colt was what was known as the North Horse. I was born in 1824, and lived with father until 1844. Yours truly, HENRY B. PEACOCK". We have been able to learn of but one Matchem which stood in this vicinity. In the " Columbian Patriot ", published at Middlebury, is the follow- ing advertisement: "Paragon, chestnut, 16 hands, got by the famous imported dray horse, Matchem, well known in the State for his superior stock of colts.

He was black with star and snip, nose, flanks and stifles brownish, 15^ hands and weighed 1050 pounds. He was got by Vermont Hero, son of Sherman Black Hawk. His dam was a large, good-fashioned bay mare, bred by Oliver S. Lapham, Shoreham, Vt., got by Searcher, son of Barney Henry ; 2d dam light bay with star and white ankles behind, a fast quarter mare, traded for when five, about 1840, by Mr. Lapham of Wm. W. Hunsdon, Shore- ham, Vt., who bought her of Samuel Tichenor, Bridport, Vt., whose son, Rollin M., traded a pair of oxen for her with Clint. Gage, Panton, Vt. Mr. Tichenor represented that she was got by a Morgan horse, from a Post Boy mare. She was a fast runner. Mr. Hunsdon, her former owner, now of Ticonderoga, N. Y., is our informant. The statement that she was by Hill's Sir Charles, son of Duroc is entirely without foundation. Gen. Knox was sold to D. A. Bennett of Bridport, Vt. ; to Denny & Bush, Shoreham, Vt., January, 1857; to Col. T. S. Lang, Vassalboro, Me., for $1000, January, 1859 ; to Henry N. Smith, Trenton, N. J., 1872, for $10,000. He was kept at Fordham, N. Y., in 1872, and after that at the Fashion Stud Farm, Trenton, until his death, July 29, 1887. He was a plain but compactly-made horse, and got much elegant as well as fast stock. He was the winner of six races, and we believe was never beaten on the turf. He had a record of 2 131^, but had shown a trial in 2 124. He was used in the stud most of his life, and while in Maine did a very large business. After passing to Mr. Smith he covered comparatively few mares. We quote the following from an article on Gen. Knox, written by Col. Lang, his then owner, and published in the " Maine Farmer ", August, 1870 : He had small, well-formed ears, broad head between the eyes, tapering to a thin, well-defined nose, rather thick neck, excellent fore leg well under the body, hind leg quite remarkable for development of hock muscle — which he transmits to many of his colts — hock and knee joints well defined. The feet are perfect, the shell of unusual thickness and toughness, the body round and compact, the back short, and the loin as strong as can be found. I may add that in all his sweating and working he has never shown the first symp- tom of scratches or foul blood ; has never cut a hair upon his fore-feet in trotting or breaking. His temper is always good, always cheerful and full of spirits and ambition, and never nervous at the most exciting sights and DESCENDANTS OF SHERMAN MORGAN 359 noises. Strike him in anger or abruptly, and it must be a strong man to hold even when tired with trotting, yet entirely under control of the voice ; attaches himself readily to those who pet him, and when away from home on the boat or on the cars, lies down to rest readily if his groom lies down with him. While speaking of his intelligence, I will refer to the occasion of his coming in collision while at speed upon the Waterville grounds. He was run into, and his driver thrown out by parties going in opposite direction. By this accident Knox suffered seriously, having his breast and the space between his fore legs cut open nearly twenty inches long, and the skin entirely taken off a space one foot square, and the muscle lacerated shock- ingly ; yet in the presence of a large crowd, he, perfectly conscious of his injury, allowed himself to be sewed up without halter or strap upon him or moving from his tracks. When seven years old, Knox was drawn early from the stud, to be prepared to meet the Drew stallion, Gen. McClellan, then owned by G. M. Robinson, Esq., of Augusta, Mr. Robinson having by letter expressed his desire to bring the two horses together. Knox was fitted at the half-mile track at Skowhegan. He worked well in his private trials, showed 2 130, 2 128, and once 2 126. The day of the race Robinson declined to enter McClellan, he having been beaten a few days before, at the Maine State Agricultural show at Portland, by Hiram Drew, and Hiram was now present and had entered for the same sweepstakes. Knox beat Hiram easily in three straight heats, without a break, in 2 132. Knox was fitted for this race in 22 days from the service of the stud, having served 136 different mares since April. I then publicly withdrew Knox from the track, but I was called upon to rally the horses of Maine, by the trustees of the New England society, to meet and compete for the honors of New England at the fair at Springfield. I did not assume to speak for Maine, but I did assume to let Knox fight for the honor of Maine, in the absence of any better horse, against the chance of his coming home crestfallen. The result was Knox beat Draco and two other stallions who entered against him, without a skip, in 2 131^, 2 -.37 and 2 134. Horsemen who were there well know that Knox was held in hand the last half of each heat, scarcely jogging to the score in the first heat, as I walked to the wire with my hand upon the saddle, and for several rods before he passed the wire on his fastest heat. Knox had that season served since April 112 different mares, and left 15 awaiting him when he left home for Spring- field. In five days after leaving service I had him tried at Waterville, on a half-mile track. He trotted in 2 130, and repeated in 2 128. I started for Springfield on Thursday morning, arrived there Sunday morning, trotted him Thursday, and came back to Boston same night, making in all 21 days from the' time he was drawn from service until he had traveled upon cars and boat three days and nights without rest, won his race and was bound home. I never saw him in such spirits and fine condition as while at Springfield, and, after a close examination by the committee, he was awarded the first stock premium, as well as for speed. Whether the horse was looked upon as a trotter, the reader must judge, when I say that at a public table four prominent horsemen of New England publicly offered me £15,000, $20,000, $25,000 and $30,000 for him the evening after the race. If he was worth that for Massachusetts or New York, he was worth it for Maine, and I brought him home. Knox hrs r-.ot trotted since except in August, 1866. Although the horse was then in service, he was driven a half mile, in the presence of many spectators, without a break, in 1:12. Since April of the present year his' services have been called for each day, and will be an increase on the service of any year. Mr. Helm, in his work enticed "American Roadsters and Trotting 36° THE MORGAN HORSE Horses", says of Gen. Knox: "He spent nearly all his days, prior to 1872, in the State of Maine. A lucky State to have held one such sire, for he has been a most remarkable one. We have produced no stallion in our day which can surpass him. At present his reputation as a sire is based on what he did while owned in Maine ". S.REOF |||| Foaled. £Jj Year of Record. to C rt ^ 1J Sire of Dam.

HIGHLAND GRAY '2 : L>« Gray, 15^ hands, noo pounds; foaled 1867 ; bred by T. &. E. Keiley, East Poultney, Vt. ; got by Darkey, son of the Rounds Horse : dam gray, 15% hands, 1050 pounds, high headed with long neck, foaled about 1858, owned by Wm. Davis, Londonderry, Vt., a horse trader long since deceased, who traded her, when three, for a pair of steers, to D. R. Way, then of Shrewsbury, later of Springfield, Vt., who traded her to Keiley ; breeder and breeding entirely unknown. Mr. Davis' sons remember the mare and think she was bred in Londonderry. She is quite possibly a daughter of Weston's Gray Hawk, a noted stock horse that stood in Londonderry and vicinity for several years previous to 1861 and whose stock she is said to resemble. All pedigrees hitherto given to the mare are entirely fictitious. Our tracing of the mare was through Parris Lincoln, Castleton, Vt., to whom we were referred by Mr. Keiley. Owned by Keiley & Ford, Poultney, Vt., in which vicinity he was always kept. Died, spring, 1893. A model horse. SIRE OF ll|| Foaled. .5 -r ' = 8 Z c 5 ^ Sire of Dam. [don Horse.

He has been kept most of his life at Rochester, Minn., but made seasons at Oskaloosa and Cedar Falls, la. In a letter dated Clinton, la., 1885, Judge Hayes writes : "Star of the West is 26 years old, but is well preserved, full of life, vigorous, and apparently good for years of service. He is a horse of great style and sub- stance, and notwithstanding he has trotted all over the United States, in season and out of season, for some 17 years, he is without blemish or unsoundness. In his campaigns, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific, he justly acquired a reputation for speed, endurance and indomitable game second to no trotting stallion of his day.

James R. Best of Hudson, N.

When a daughter of Stockbridge DESCENDANTS OF SHERMAN MORGAN 465 Chief Jr. was bred to Volunteer, she foaled the most promising trotter the world ever saw. What son or daughter of his has proved his equal, taking age and size into consideration. A friend of mine was in Chicago when Gloster was shipped to California. When they brought him to the car a gentleman said : ' Don't ship him. I will giVe $50,000 '. The offer was refused ". Linsley says : " Is a well-proportioned, strong-going horse.

Hibbard writes : " I bought Marshall Chief of Mr. Goodrich in the fall of 1864; he had then got Primus, a phenomenal trotter, and with one exception the fastest four-year-old that had ever appeared in public and made a record of 2 136^. Primus was a pure-gaited and game trotter, and in his youth contended with the best horses in the country. I entered him at Detroit in the great stallion race (two-mile heats) and he won it in two straight heats, beating a large field of the best stallions in the State. I matched him against Warrior, who had shown his owner a half mile in i :o8, for $5000 a side and $1000 forfeit, which the Warrior party paid when the race was called. Primus trotted many races, and always with great speed and endurance. In Michigan he was never in the stud. I sold him, in 1866, to parties who took him to California, where he proved himself a worthy son of an illustrious sire. He produced Magdallah 2 133^, (one of the fastest horsesof the day, on the Pacific slope, second to Santa Claus in 2 122, 2 :2O, 2 :2i), Ewing 2 :2i^, and Tump Winston 2 124^.

Grandey of Vergennes,Vt., writes of this mare and her pro- duce : " The high-blooded English mare referred to in your letter was a dark bay mare of high and gay style, very dashing and rapid road gait and of great endurance. She raised eight colts from Black Hawk in eight succes- sive years — four of them were raised by Pierson on his farm at Shelburne (at the halves), the other four at Addison by E. Adams, on his farm in Addi- son (at the halves). Of these eight colts, four were horse colts and four were mares : four were bay color and four were black. Her second colt was the celebrated bay mare, known here in Vermont and in New England as 'Jenny Lind', bought of Capt. R,. W. Sherman by his brother, Benj. S., and she took several prizes at the New England and Vermont fairs. Two of the four colts raised by Adams were the popular and distinguished stallions ' Silverheels ' and ' Quicksilver ', which distinguished themselves at Spring- field, 111., and at St. Louis for their speed and style. Every colt of the eight was of good and superb size and style, and rapid and vigorous gait". Schamyl and Siples Horse were the other two stallions referred to. Sil- verheels got some colts while owned by breeder, and in spring of 1855 was sold to Gen. James W. Singleton, Quincy, 111., whose property he died in the fall of 1862. He was a horse of magnificent form, very fine disposition, and a natural trotter. His colts also trotted well. Gen. Singleton, in a letter to A. B. Wakeman & Son, Bedford, la., dated Singleton Park, Feb. 19, 1889, says : " Silverheels was a nice bay approaching a rosewood. He had no record. I kept him for breeding only. He trotted in the thirties at fairs and on my private track ". Received ist premium at Illinois State fair, 1857. ij g "2 "8 -^ lO'S'sc 7S « SIRE OF 'r°, C/2 c^ ^ 13 o hi ISS^^SI Sire of Dam.

Brown, Ticonderoga, N. V., got by Stonewall Jackson, son of Williamson's Black Hawk ; 2d dam an old, estray black mare cared for by B. B. Brown, entirely untraced. The pedigree hitherto given to the estray mare, as Betty Condon, by North America, was from Solon Lapham, Shoreham, Vt., who thought that she resembled a mare that he saw years before which had been sold by Terry Condon, and was the same mare. Mr. Condon states that he never owned or bred but one mare by North 564 THE MORGAN HORSE America, a sorrel, which went to Boston; all other foals bred by him from the dam referred to were by Sherman Black Hawk, and were black. It is possible this mare was one of these by Sherman Black Hawk, but apparently she was much too old. Her breeding is un- known. Aristos was sold, spring of 1888, to Lester Fish, Rutland, Vt. ; price reported, $10,000. We think he was kept the season of 1887 at Plattsburgh, N. Y. He carries himself proudly, and moves with the precision of machinery. Has trotted, in stud condition, a quarter in 33 seconds ; and had the distinction, for nearly eight years, of having got the horse which had trotted the fastest mile ever trotted, — H. B. Win- ship, 2:06 with running mate, in '1884. Aristos was awarded ist pre- mium for Morgan stallions at meeting of the Vermont Horse Breeders' association at Rutland, Vt., August, 1888, and has taken numerous other premiums. 1 £ S£|H0S 1 [Hawk- T.

His courage and ambition were without limit. He got about 150 colts of very uniform excellence, not only for speed, but for the carriage, style and beauty for which their sire was distinguished.

Mr. Stevens writes that he has the best 201 mile record of any horse in the world and has been driven a mile in 2 127^. This extraordinary drive Mr. Stevens' circular of 1881 describes as follows: "January, 1879, he made this record in his great match with George Gueyon for $1000 a side, the conditions of the race allowing Hessing to be ridden or driven, but was driven to sulky the whole distance — eight circuits to the mile, 201 miles in 24 hours; 105 miles being made in the last 10 hours, — Hessing being so for ahead at that time that Gueyon gave up the race. The horse came out so fresh that it was the opinion of the best judges that he could have added 15 or 20 miles more had it been necessary.". C. W. Lillie, referring to Jane, 3d dam of Hessing Jr., writes as follow from Independence, la. : " My brother's old Jane was sired by Green Mountain Morgan, the finest horse I ever saw. Young Jane, the daughter of old Jane, was sired by General Hibbard, a noble horse owned by a noble man. Green Mountain Morgan I think was sired by old Gifford Morgan ; my brother's matched mares, Old and Young Jane, were a magnificent span of mares. Gifford and Green Mountain Morgan were beauties and both dark chestnuts ; they had as much pride to appear well and seemed to enjoy it as much as any man or fine lady that ever lived. Green Mountain's dam was not a handsome mare, but it seemed to be a good cross. I have seen Green Mountain and old Gifford ridden up and down in front of a regi- ment by the colonel and adjutant at our old-fashioned musters, when every soldier in line would swing his hat and yell at the top of his voice ; and don't you believe those two horses enjoyed it. The old Morgans of Vermont were a noble race of horses, proud, courageous, good war horses and genteel for the wealthy as carriage horses. I came West 35 years ago ".

In the "Sentinel" of 1824, a horse called Young Morgan is advertised, by E. Thurston of Burlington, to stand at R. H.

He was a small horse, not over 900 pounds ; his colts were a little under size. He was kept in Chittenden county from the time Fisk sold until he died " This horse has frequently, but we think erroneously, been said to be by Sherman Morgan, and is so given in an advertisement of his son, Pilgrim Morgan, 1849.

The following is a copy of a certificate attached to an advertisement of Pilgrim Morgan by Victor Adams, dated April, 1849 : "We were the owners of the horse known in Chittenden county as the Dubois Morgan for several years before his death. He was sired by the celebrated Sherman Morgan. The Dubois Morgan was a very perfect and powerful horse of a beautiful bay color, and his stock generally proved very superior. We are well acquainted with the horse known as Pilgrim Morgan, sired by Dubois Morgan, owned by V. Adams, Esq., of Milton, Vt.

He did a very large business in the stud for some years, doing team work winters. His stock was sound and vigorous and made ex- cellent horses for all work.

Afterward they kept him in Bradford, Vt., two years, when he was sold to Messrs. Hamet & Butler, Burlington, Vt. In 1837 he went to Chicago.

The Emperor, Currier Horse and Jackman Colt I consider as valu- able stock horses as have ever lived in Vermont or New Hampshire. Dam of the Currier Horse was one of the most remarkable mares on the road be- tween Burlington and Boston. Richard Currier, my father, began keeping an inn in Enfield, N. H., over 80 years ago. He kept it 50 years. Cur- rier's tavern was well known by the traveling public before the days of rail- roads. He, like myself, was a great admirer of good horses, and to find them thought it necessary to go to Vermont, and was fortunate in getting one very fine gray horse of William Connor of Williamstown, Vt., and looked some time to find a mate, and finally purchased a fine mare of Nathan Blake of Corinth, Vt. These were as good a pair as there was between Montpelier and Boston. I have owned a great many horses, having from 3o to 90 some years, of different kinds, and from many States, but for general purpose horses, hitched to the carriage or plow, I have never yet seen the equal, all things considered, of the Morgan horse. For doing two days' work in one, living to old age and keeping sound, they have no superiors. Of the three old noted horses, viz. : Woodbury, Bulrush and Sherman, their stock varied ; under the saddle, the Woodburys rather excelled, but in harness I should prefer the Sherman or Bulrush.

Mr. Aaron Smith writes : " Danville Boy was a strongly Morgan-made horse, deep shoulders, broad on back, hips round and heavily muscled, small head, neck and ear, large eye and nostril, but naturally rather low-headed. In disposition he was very kind whilst I owned him, and he was very intelligent. He trotted in Canada in 2 133, but I often heard the remark from outsiders, when he was on the track, about starting to trot, that he could not trot because too thick-set ".

WALKER MORRILL 2:40 Bay with white face and three white feet, 15% hands; foaled 1869; bred by G. H.

Wright, Boston, Mass., 1870; E. C. Walker, Coldwater, Mich.; P. M. 632 THE MORGAN HORSE Slicer, Baltimore, Md., 1877 ; Fred Waddy, Accomack Co., Va. ; Wm. Hopps, Baltimore, Md. The following article by E. C. Walker (Veritas) is from the "Chicago Horseman", 1886: " It is a pleasant task for me to bring forward the following array of facts in the career of Walker's Morrill. It was Westward Ho ! for both of us in 1874; he, as a four-year-old, and I — well, let that pass. After five days' travel, shunting and jolting, we arrived at Coldwater, Mich., short of provisions, but provided with thousands of large circulars heralding the claims of the southern Michigan Stud Stables, of which Walker's Morrill was the junior member. A copy of that poster (circular) is now before me, and as the horse was never so strong as he is today, it may be interesting to recite what I then said of him, viz. : ' He is a very fast and promising colt, and being descended from a race of trotters for generations, his get must be fast and fine-looking. He is a youngster of remarkable power, combined with smoothness and finish all over, and in motion is very attractive, his gait being as square and level as ever was seen. He is a counterpart of his sire in size, color, form and general appearance. He was got by Winthrop Morrill, out of the dam of Sam Curtis 2 132^ (since lowered his record to 2 128). Win- throp Morrill's dam was by a son of Royal Morgan ; 2d dam by Morgan Eagle ; 3d dam by Bulrush, son of Justin Morgan ; and 4th dam by Kasson Horse. Thus I wrote of Walker's Morrill nearly 13 years ago, and while on the subject of his sire, may quote from H. T. Helm's work, entitled 'American Roadsters and Trotting Horses', as follows: 'Win- throp Morrill is a trotting sire of remarkable success. He stands side by side with Gen. Knox and Daniel Lambert' ; and from J. W. Thompson's 'Book of Noted Maine-Bred Horses', I extract the following: 'His get are uniformly of great courage and excellent trotting action. He has to his credit nine in the 2 :3O list, with a sufficient number between 2 :4O and 2 :3O to make a remarkable showing as a sire of speed. By force of his own merit he won a place of honor and distinction'. The dam of Walker's Morrill was got by the Eaton Horse. Mr. Thompson states that the Eaton Horse was a horse of immense size and substance, 16^ hands, weight 1450 pounds, and that his daughters were producers of fast and useful animals. But to the career of Walker's Morrill. He stood in Hillsdale, Mich., the seasons of 1875 and '76. After his stud season of 1875 he started in four races, and won three of them, taking second money in the fourth. In 1876 he made a full spring season, and 10 days afterward, viz., July 27, at Grand Haven, Mich., began his series of victories, most of them from six to eight-heat races. Notably, at Niles, Mich., where he trotted the fourth and fifth heats in 2 137, beating Edward 2 =19, and others. The following spring I sold him to P. M. Slicer of Baltimore, Md. He left some excellent colts in southern Michigan. Chief among them are Kitty Van 2 124, and F. M. Halloway's rangy bay stallion, Brick, good for 2 :3O. Misfortune overtook his new owner, and Morrill's talents were buried for many years on the eastern shore of Virginia and Maryland. Luckily, however, his present owner, Mr. Wm. Hopps, a successful merchant of Baltimore, came to his rescue, and in one short season proved his superior gifts as a sire of speed, stamina and trotting tenacity. The proof was furnished by his colts at the fall meeting of 1886. At Oxford, Penn., Gray Morrill, 16 hands, won a seventh heat and the race in 2 138^, and took ist premium in the showing. He also demonstrated that he could beat 2 :3O on a mile track. At Easton, Md., bay mare Mollie Morrill, 15^ hands, four years old, after dropping two heats, defeated Cy- press 2 =30^ and others, and easily made a record of 2 :34^. Clay Mor- rill, bay colt, 151^ hands, foaled 1883, record 2 134 *^, proved a winner at Dover, Del., beating, among others, Mollie Morrill. They trotted neck and DESCENDANTS OF BULRUSH MORGAN 633 neck to the half in i 112^, and won the admiration of John H. Phillips and other skillful whips. These colts and a fleet of others, destined to rival their deeds, are from mares of common stamp and breeding. Despite the fact that he is not a pampered favorite of fashion, even its slavish followers must pause and consider, while a better class of mares, the property of reflective breeders, will gravitate towards the stable of Mr. Sol. Peppin, Easton, Md., where Morrill stands at $50 the season". c "3 SIRE OF 2 || !|f|§| « Sire of Dam. p w &2 2 *"£ >3*^'~ & Marendes gr 112:17% 1884 1889-91 1891 10 27 iSherman Morgan Jr. Kitty Van b m 2 :24 1876 1882-84 1883 8 i 9 Magna Charta Molly Morrill b 1^2:28% 1872 1886-90 1889 5 i 9 !

Blanchard, Phillips, Me., who kept him there one season and then sold him to some person in Portland, Me. Dr. D. L. Harlow, now of Louis- ville, Ky., writes : " Young Morrill, when two, sired three colts. One was Lightfoot, bred by me, and the others were mares. I was greatly disappointed at the size and style of Young Morrill, for the Manchester Morrill, as all who have seen him will tell you, was of an animated nature, and his value was more than doubled at the word go. I wrote to S. H. Edgerly, who then owned the. Perkins Young Morrill, of my disappointment, and he replied : ' Will give you $300 for your colt on your description of him when four months old', but I did not deliver him. The four colts he sired at two years old were out of ordinary mares, yet two of them were sold at the farmyard for $600 each, when none of our former stock would sell for $100. John Hill of Bos- ton got the Pinkham colt, kept her one year and sold her to parties in New York for $5000. Mr. Parlin of Boston sold the Bradley mare for $2000. I sold the mare Reckless to Proctor of Boston for $875. Neither Young Morrill nor Lightfoot ever saw a track while I owned them. Young Morrill was a good block of a horse, docile disposition, but made no pretense to speed or style ".

Harlow, writes : " Light- foot had sharp withers and deep full chest. He ran several races at Phil- lips, Me., in a field of a dozen horses and came out first.

I was very much surprised and pleased to find that two such horses were in existence, wrote Mr. King for further information and have his reply, stating, that they are closely matched in size, color and disposition, and roadsters of great endurance and so kind that any lady or child can drive them. * * * * And I assert here, that if he has what Sherman, Wood- bury, or Gifford were, he has a horse of more value to the masses than Al- mont, or Volunteer, or George Wilkes. This seems such a very extravagant 6 7 4 THE MOR GAN HORSE assertion that I have to stop and look it over and take the sober second thought ; but, the more I look at it and think of it, the more I am impressed with a sincere conviction of its truth, because I am taught by experience that a good Morgan stallion crossed with a miscellaneous lot of mares will get more horses that everybody wants for industrial pursuits and domestic necessities and enjoyments than any other ".

Sold, 1853, to James Gates, Worcester, Mass., and exhibited by him at the Massachusetts State fair, 1858. L. F. Herrick of Littleton, Mass., writes in the "American Cultivator", of February 13 1886: "Some time in 1820, Owen Brown took a mare which was one-half English blood from Sutton, and bred her to Howard Morgan, a son of Sherman, the produce being a handsome filly. Not long after it was dropped, Messrs. C. and L. Wheelock of Sutton, Mass., were at Brown's place and bought the filly, taking her to Sutton, where, under their watchful care, she developed into a beautiful-styled animal, weighing, when heaviest, 1115 pounds. She had a local reputation of being an untiring roadster and possessing wonderful intelligence. In the summer of 1842 the Messrs. Wheelock, with three others, induced the owner of Green DESCENDANTS OF WO ODB UR Y MOR GAN 695 Mountain Morgan to bring that horse to Sutton, on guaranteeing him four mares at $8 each. One of the mares which they bred was this daughter of Howard Morgan, and on June 22, 1843, she foaled a colt that was christened Massachusetts Morgan, which grew to be one of the finest-styled and fastest horses of his day, weighing 1000 pounds. He, like his sire, was a noted parade horse, always being in great demand at musters. He was of a beauti- ful chestnut color and a typical Morgan in build. His disposition was perfect. He was used on the plow before cattle and as a horse for general farm work, and at the same time for stud service. As a sire he was a success. His colts were highly valued as driving animals, one of them selling for $1625 in 1855. His best colt, known as Jim, trotted the half-mile track in Worcester, when 20 years old, in 2 138, and drew his owner from Worcester to Sutton, seven miles, in 20 minutes. He lived to be 28 years old. Another of his colts was Worcester Boy, a horse which showed wonderful speed and won a number of races. Besides these three, he sired many others which were very speedy and very fine roadsters. The Messrs. Wheelock sold him in 1853 to the late James Gates of Worcester, Mass., which was be- fore his star as a sire had commenced to shine. While in the hands of Mr. Gates he was shown at many horse fairs, doing his mile in three minutes and winning many prizes. He probably did more for the horse stock of Worcester county than any horse that ever stood here. He died soon after Mr. Gates disposed of him".

Middlebury, Vermont Montpelier, Vermont 741 XXVII MISCELLANEOUS THE VETO MORGANS This family sprung from the Gillett Colt, whose sire, as stated by his breeder, was a son of the original Morgan. This was very probably Sherman Morgan, that stood at Montpelier and Waterbury, Vt., the season that the Gil- lett Colt was probably got (see Wicked Will), and very likely had his days in Chittenden county the same season. It is possible, however, that Justin Mor- gan, that stood in Williston and Hinesburgh (both in Chittenden county, Vt.), in 1795, left a son in that region, of which there is no history, that was the sire of the Gillett Colt. GILLETT COLT Chestnut; foaled 1822; bred by Reuben Gillett, Burlington, Vt. ; got by a son of Justin Morgan. Dr. W. H. Harwood, in an interview, 1890, with Sidney Gillett, born 1816, son of Reuben Gillett, learned that the latter moved with his family from Hinesburgh to a farm in Burlington, a few miles out of the city, in 1821, and remained there two years. The colt was foaled on this farm, 1822, and was taken by Mr. Gillett to Middlebury, Vt., when he moved there in 1823. Sidney Gillett states that his father always said that this colt was got by a son of the original Justin Morgan horse. GILLETT HORSE Brown roan, about 1050 pounds ; foaled 1825 ; bred by Reuben Gillett, then of Middlebury, Vt. ; got by Gillett Colt, which see : dam Reuben Gillett's Morgan mare, which (as his son, Sidney Gillett, states to Dr. Harwood), he used to say was "by the old Vermont Morgan". Taken, 1827, from Mid- dlebury, Vt., to Burke, N. Y., by Reuben Gillett, who sold to J. G. Dickey, Constable, N. Y., 1830; afterwards drowned in the St. Lawrence. His stock proved valuable. BILL MORGAN (KENYON) Chestnut, dark mane and tail, 15^ hands, 1040 pounds; foaled about 1830 ; bred by Thomas Thompson, Constable, N. Y. ; got by Gillett Horse, son of Gillett Colt : dam sorrel or chestnut, brought from Plainfield, N. H., by Mr. Thompson, said to be by Justin Morgan. Bought, when three, by Aaron Scranton, who sold to Daniel and Isaac Kenyon of Cornish, N. H., where he was kept until about 1849. Died, 1859, the property of J. F. Bar- nard, Cohoes Falls, N. Y.

Kept in Clinton county, 1851 to 1856, and a while at West Constable, N. Y. He also stood in Canada West. He was a very handsome and stylish horse, but short- gaited ; could trot in about 3 130 to road wagon. Got good stock. C. H. Coonly, Chateaugay, N. Y., writes : "Veto was the best horse in his day that was in this part of the country for appearance and stock". W. H. Harwood, M. D., of Chasm Falls, N. Y., to whom we are largely indebted for information on the renowned family of Veto Morgans, says : " Never has there been a family of horses more intensely inbred to the Mor- gan strain than the Vetoes. And never did horses show the characteristics of the family more than they. Scattered in various parts of the Union and in Canada, they are becoming more and more appreciated. The family is owned and prized in various parts of New England, as well as in the Middle and Western States ". Sire of dams of Cyclone 2 :3O and Florence S. 2 :25%.

BONAPARTE (NAPOLEON, JUDEVINE HORSE) Dapple bay, 1000 to noo pounds ; said to be by the Hawkins Horse, son of Justin Morgan. Brought, about 1822, it is thought, from near Stan- stead, P. Q., to Charleston, N. H., by Messrs. Judevine and Holton and kept by them in that neighborhood several years. Owned, about 1825, by Luke Brown, Springfield, Vt., who probably bought of Judevine and sold to Levi Bixby, also of Springfield, who owned him a number of years. Also owned at Springfield by Mr. Lee and by Mr. Olney, who traded him to Elisha 744 THE MORGAN HORSE Thompson, who moved to Landgrove, Vt., where the horse is said to have been drowned. He was a fine-appearing horse, and a fast trotter, though in his old age had ringbones and became cross. Nathan Robinson, born at Weathersfield, Vt., 1812, says: " James Work owned or tended old Bona- parte a number of years at North Springfield. He was a thick-set, bay horse of good size, called a Morgan horse, and showed it in his build ". Mr. Lewis Russell, East Middlebury, Vt., born in Springfield, Vt., about 1812, where he lived till 1833, says: " Levi Bixby had old Napoleon and his son, called Young Napoleon. The old horse came from Canada. Both were very fine horses, good stout horses and much used in the stud. They were Morgan horses, blocky-built and very stylish. The old horse was about noo and the young horse about 1000 pounds. I had charge of the young horse the season of 1830, when he was four years old. I am sure they were called Morgan horses, but cannot give their pedigree ". F. A. Weir says that Mr. Holton said Bonaparte was by the Hawkins Horse, son of Justin Morgan. Sire of the dam of Barnard Morgan. YOUNG HAWKINS Dark brown, 15 hands, 950 pounds ; foaled 1828 ; bred by David Frost, Shefford, P. Q. ; got by Hawkins Horse, son of Justin Morgan : dam black.

Taken, when four, by his breeder, in a team toward Montreal, and traded for a bay mare. An excellent horse and fast runner. FROST HORSE Dark bay or brown ; foaled about 1829 ; bred by Jeremiah Frost, Water- loo, P. Q. ; got by Hawkins Horse, son of Justin Morgan. Sold to Len. Knowlton, Bolton, P. Q., who kept him till quite old, when he was taken to Stanstead. He is said to have got very fast and excellent stock. BRANDYWINE Dark bay with heavy black mane and tail, about 14^ hands, 950 pounds ; said to be by Justin Morgan. Brought to Mercer, Me., about 1829, by a Mr. Bean and sold to Joshua Young, who kept him about three years and sold to a Mr. Arnold of Boston, Mass., a relative of his wife. A. J. Downs, an old resident of Mercer, Me., under date of June 20, 1890, writes as follows: "The Morgan horse, Brandywine, was brought into this town about the year 1829 by a Mr. Bean, and sold to Joshua Young, DESCENDANTS OF BRANDYWINE 745 of this town. Mr. Bean sold him to Mr. Young as a son of the old Morgan or the original Morgan horse. The name of Justin Morgan was not known about here at that time ; but that he was what Mr. Bean recommended him to be was never disputed or doubted at that time or ever after. I never knew or heard anything about the dam of Brandywine. He was a dark bay with black, thick, heavy mane and tail, black legs and long fore-top that came nearly down to his nose. He was about 14^ hands high ; would weigh but little short of 1000 pounds. He had a deep, broad chest, full-breasted, large arm and good flat leg. I do not know how old the horse was when Mr. Young bought him ; I think he must have been well matured or he could not have stood the work Mr. Young put upon him. Mr. Young owned the largest and best farm in Mercer and did a great deal of work, and Brandywine had to do his part of it in addition to stud service. I remember being at the raising of a barn when Mr. Young came with the horse in the afternoon ; he said he had plowed on his interval with Brandywine and another horse two acres that day. When hauling corn up from his in- terval he got on more than his oxen could haul ; he told his man to go to the barn and get Brandywine and hitch him on. The man said he never saw a horse pull so in his life ; he settled down so it seemed as if his belly was not more than 18 inches from the ground; then the load moved. My father bred a mare to Brandywine and she had a colt which he sold when grown for $100. Brandywine's colts were usually bay, a few sorrel and chestnut; they made very good horses. All the fault I ever heard found with them, they were called rather small, those from small mares, but somehow they were always bought up ; as soon as fit for sale, somebody seemed to want them, so that in a few years not a Brandywine was to be found ". Charles Hough of Quebec, a noted horseman, owner of Grey Eagle, Jean Baptiste and other noted Canadian sires, and for 50 years proprietor of fine stables in Quebec, bought near Three Rivers, P. Q., in the forties, a horse called Brandywine that was said to be the originator of the family in Canada. He took him to Quebec and shortly afterwards sold him to a relative, Mr. Truro o Halifax, where the horse soon after died. This we have from his son, now con- tinuing his father's business in Quebec, who says that this original Brandywine was a Morgan horse, brought from the States, and was the progenitor of the Brandywine family in Canada. BRANDYWINE (COBB'S) Dark bay, black points, 15^ hands, noo pounds ; foaled June n, 1843 '•> bred by Jean-Baptiste Gaudette, Gentilly, P.

Beaupre, Yamaska, Can., who sold him, July, 1853, for $400, to Aaron Cobb, Hebron, Me., whose property he died, two or three years after. Mr. Beaupre" certifies that Brandywine trotted in 2 132, at Berthier, P. Q., 1853. Mr. Beaupre also informs us that Brandywine got many colts in Canada, a number of which were kept as stallions. 746 THE MORGAN HORSE SIRE OF o x 3* .•d i> £* fV O aj 1 & 1* i!l n d o Ho; 8 "rf g o « Sire of Dam.

Q., and said to be of Mor- gan origin. A horse of great celebrity in the part of Canada where he was owned. He was lengthy, rangy and had great style. Mr. John McGuire, a very well-known and intelligent horseman of St. Cesaire, says : " Bosquet got DESCENDANTS OF PAPINEAU 749 this horse when a colt at St. Dennis of a man by the name of Lucie, who traded for him with some one from Vermont, as I undertood, and he was called a Morgan. A number of stallions were raised from him, one called the La Rose Horse, owned at St. Jean-Baptiste by A. M. La Rose, a brown bay, not as rangy or as tall as his sire, dam a French mare ; another called the Quebec Horse, bred and owned by John Bosquet of St. Cesaire, i$% hands, dark chestnut, 1000 to noo pounds, and a trotter. Stallions were also raised from these sons and the family became quite extensive. The Bosquet Horse died about 1837 ". The most extraordinary stories are told of the distances this horse was ridden in a day by Mr. Bosquet, who was one of the leaders in the political agitations of those times in Canada, and after- ward exiled. It is said he frequently rode the horse over 100 miles in a day, and that his usual rate of speed was 15 miles an hour. Location and time suggest the possibility of this horse being the progenitor of St. Lawrence. PAPINEAU Dapple gray, nearly white when old, 15^3 hands, 1050 pounds; foaled about 1828 ; said to be Morgan, and very possibly by the the Hawkins Horse, son of Justin Morgan. Brought from Canada, together with a black stallion, about 1833, by Ebenezer Pike of Cornish, X. H. He was kept several sea- sons at Groton,Vt., and probably also stood at Peacham, Vt. ; then was pur- chased by William Grant of Groton, who kept him till about 1840. He probably then passed to a Mr. Craig of Xewbury, of whom he was purchased by C. M. Huckins, Corinth, Vt., who kept him a year and sold to James Wallace, Newbury, Vt. Wallace kept him about three years, and sold him to Nathaniel Burnham of Xewbury. Robert Wallace, Xewbury, says : " My brother, James Wallace, owned Papineau, about 15*2 hands, 1000 pounds; stood up pretty well and a pretty-styled horse. He was thick-breasted, close packed up like the Morgan. He was a smart goer ". Erastus Baldwin, who at one time owned Farmer's Beauty, son of Young Papineau, writes : " I knew the Papineau Horse, but do not know his sire. Do not know where he came from, but he was called a Morgan horse". YOUNG PAPIXEAU (PECK'S) Bay ; foaled 1837 ; bred by J. J. Peck, Groton, Vt. ; got by Papineau, which see : dam chestnut, noo pounds, a noted roadster, owned by Jonas Tucker, Newbury, Vt., and hired by Peck, on account of her Morgan blood and superior merit, to breed to Papineau. A. M. Heath, son of the breeder of Farmer's Beauty, and I. M. Ricker, Groton, Vt., say she was by a dark bay or brown one-eyed son of Sherman Morgan owned in Han- over, N. H., and then standing in Xewbury, Vt., whose dam was a Morgan mare. Young Papineau was a good-sized and very handsome colt. According to our best information he got three foals when two years old, among them Farmer's Beauty, and died before the next season. FARMER'S BEAUTY Bay with black points, 15 hands, 1080 pounds; foaled 1840; bred by 750 THE MORGAN HORSE Dr. Horatio W. Heath, Groton, Vt. ; got by Peck's Young Papineau, son of Papineau : dam Peg, bay, about 1000 pounds, a favorite mare with Dr. Heath and his family, and a very famous roadster, called " the best mare in those parts", said to be by Sherman Morgan. Sold, spring of 1842, to Alden G. Heath, Topsham,Vt., who, spring of 1843, sold to Erastus Baldwin of Wells River, Vt. Mr. Baldwin sold him, same spring, to David M. Taggart, Goffstown, N. H., whose property he died, 1861. It had long been supposed that Farmer's Beauty was a son of .Gifford Morgan. In the winter of 1886-87 we employed Allen W. Thomson to examine this pedigree for us, which he did, bringing out the fact that he was got by Young Papineau. Our further investigations have brought to light additional facts. We append two letters from A. M. Heath of Groton,Vt., son of Dr. H. W. Heath, breeder of Farmer's Beauty, the first dated July 21, 1888, and forwarded to us by Mr. I. N. Hall : " I am a son of H. W. Heath. When a boy, my father owned a very noted mare named Peg. A neighbor, J. J. Peck, owned a two-year-old Pa- pineau stallion out of the Tucker mare by One-Eyed Morgan. I overheard a conversation between my father and Peck, and Peck told my father that a colt from father's mare and his colt would unite the four great strains of the Morgan blood. They traded and the result was Beauty ". The second was written on the back of a list of questions which we sent to Mr. Heath June 26, 1889: "The dam of Beauty I find was a Sherman Mor- gan. His sire was Young Papineau. Old Papineau was a very beau- tiful horse. Young Papineau was from the celebrated Tucker mare — as I have already stated, full-blooded Morgan. Young Papineau was two years old when he sired Beauty, and he died in a few months after. He only sired three colts. Old Papineau was a beautiful dapple gray. Young Papineau was dark dapple bay ". Farmer's Beauty is described by those who knew him as very intelli- gent, a fine roadster and parade horse, and a superior stock-getter. w"2 ^ §8 T3 ^•d "O -g 1 M C -p M SIRE OF .2 * & QJ (* | ITS s§!ll°I Sire of Dam. rj C/3 ex >H^ PS <• a Taggart's Abdallah Wava br h gr m 2^6 8:52% 1859 1870-72 1875 1872 1875 i 2 7 Races won, 3.

Brought, when four, from Canada, near the line, to St. Albans, Vt., by Frank Stone, and passed in turn to E. K. Conklin, proprietor of Hunting Park Course, near Philadelphia, 1853; to Joseph Brown, silk merchant, same city ; to M. V. Brown & Bro., Pittsburg, Penn. ; to James Torrence, Gamble's, Penn., who kept him at Lawn Ridge, 111., 1865, at Princeville, 111., one or two seasons, in care of Thomas Powell, and in Mahaska and Jasper counties, la. Died, when very old, near Newton, la. He was a horse of Morgan type and pattern. The " Chicago Breeders' Gazette" said of him: "He was a good horse, possessed great endurance, and looked like a high-bred Morgan horse, which he probably was ". L. Sanderson, attorney of Queen City, Mo., but formerly a resident of Frank- lin county,Vt., where he owned the noted stallion Long's Sir Henry, writes : " When I left Vermont, Mr. Gadcomb and Sanderson were residents of St. Albans. I knew the horse referred to in your letter well, but not his pedigree, except he was a true representative of the Morgan stock ". After he went West it was stated in his advertisement that he was im- ported to Canada from France ; but L. R. Sanderson, one of his alleged own- ers before Stone, and who was then of St. Albans, writes us from Boulder, Col., that he had no knowledge of any such imported colt ; and we have learned that Louis Barbou, his alleged importer, who lived at La Prairie, traded in stock, but did not import it. It is evident that this statement of the origin of Vermont Boy was fictitious. Vermont Boy was noted for his endurance, and was fast for his time ; he won several trotting races at long distances. His son, Reconstruction, was his stable companion during his latter years, both being owned by James Torrence. The get of Vermont Boy were generally very excellent horses.

Died at a fair at Sandy Creek, N. Y., fall of 1870. He could trot very fast for a short distance and got a great many speedy colts. W. A. Searles, formerly of Jefferson Co., N.

CLAIR Very dark brown, nearly black, tan-colored flanks, little white on inside of left hind foot, coat fine with small white hairs through it, 15^ hands, 1015 pounds, very strong and well-muscled, compactly built, wide between the eyes, deep through chest, withers well up, had long and heavy mane and tail and as good legs and feet as ever were on a horse ; would nip the groom sometimes, but of a very intelligent and generally kind disposition; foaled about 1843 ; said to have been bred in Illinois, and got by a Morgan horse taken there from Vermont : and dam Canadian. Taken across the plains to California, 1849, and driven into Placerville (then Houghtown) in the fall of that year, in the lead of an ox team, by a man whose name is forgotten and there sold and ridden to Sacramento, where he was owned successively by Presley Dunlap, Burton Lee, Roberts & Olan, and William Reynolds, and, 1856, was purchased by John E. Miller, Sacramento, who kept him for stud service every season thereafter till August, 1864, when he was burned up in the stable. In the stud he was popular, did a large business and got from 600 to 700 colts, almost invariably bay or brown. We first learned of Albert Chapman, Esq., of Middlebury, Vt., that St Clair was represented and advertised in California as a Morgan horse, and that from the characteristics of the horse and other circumstances there could be little doubt but that the reputation was true. In 1885 we received through the courtesy of E. H. Miller, Jr., secretary of the Central Pacific railroad,, San Francisco, the fullest attainable information as to the origin and history of St. Clair, and later, in a personal interview, he gave us the above description. Mr. Miller is a gentleman of the highest character, 768 THE MORGAN HORSE and one of the leading business men on the Pacific coast. His letter and our interviews with him have been published in full in the " Middlebury Regis- ter". Mr. Miller states, in substance, that in 1872 and 1873 he made a most thorough search to trace the pedigree of St. Clair. He found Philip Roberts, then a highly respected and successful merchant of Grass Valley, Cal., and of him learned the facts above given as to the horse's advent to California, Mr. Miller says that Mr. Roberts was a very reliable man, and, at the time of making the statements to him, had a wonderfully clear memory of occur- rences of California's early days. He had been formerly a clerk for A. T. Stewart & Co., New York. Reaching California at a very early date and finding himself out of employment (as he told Mr. Miller), at the sug- gestion of some friend he bought a horse and dray and went to carting. That horse was St. Clair. One day he was stopped on the street by a man who said he brought the horse across the plains ; that he was a very fine horse ; and talked a great deal about him and finally gave his pedigree, which, be- cause the man was so enthusiastic about the horse's breeding, Mr. Phillips wrote out in his memorandum book and copied in his ledger, but the memo- randum was lost and the ledger burned up in a fire. But Mr. Miller took down the statement of Mr. Roberts, and furnished us the following copy : "Copy OF STATEMENT OF PHILIP ROBERTS. SACRAMENTO, May 2, 1873. "Mr. Roberts told me this day that in the spring of 1851 he saw the man who brought old St. Clair across the plains, who told him that old St. Clair was driven by him into Houghtown (now Placerville) in the lead (single) of one yoke of cattle, in the fall of 1849 : that he came from Illinois, near Spring- field, and was sired by a Morgan horse from Vermont, and out of a Canadian mare; that this Morgan horse made the season of 1842 there, and that old St. Clair was foaled in 1843. San Francisco, June 3, 1885. Copy of statement made to me at date given. (Signed) E. H. MILLER, Jr." Under date of June 2, 1885, Mr. Miller wrote : "Replying to yours of May 19, I enclose copy of first stud bill of old St. Clair. I suppose the original bill in my possession is the only one in existence. I have also a bill for the year 1857, which is almost an exact duplicate of the one for 1856. You understand that J. E. Miller said the pedigree as given in the bill was made out of whole cloth ; that at the time of making the pedigree he had no facts to base it on. That is, no doubt, the case so far as names of horses, men and places go, but I am of the opinion that Mr. Roberts had informed Mr. Miller that the man who brought the old horse across the plains had said the horse was sired by a Morgan horse, out of a Canadian mare, and that Mr. Miller stated those facts, but he extended the pedigree as it appears in the bill. The reason why Mr. Miller gave Michigan as the place he (the horse) came from I think I have learned since receipt of your last letter. A person here, I knew, had helped Mr. Miller make up the original bill, and a ST CLAIR 769 day or two ago I asked him about it again, and he said that he himself came from Michigan, and knew something about horses here, and that he natur- ally made the horse come from Michigan ". In a letter dated May 5, 1885, referring to the stud bill of J. E. Miller, Mr. E. H. Miller states that Philip Roberts told him that he (Roberts) told J. E. Miller about the time he was getting out the stud bill what the man who brought the horse to California had told him, Roberts ; but that J. E. Miller? on inquiry, 1873, did not remember the fact. However that may be, J. E. Miller issued the stud bill given below in 1856-57, and in 1858-60-61-62, in the " Sacramento Daily Union", advertised " The Morgan Horse St. Clair ", giving no further pedigree. Mr. Miller has no doubt but that the represen- tations made to Mr. Roberts by the man who brought the horse across the plains were substantially correct. (COPY OF STUD BILL) The celebrated full-bred Morgan horse, St. Clair, will stand this sea- son at $10 for the single service, $15 for the season, every day in the week (except Fridays and Saturdays) at Miller's Ranch, four miles below Sacramento, east of Sutterville ; on Fridays and Saturdays at Miller's stable, Sacramento, corner I and Fourth streets, from the ist of March to the ist of July, 1856. PEDIGREE St. Clair was foaled at St. Clair, Michigan, in 1845 ; sired by Young Mor- gan ; Young Morgan was by the celebrated Morgan horse, Green Mountain Boy ; Green Mountain Boy was sired by the well known horse Cock of the Rock, owned by Mr. George Bellows of Windsor, Vt. Cock of the Rock was sired by the original Morgan horse, Sherman Morgan, owned at Montpelier, Vt., from whom all the Morgan stock originated. St. Clair's dam was a full-bred Canadian, and known as a fast pacer, and owned by Col. Young of St. Clair, Michigan. St. Clair was purchased by Mr. Jones of Detroit, and brought to California, 1849, and sold to Mr. Tilman. Mr. Tilman sold to Presley Dunlap of this city ; Mr. Dunlap to B. Lee ; Mr. Lee to Messrs. Roberts & Olan ; Mr. Olan to William Reynolds ; and from thence to the present owner. St. Clair is dapple black, u years old, 15% hands high, thick set, and a fast pacer, and can pace faster than any other stallion in California that is standing for mares this season. A match can be had from $100 to $1000. For particulars concerning this celebrated horse the proprietor is permitted to refer to Presley Dunlap, John Bush, Barton Lee, C. P. Covey & Co., Thomas Holmes, Live Yankee Horse Doctor, Sacramento ; R. Arthur, San Francisco. March 24, 1856. J. E. MILLER, Proprietor. Mr. E. H. Miller states that the names of Col. Young and Mr. Tilman in this bill are fictitious; the tracing from Dunlap is genuine. Mr. Miller has an impression that Mr. Phillips told him the sire of St. Clair was represented to have been bay and that he went back from Illinois to Vermont, but Mr. 770 THE MORGAN HORSE Miller has no minute of such statements. Mr. Phillips is dead. The man who brought St. Clair to California is said to have moved, with his wife and two children, to a wayside hotel on the Auburn road, about 12 miles from Sacramento, and after keeping the hotel for a time, moved to Oregon, after which Mr. Miller could get no trace of him. We have made ineffectual effort to trace him, and have also found it as yet impossible to designate with cer- tainty the horse in Illinois that was the sire of St. Clair. But there is no reason to doubt the principal statement, that St. Clair was got by a Morgan horse and was out of a Canadian mare. The Barden Morgan was taken to Illinois, 1837, and kept, as far as known, in Cook, Du Page and McHenry counties till his death in 1853. He both paced and trotted. D. S. Putnam, Esq., now of Rockefeller,!!!., formerly of Bethel, Vt., where he owned Putnam Morgan, writes that all Barden knew of his (Barden Morgan's) pedigree, was that his sire was Cock of the Rock, son of Sherman Morgan. Barden Mor- gan was much such a horse as St. Clair. It may have been he, or a son of his, that got St. Clair. Mr. Phillips gave J. E. Miller, when he was getting up the above stud bill, the facts, then comparatively fresh in his memory, that had been stated to him about the pedigree, as accurately, doubtless, as his memory permitted, and these facts, as Mr. Miller has suggested, were un- doubtedly used in the pedigree, parts wanting being supplied by imagina- tion. The statement in the bill is that St. Clair was by Young Morgan, by Green Mountain Boy, by Cock of the Rock, by Sherman Morgan. It will be noted that you have but to put Barden Morgan in the place of Green Mountain Boy, and the statement is as direct as could possibly be expected in the circumstances, that St. Clair was by a son of Barden Morgan. It is at least a remarkable coincidence, that this pedigree should have been ut- tered upon this information, in 1856, in California, with the Morgan Cock of the Rock so little known, and so few Morgan stallions in Illinois at the time referred to, and it should turn out that there was a son of the Morgan Cock of the Rock then standing in Illinois, a pacer as well as trotter, that had been long enough in that State to have had a son, "Young Morgan ", that might have got St. Clair. There wras a Green Mountain Boy by Royal Morgan that went to Mich- igan about 1842, and was a quite well known horse in that State for some years. Probabl} the party from Michigan who helped arrange this pedigree selected this name on account of that fact, and then joined to it Cock of the Rock, remembered from the true pedigree. In this connection the following correspondence is quite pertinent : Wilbur F. Smith, Esq., "BREAD LOAF INN, Vt., April 25, 1891. Dear Sir : If I recollect aright, you told me, when I saw you, that you had understood from Presley Dunlap that the man who brought St. Clair across the plains gave him the pedigree, and that the name, " Cock of the Rock ", occurred in it? Will you please write me on this sheet whether my recollection is right, return to me, and oblige. Yours truly, JOSEPH BATTELL." ST CLAIR 771 REPLY. " Dear Sir : Mr. Roberts of Nevada county, while he owned St. Clair, was called upon by the man who brought the horse to California, he having had him. from his father, who bred him near Springfield, 111. This visitor insisted that Mr. Roberts should write St. Glair's pedigree down. This Mr. Roberts did on the fly leaf of his ledger, although he felt no interest in the matter, and cared nothing for the pedigree of this horse. But the man said St. Clair should prove valuable on account of his breeding. The ledger and Mr. Roberts' effects were destroyed within a few years by fire, but he could re- k call afterward that the name " Cock of the Rock " occurred in pedigree. He remembered that because it struck him as a singular name. Mr. E. H. Miller Jr., made exhaustive efforts to trace St. Clair nearly 20 years ago. This was one thing Mr. Roberts told him. Yours, WILBUR FIELD SMITH ". From W. H. Black, Esq., Elgin, 111., we learn that a son, bred in Illinois, of Barden Morgan was taken to Springfield, 111., and kept there, season of 1842, by a member of the Illinois legislature. It is quite possible that this horse was the sire of St. Clair. The following extract concerning this family is from the Palo Alto Catalogue of Gov. Stanford : " The St. Clairs labor under the disadvantage of the founder of the family being in the unknown class, though by the best possible of all tests, public performances, they are not only known but renowned wherever fast trotters are admired. Reasoning from analogy, the breeding of St. Clair must have been high. Among all the St. Clairs ever seen on the track or road, with one exception, there was the highest quality exhibited. Lady St. Clair, who had the fastest five miles on record, had the form and finish of a thoroughbred, and every one of the St. Clair mares, and even the grand- daughters at Palo Alto, closely approximate the same model. Stallions of inferior breeding do not beget such animals, and while a veil obscures the actual blood of St. Clair, the form, finish, spirit and capabilities of his descendants are better certificates of merit than the genealogy extending to the royal mares, if lacking these characteristics. Then when to these are united the most wonderful aptitude to acquire the fast trotting gait, when in the second generation they have conquered and occupy the highest place in three instances, in this case the unknown must be acknowledged, so far as actual merit goes, to be potent. Lady St. Clair, Mayfly and Mayflower were daugh- ters. The former paced five miles in 12 :54^, and likewise showed a gait that gave promise of great speed if cultivated. Mayfly trotted nearly 20 years ago in 2 130^, at that time about the top notch in California, and Mayflower, encumbered with fore shoes which weighed nearly two pounds each, and with rolls of shot almost as ponderous on each front pastern, made a mile, in 2 130^ . This was also done in the early days of trotting on this coast, which gives it greatest significance. After years of constant labor haul- ing heavy loads, and undergoing such abuse as would have broken the hearts 772 THE MORGAN HORSE of most horses, Occident, in 1873, trotted a mile in 2 :i6^. He was the first horse to drop below 2:17, and the first of the grandsons or grand- daughters of St. Clair to gain distinction. The above named were bred, as may be termed, haphazard. Nothing is known of the blood of their dams, that of Occident to all appearance having a dash of native blood, while in all probability the dams of Mayfly and Mayflower were the progeny of ' Ameri- can ' mares. "But when the blood of St. Clair was blended with that of Electioneer, and due attention was paid to development, there followed startling results. In 1880, Fred Crocker, then two years old, trotted a mile in 2 125^, and the next year Wildflower, two years old, trotted in 2 121, and Bonita, two years, in 2 :24^. Wildflower became incapaciated from a severe attack of dis- temper, so severe that great portions of flesh were eaten away, ears curtailed and a hole corroded through the membrane which separates the nostrils. Bonita, at four years, obtained a record of 2 :i8^ and 'trained on', as is proved by her trotting last year in 2:18^. But by far the greatest per- formance, excepting the 2 :2i of Wildflower, was that of Manzanita, and few will question that it can be classed with the best when the age is taken into consideration. When four years old she not only trotted in 2:16, but also defeated the best of her age, among them the great Patron. It is not the intention to present illustrations which have not been made in public, or the value of this blood could be shown in a much stronger light, and this sketch, etching would be a better name, is drawn in order to give those at a dis- tance a little insight into the merits of the St. Clairs ; and the summary shows : The fastest five miles either pacing or trotting, the fastest record up to 1874, the fastest and second fastest four-year-old, and three of the blood with records below 2 II".

Sent from Detroit, Mich., 1837, by a wealthy gentleman named Brush, in charge of a man named Dwight, to Dr. Luke Blackburn, Georgetown, Ky. He was very fast, both at the pace and trot. The best information of this horse that we have yet seen is contained in the following letter of Dr. Luke Blackburn, which appears in "Wallace's Monthly" of February, 1888 : "The horse known as Blackburn's Davy Crockett was sent to me from Detroit, Mich., 1837, by a gentleman of great wealth named Brush, who recently died in that city. The horse was placed in charge of a man by the name of Dwight, who brought him across the country to Kentucky, and ar- rived at Georgetown the week of the races at that place. I was attending the races that week, and there first saw the horse. Dwight had with him a large amount of money, and he publicly offered to bet that Crockett could beat any pacing horse in the world any distance, and for any amount under $10,000. In this offer he excepted Oneida Chief, who had beaten Davy Crockett some time before, on the Poughkeepsie track, in the then extra- ordinary time of 2 126. Davy Crockett was a beautiful brown, 14^ hands, with long body, fine carriage, flowing mane and tail, and of great substance and endurance. I drove him in a sulky and rode him under saddle between his regular seasons. He was, without question, as fine a driving or saddle horse as ever moved in harness or under a saddle. He made many seasons in Woodford county, and my father sold him to a Mr. Moody, Shelby county, where he died. He was the sire of the celebrated stallion Drennon, and the getter of more fine saddle horses than any horse ever in Kentucky. After his death it was impossible to purchase one of his colts at any price, their owners holding them as priceless treasures. Crockett, in his prime, was the fastest pacer and the fastest trotter in the State of Kentucky. I never knew anything of his pedigree, but always considered him what might be called a full-blooded Canadian ". J. H. Harding, Pleasureville, Ky., in a letter to the " Kentucky Stock Farm ", dated Jan. 28, 1889, says : 776 THE MORGAN HORSE "If half that 'the oldest inhabitants' say is true, there was never a better or faster pacing Canadian imported than Drennon's sire, old Davy Crockett, who made his last seasons and died within 500 yards of where I now write. He was the most 'prominent citizen' at all stallion shows, fairs and musters, and the redoubtable militia colonel never looked more warlike than when astride of proud 'old Davy'. He never encountered a horse that could outpace him, and his rival, Tecumseh, was the only one who could make him extend himself. He sired Drennon, founder of the Drennon family, He begat Canada Chief and Moody's Davy Crockett, who sired Legal Tender, from whom descended many trotters. Indeed, the blood of Davy Crockett figures in the pedigrees of many of our best trotters and producers of trotters. Had he received the fostering care of some great breeding establishment like Woodburn, he would have founded a family as famous as the Pilot Jr. tribe" C. W. Kennedy, Montgomery, Ala., says : " Davy Crockett was a very good-looking horse, very stout, long, heavy tail, heavy mane ; head larger than Pilot's, but clean, not a bad one, not a high crest ". Besides the trotters descended from Davy Crockett given in following tables, there are quite a number by sons or grandsons whose history and breeding is largely unknown. Coulter's Davy Crockett said to have been owned in Indiana, and got by Moody's Davy Crockett, is credited with Rostrever 2 123 and dams of Frazee 2 \2^y2, Ira M. 2 130 and Mattie H. 2 :2 7 y±, and Spurrier Boy 2 130. The dam of High Jack, sire of one 2 130 trotter, was also by this horse. Seniour's Davy Crockett is credited with the dams of Billy Anderson 2 126^ and Richwood 2 127. Cummins' Davy Crockett got the dam of Butterscotch 2 120, and Scrugg's Davy Crockett the dam of Doble 2 128. The dam of Commander 2 '.26% and sire of three 2 130 per- formers was by Miller's Davy Crockett. A Davy Crockett Jr., is credited with the dam of Grover Wilkes 2 124^, and Henderson's Davy Crockett with the 2d dam of Belle Simmons.

Johnson, a neighbor, who traded for her with a man that was moving south from Indiana, breeding unknown. Sold to Austin Duprey, Henry county, Ky., for $40 ; then, when over 1 2 years old, at auction, to Henry Brinker, Henry county, for $3300 ; later to parties in Fayette county, Ky., where he died, 1870. He was a fine saddle horse and could rack, pace and trot very fast ; was seldom if ever beaten in a fair ring. J. H. Harding, of Pleasureville, Ky., writes of him to the editor of the " Kentucky Stock Farm" : " He was very fond of music, and after going through his paces he would march to the center of the fair-ring, and, throw- ing up his tail and looking aloft at the musicians, would call for music as 778 THE MORGAN HORSE plainly as a dumb brute could, which the band always gave amid the shouts of the multitude. I have often heard Mr. Joseph Baker of Eminence, who generally showed him, say that sitting erect in his saddle he could tie Dren- non's mane around his body. Drennon lived in a day when the saddle horse flourished most. If his colts had been trained for speed, he would have founded a family of pacers and trotters ".

They have fine style like the sire, and look like the Morgan stock of horses only as to color. I have never seen a sorrel or chestnut, all of them bays or blacks, and all of them have more or less speed at the pace or trot (most of them pace). Legal Tender Jr. is now 21 years old, and looks as if only 10; can pace a quarter in 37 seconds, and trot one in 40. He is the blackest horse I ever saw.

Corbin, near Union, Ky., 1854; to Thomas Turpin, Warsaw, Ky., 1857 ; to Michael Giegoldt, Aurora, Ind., whose property he died in 1863. A very stylish and fine-looking horse, and a very fast pacer and trotter. Wm. S. Skinner, now of Shawhan, Ky., who gave him his name of Tom Crowder, writes : " Tom Crowder was an extremely stylish and popular horse and the fastest pacer I ever saw for three or four hundred yards. He never was trained only for movement on the show ground, and very few horses could run as fast as he could pace. He was also a trotter. In that day it was not a popular gait. Nothing but saddlers were wanted and I never let him trot". W. P. Corbin, August 21,1885, writes : " It has been fifty years since old Tom Crowder was foaled. My father traded a negro boy to Wrn. Skinner for him in 1846, after the spring season was out. The boy was valued at $500 and the horse the same. The horse was about 10 years old and the boy about the same age. My father made seven successful seasons with him, then sold him to Thomas Turpin of Warsaw, Ky., for $700. Tom Crowder, son of Crowder, was sired while my father owned old Crowder. Tom Wonder was sold at weaning time for $30 to a man by the name of Murphy ". Michael Giegoldt writes : " Old Tom Crowder was bay with no marks, 15^ hands, very strong and muscular, and I think the best made horse I ever saw. I don't think he was ever trained on any track, but in his day could beat anybody's horse for a short distance ". (In addition to the 2 130 performers that appear in following tables, Bas- sett's Tom Crowder is credited with Nelly, 2d dam of Agitator 2 :2oy2, and of Pharos, sire of Pharon 2 122^, and Clark's Daniel Boone, probably a grandson of Tom Crowder, with Lucy Marshall, dam of Mamie M. 2 :22^, Pattie Cooper 2 130 and Mambrino Templar Jr., sire of Long John 2 128 %.)

APPENDIX TEN-RACE WINNERS TO CLOSE OF 1883 The following is a complete list of all trotters winning 10 or more races, from the ear- liest time to the close of 1883, as recorded in " Chester's Complete Trotting and Pacing Rec- ord," published in 1884; to which has been added races won by them since 1883. So far as able we give breeders and breeding of these trotters, adding a synopsis of their blood on both sides. Following these are tables of all trotters of 50 or more races, complete to the end of 1884, and divided into families. These latter tables were compiled by us almost entirely from "Chester's Record", and first published in the New York " Spirit of the Times " in February, 1885. The large share, — more than that of any other progenitor , — of the blood of Justin Morgan in these successful and enduring trotters, illustrates the qualities that have always made the Morgan family so famous as roadsters.

Madam Temple was sired by a spotted Arabian stallion brought from Dutchess county and owned by Horace Terry. Mr. Peck disposed of Madam Temple when four months old for a mere trifle to Wm. Johnson of the same place. . * * * Terry's spotted Arabian was a remarkably strong, restless,fast trotting horse, said to have been sired by a full-blooded Arabian stallion on Long Island. He was a great favorite in this section, and his stock for general use possesses probably more excellent qualities than that of any other horse known in this vicinity. They were uniformly strong, with rare speed and bottom. The general high reputation in which his stock was held ' may be judged from the fact that George W. Crowningshield, Esq., of Boston owned a pacing gray mare of his get, so fast and enduring that he sold her for $1500. That was considered very high in those days. Madam Temple has always been regarded as a re- markable roadster. Mr. Hughes sold her in 1846 to G. B. Cleveland, Esq., \Vaterville, who soon parted with her to N. W. Moss of the same place, but now of Osage, la.

Neither can I refer you to any one who can. It was a long time ago. It must have been about the year 1840 when father got the mare. He owned her a number of years. I remember her very well; she was blocky built, bay, without mark, mealy nose, weight about 1000 or 1050, free, good driver and fine looking. Respectfully yours, JOHN L. PECK ".

Rhodes, got by Gano, son of American Eclipse; 2d dam a pacer, said to be by a son of imported Sir William; 3d dam, a natural pacer, unbroken, breeding unknown. Levi T. Rhodes writes : " The great-grandam was a naturel pacer, and was noted on the farm as a.leader of the herd of horses running at large in the pasture. She never trotted in her life, and was never broke to the saddle or harness. Her gait was so thoroughly that of a natural pacer that it was performed easily without the aid of bridle or saddle. It is not known to me that the grandam of Thome was thoroughbred, and it is not likely, as my father never owned a strictly thoroughbred animal. There was a large amount of running blood in the dam as well as the grandam, but it is not at all probable that either was thoroughbred. The grandam as well as the great-grandam were both natural pacers, but Thome and her dam never manifested any other gait than that of a trot. The dam, gran- dam and great-grandam possessed unusually small, neat, thoroughbred-like looking limbs, but I am sure that none of them were thoroughbred, but were highly bred ". Peter C. Kellogg (Hark Comstock) thus describes LadyThorne: "Lady Thome is a large bay mare, 16)4 hands and rather leggy. Her head and neck are clean and show breeding, and 890 THE MORGAN HORSE her shoulder deep and well laid back, topping out with withers noticeably high. Her body is long and she is not only long in the sweep from hip to back, but again from the latter point to the ground.

Supt. of Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway Co., and now of Cleveland, O., writes of Black Sal : " She was rather fine-looking, and resembled the family of horses which descended from Hill's old Vermont Black Hawk so closely that it was supposed she must have had a dash of that blood in her make-up. Her muscles were remarkably developed, her quarters were very heavy, and her back and loins very strong; her endurance was also remarkable, and she took naturally to trotting from the first ". M. A. Dougherty, born 1824, son of Thomas Dougherty, writes : " Father moved from Monroe county, N. Y., 1835, to Coldwater, Mich. About 1843 he purchased a pair of dark bay Morgan mares, — Bettie and Pop, — of Win. Pruder, and kept both of them till they died of old age in the 6o's. 894 THE MORGAN HORSE He also had a bay mare called Nance, and a young black stallion that he gelded when three. Black Sal might have been the offspring of Bettie and the black colt stallion. She raised several colts, as did also Nancy; Pop had none ". In a second letter Mr. Dougherty says that Mr. Pruder was a farmer to whom his father sold So acres from the south end of his farm at Coldwater and took the mares in part payment. He thinks Mr. Pruder came from near Rochester, N. Y., but is not sure. Does not know where he got these mares. Betty was dark bay, 14 hands, possibly a little more, weight 1000 to 1 100 pounds, of fine style, and died on his father's farm a£ Coldwater, when about 25 years old, or more. He thinks his father raised the black stallion colt and that it was from Betty or Nance, does not know the sire.

Allan of Picton, Ont., writes that the Sportsman that got Tacony was supposed to be three-quarters thoroughbred, and we think it highly probable that it was the son of Sir Walter, advertised as above. Mr. Allan, who send us this pedigree, writes : "I knew all the parties in question at that time, also saw the horse (Tacony) when owned by Dr. Durland and used here in his general business".

Of these, 185 have Morgan sires (115 Black Hawks, 7 from Sherman Morgan other than Black Hawks, 19 from Bulrush Morgan (17 Morrills), 1 6 from Woodbury Morgan, 15 Pilots, 4 Davy Crocketts, 2 Brandy- wines, 7 Miscellaneous); 172 have Messenger sires (117 Hambletonians, 46 Mambrinos, (8 Champions, 5 Abdallahs), 6 Bishop Hamiltonians, 2 Maine Messengers, I Financier) ; 74 have sires descended from imported Bashaw (Clays 44) ; 52 trace to thoroughbred sires other than those above mentioned (16 to Diomed, 5 to Drew); 69 trace to Canadian sires other than those mentioned above (15 to Royal George, 12 to Columbus, 7 to Morse Horse, 8 to St. Lawrence) ; 112 are from unknown sires or from sires but partly known (12 American Stars, 8 Blue Bulls, 8 Hiatogas, 7 Biggart Rattlers). A reasonably accurate analysis of the dams of these trotters shows that 257 are entirely unknown, and 47 more but partially known (14 American Stars). Of the remainder, 114 have Morgan sires (70 Sherman Morgans, (62 Black Hawks,) 14 Woodbury Morgans, 3 Bulrush Morgans (2 Morrills), 5 Pilots, 2 Davy Crocketts, and 20 " called Morgan "). There are 58 that trace in male line to Messenger (27 Mambrinos (18 Mambrino Chiefs, 6 Abdallahs, 3 Cham- pions), 17 Hambletonians, 7 Maine Messengers, 4 Bishop's Hamiltonians, 3 Misscellaneous). 25 have Bashaw dams (14 Clays'); 90 have dams that trace to thoroughbred sires other than those above mentioned (43 to Diomed) ; and 55 have dams that trace to Canadian sires besides those that so trace in the Morgans and part-breds. The great part of the grandams are unknown; of those known there are 40 Morgans, 22 Messengers, 8 Bashaws (3 Clays), 21 Canadians, and 82 tracing to other thoroughbred sires, 34 of which to imported Diomed; 13 more get Diomed blood through the third and fourth dams. f Scenes in liochester, Vermont Farm of Yersel Hubbard, Rochester, Vermont Cottages, Bread Loaf Inn, Kipton, Vermont 9: Lake Dunmore, Salisbury Silver Lake, Leicester Mountain Stream, Ripton Otter Creek, near Midrtlebuiy VERMONT SCENERY 915 NOTABLE TROTTERS From an article in Spirit of the Times Feb., 14, fSSj. MlDDLEBURY, VT., Feb. 2. A few weeks since there was an article in a Western journal, under the above head, pur- porting to give a list of all horses that have trotted fifty or more races each. The table sug- gested a subject of much interest, but proved to be very inaccurate and incomplete, and, be- sides, did not give the blood of the trotters, in which is the principal lesson for breeders. It gave a list of eighty-three. The following is submitted as a complete list of such trotters, so far as can be derived from known data. The division into families is by direct male line. ' The word " Hamble- tonian " refers only to those descended from Rysdyk's Hambletonian. The classification "Unknown" includes the following partially known, viz. : American Stars — Lady Star (Capi- tola), Little Sioux, Star, St. Cloud, Tom Keeler; Blue Bulls — Effie G., Will Cody; Hiatogas — Big Soap, Lew Scott; Copperbottom — Loafer; Tom Hal — Little Gypsy. All in the list of "Other Messengers" are from Mambrino except Joker and Joe Ripley, which trace to Bishop Hamiltonian. Of Bashaws, all are Clays except five, — Carrie X., Cozette, John H., Harry Gilbert and Miller's Damsel. These records are mainly compiled from " Chesters Complete Trotting and Pacing Record ", published May, 1884, but include some of the races trotted season of 1884. From the index of sires which Mr. Chester gives at the end of the Volume it appear that the whole number of trotters whose races are given in the book amount to something over 6000. Of these a little over 1700 are Hambletonians; there are 657 other Messengers making a total of 2369 that trace in male line to Messenger. There are 762 Black Hawks, and 453 other Morgans or a total of 1215 that trace in male line to Justin Morgan. There are about 700 that trace in male line to Canadian sires, and the same number of Bashaws, with something over 300 which trace to Thoroughbred sires, other than above mentioned, and about 1000 whose tracing is not certain. The showing is certainly very creditable to the Morgan family, both in its total and in proportion to its number of trotters, and is equally so to the Canadian that in undoubledly composed largely of Morgan blood. The blood of dams, so far as known is also given and here the preponderence of Morgan blood is still more pronounced.

Stuking's stable, three-fourths of a mile west of the meeting house, the remainder of the season, two stud horses and a jack : The full-blooded horse called TRAVELER is a blood bay, 15 hands high, moves light and easy, in his prime for cover- ing, and is a very sure horse. He was sired by the famous old Traveler, imported from Ire- land. His dam was Col. DeLancey's imported racer. His colts are mostly bays, large, beautiful and active, fine both for saddle and harness; £10 has been offered for one of them at 10 days old. The other horse, called the Young Dread, was sired by the famous old Dread, and his dam by the Sweeper. He is 15^ hands high, dark bay, is beautiful, strong and active. Covered at Conway last season. And for a motive to make good pay, and in order that all may have an opportunity to breed tine horses, said horses will cover at 15 shillings, cash or produce, if paid by the ist day of October next; 18 shillings afterwards; to be paid to Captain Norton at his store in Ashfield.

The pedigree of each horse, in the line of his sire, when known, will generally be found, at one or more places in the book, carried out until it reaches some well-known ancestor. For complete pedigree and history of these horses we will refer to our forthcoming work on " The Horse," that is intended to include pedigree and history, so far as known, of all the more noted horses of the world, espe- cially those that have been owned in America. The small figures of the Index, above the numbers of the pages, or in parentheses after them, indicate the number of times the horse indexed appears on such page.

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS The following additions and corrections, mostly connected with the appendix of this work, have been made necessary from the fact that we did not personally superintend the compilation of this appendix : Page 29. For "Schreger" read Schreyer. Page 54; last line of Cub Mare. For "know of evidence" read know of no evidence. Page 55. For "Vermont" read Massachusetts. Page 187. Honest Allen had a record of 2:171-0 with running mate. Page 205; Young Morrill (Perkins'). Young Morrill was sold to Town and Trow of Barre, 1854, and to Mr. Perkins about 1859. A.W.Thomson, Woodstock, Vt., states that the dam of the Lock Goss horse \vas foaled about 1810 (bred by Mr. Goss Sr., a brother to the David Goss who owned Justin Morgan), and got by Justin Morgan. Page 207. Winthrop Morrill was sold to Mr. Tucker in 1859. Page 244; twenty-third line. Add, after word "pacer," and descended from a long line of pacing ancestry. Page 361. Arthur T., that appears in the table of Col. Ellsworth, should be credited to Waldo Chief, son of Gen. Knox. Page 405; Cottrill Morgan (Peck Horse). We learn from Judge C. \V. Upton of Waukegan, 111., that the dam of Cottrill Morgan was a black mare purchased about 1835, by Hon. L. B. Peck, of Gov. C. P. Van Ness, Burlington, Vt. This mare was said to have been bred on Long Island and to be of English or thoroughbred blood* Judge LTpton writes that, when a boy, he often rode her. Page 414; Billy McCracken. Billy McCracken was sold to O. C. McCracken, now of Stockton, Cal., instead of J. G. McCracken, as stated. His son Emigrant was bred by Mr. Vincent in Winconsin and will appear in Vol. II. Page 415; Lancet and Paul Jones. These horses were bred, Dr. O. C. McCracken in- forms us, by a Mr. Moore of Lockport, X. Y., and were full brothers. They were taken by steamer, in 1860, to California, by J. G. McCracken. Lancet was advertised in Sacra- mento in 1862, instead of 1857, as stated. Page 416. Jennie, by Bigelow's Black Hawk, was also dam of Patrick Henry, sire of two in 2:30 list, and was second dam of Baron Brown 2:26^, and of Haldane 2:26%. Page 418. It is quite possible that the second dam of Dictator was by Baldwin's. Black Hawk, instead of his son, Ford's Black Hawk. Page 470; Daniel Webster, fourth line. Instead of "1867," read 1857. Page 512; Comet (Bissell's), fifth line. Read Iowa, instead of "Illinois." Page 548; Hickory Jack. Hickory Jack was bred by Dan Mace, New York city. A. D. Holt of Palmer, Mass., writes, Dec. 23, 1890: "Lady Litchfield was chestnut, 14^ hands, and an all-around trotter to sulky, pole or saddle, and one of the best of leaders of a tandem team. She was bred in Vermont, and got by Black Hawk. I heard David Hill say that her dam was a great road mare of high temper and could trot in 3 :oo, got by a Mor- gan horse, I think he said Morgan Eagle. In 1867 Carpenter sold Hickory Jack to Jack Chambers, ,for the running mare Irene and $11,000. Mr. Chambers took him to England; afterwards brought him back. If Hickory Jack was alive now, with all the improvements in trotting, in my opinion, he would make Nelson, Jack and Palo Alto take his dust. By the side of a runner he could trot a 2 :oo gait." 986 THE MORGAN HORSE Page 620; Morgan Tiger (Vickery's). P. Bellinger of Mannsville, N. Y., writes, June 5, 1894: "Joseph Vickery bought Tiger Morgan in Elmira, N. Y., of a man by the name of Hoyt; can not give his given name. Tiger Morgan was of Sherman Morgan blood. He was the handsomest horse I have ever seen, a chestnut, and got some very stylish colts." Page 623; Draco 2:28*0. We notice that Allen W. Thomson of Woodstock, Vt., in his history of the Walker Horse, Morrills and Hamiltonian horses of Vermont, says, and we presume correctly, that Ira Harrington, Barre, Vt., bought Draco when four months old; that Town and Trow bought him in the spring of 1856, and sold him the next fall to L. T. Tucker, Laconia, N. H.; that Mr. Tucker removed to Royal ton, Vt., in the spring of 1859, where Draco made that season, and thai fall Mr. Tucker sold a half-inleresl in him to J. W. Holcomb for about $1200; thai Mr. Kolcomb look him West and South with Ethan Allen and that he was kept, in 1861, at St. Louis, Mo., and that fall returned to Royal- ton; that he was kepi al Boslon in 1862, when Mr. Holcomb sold his interest to J. R. Poor, and that in 1864 Tucker and Poor sold him. Page 625; Draco Prince. Mr. Thomson states that the Gov. Converse mare was bred by Calvin Russ of Tunbridge, Vt., and got by a cheslnul Morgan horse that was gelded young, owned by Solomon Burnham, East Randolph, Vt., and that the 4th dam was a gray mare bred by Mr. Russ, and got by the Samuel Blodgetl horse of Randolph, Vt., a large gray horse said to have been broughl from New York, near Lake Champlain, and that was burned when Mr. Blodgetl's barn at Randolph was destroyed by fire. We have understood thai Mr. Blodgett had such a horse al ihe lime he owned Phoenix. Page 634; Woodstock, fifth line. Read 1864 instead of "1854." The dam of Wood- slock was traced by Moses E. Cheney, and is said to have been by the Ira Hood Horse, son of the Kasson Horse, thai was probably a son of Engineer, ihe grandsire of Lady Suffolk. This Engineer was advertised on Long Island in 1816 and represented to have been of English blood and stolen from a British officer in the war of 1812-14. He has been er- roneously called a son of imported Messenger. Mr. Cheney gives the second dam of Wood- stock as gray, by the Thedford Horse, and third dam gray by the Kasson Horse. Black Hawk Merrill. Instead of " 1885 " read 1855. Page 643; Harry Velox, dam of. Read Tom Crowder, instead of "imported Mar- grave." Page 647. Walker Morrill was a large brown horse, foaled 1861.

Page 677; Morgan Tally-Ho, fourlh line. Read 1814 inslead of "1824". Since our accounl of Morgan Tally-Ho was prinled, a hislory of ihe Walker Horse has been published by Allen W. Thomson, Woodslock, Vt., which gives the basis of the story lhal Morgan Tally-Ho was by ihe Moullon Horse. Il is so utterly puerile and senseless that it need not be mentioned. Page 678; Winslow Horse, fifth line. The stalemenl lhal Quicksilver Morgan was sire of Ihe dam of Frank Munson we had from John D. Gillell, Adams, N. Y., bul from laler informalion received, we ihink il is a mislake. Page 685; Tobey Horse, second line. For "1884" read 1844. Page 691. Varsil Hubbard of Rochesler, Vt., says thai ihe Richardson Horse was bul 15 hands, 950 pounds, and he Ihinks was foaled aboul 1842, and was sold when Ihree lo Josiah Richardson. Page 760; Sam Bell. This horse was foaled aboul 1850. Odin Bell. This was a small horse, aboul 14)^ hands; his dam said to be a pacer. He was kept at Richmond, Va., 1871. ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS 987 795- The sire of dam of Steve Maxwell should read Grigsby's Matchless Whale. Ole Bull Jr. was kept in Spencer county, Ky., 1866, at the stables of M. H. Weaver. Page 856; Americus. Information as given is from a son of Henry S. Orenclorff, but in "Wallace's Monthly" of December, 1878, it is stated by David Baircl, Springfield, X. V., that Americus was bred by Leonard Brown and sold by him to John Tunacliff, which we presume to be correct. Page 857; Arthur T. The pedigree of this horse is that usually given to him but is entirely erroneous. Arthur T. was bred by John Boody, Jackson, Me., who sold to J. S. Staples, Brooks, Me., and he to S. A. X"ye, Fairfield, Me. He then passed, through several hands, to J. H. Xutter, Dover, X. H. Mr. Staples writes that his sire was Waldo Knox, son of Gen. Knox, and his dam a mare brought from Vermont. Page 859; Big Soap. This horse was bred by W. S. Cripps, Ottumwa, la., and sold when about two to Michael Tullis. Page86i; Boston Girl, second line. Instead of "Concord," read Manchester. While kept by A. Carpenter, Providence, R. I., Boston Girl had three colts, Boston Boy by Black Hawk, the Place Colt, and another, blind — all fast. Mr. Fish, we also understand, bred from her a stallion "Trifle," got by Andy Johnson, owned by him, son of old Columbus, Canadian. Mr. Fish writes: "When I bought her I was going to Canada to buy horses and had a load of fresh fish. Had a big French stallion that got cast in his stall and killed. The place was about twenty-five miles from Manchester, north on the main road to Canada. I stopped at the village hotel. I do not remember name of place or hotel. I went right west of the village to get the colt. The harness-maker told me about the colt.'' Page 862; Capitola 2.-281.,. This mare was bred by J. B. Cochrane, Beaver Dam, \Vis., and got by Sir Henry, son of Barney Henry. Cairo. This gelding was bred by J. H. Dodge, Stockton, Cal., who at the time owned his sire. Page 864; Charley Ford. James McKesson writes of this renowned trotter: "He had round barrel, very fine head, neck and ear, and raised well on the withers; very fine carriage; plump, round eye; perfect trotting gait; hardly ever broke, but if he did would catch at a 2 : 16 gait; a perfect carriage horse, and was calculated by all horsemen to have the most speed and endurance of any horse ever raised in Wisconsin." Charley B., sixth line. For "Leiley's" read Zielley's. Page 865; Clementine. For "Genesee Boy" read Genesee Gray. Page 867; Defiance, third line. For "A. S. Heath, Graf ton, X. Y.," read A. F. Hoyt, Graf ton, X. H. Page 868; Dictator, sixth line. For "1851 " read 1852. Don, fourth line. Read second dam old Reel, gray, owned by Gen. Dunham, Troy, X. Y., and said to be by Eckol's Messenger.

The dam of this mare was bred by Clifton Ware, Lexington, Ky., and got by Mambrino Chief. Page 871; Eva 2: 25 1-±. The dam of this mare was sorrel, 15 hands, very ugly tem- per, and is said to have been bred by Edward Sears, Goshen, X. Y., and got by Seely's American Star. Fancy. The dam of Fancy was a large, chestnut mare bought by Mr. Millington of Matthew Clark, Denton, Md., who said that she cams from Philadelphia. Page 873; Flora B. The record should be 2:24^2- Flora Temple, sixth line. Omit "Long Island or"; last line, add Hunter after "Ken- tucky." Page 874. In second letter of John L. Peck, instead of "dam of Flora Temple," read THE MORGAN HORSE dam of Madame Temple. Flora Temple has, we believe, more races to her credit than any trotter that has yet lived. She was, too, the first to trot below 2 :2O. Her pedigree is given correctly in the "Breeders' Stud Book" by J. H. Sanders, but we have never seen it so any- where else. She is generally said to be by Bogus Hunter, son of Kentucky Hun- ter; but there never was a horse called Bogus Hunter, nor any called Bogus, got by any horse named Kentucky Hunter. A son of Ferguson's Kentucky Hunter, and Bogus, by Lame Bogus, were bred by G. W. W. Loomis, Sangerfield, Oneida county, N. Y., and both owned by the Loomises when Flora was bred. The following letter received by us from Samuel Welch, who we found to be universally regarded as an in- telligent and very truthful man, is decisive as to which horse got Flora. Mr. Welch allows himself to use the name "Bogus Hunter" for Bogus, which we and others used in writing to him, though in closing the letter he says the horse's name was Bogus, and this is what we found it was when later we visited Oneida county, and interviewed the son of his breeder. The name of the horse was Bogus, after his sire, and he was known as Loomis' Bogus: REEDSBURG, Wis., March 18, 1887. DEAR SIR : — Yours making further enquiries in relation to Flora Temple is at hand. Cannot say that Bogus Hunter was any relation to One-eyed Kentucky Hunter. They did not look alike. One-eyed Hunter was a small chestnut horse, and Bogus Hunter was a large sorrel horse with three white feet and a white stripe in his face. Both horses were there when I bred the mare. I bred her to Bogus Hunter. The mare was not taken to the horse but once and I took her myself and saw her covered. I cannot tell whether the two horses were in any way related or not. I don't know. The horses did not look at all alike. Bogus Hunter was a large, rangy horse, high-headed. One-eyed Hunter was not so large and the mare was small; would weigh only eight or nine hundred; so I bred to the largest horse. Hogtts'is what they called the horse I bred the mare to. I knew the horse for a number of years. I only lived a mile and a half from where the horse was kept and knew him well. Respectfully yours, SAMUEL WELCH. Florence, third line.

This pedigree is furnished by Nathan Hendrickson, her second owner, who writes that he looked it up very carefully. The pedigree of this dam has always, hitherto, been given incorrectly. Page 878; Goldsmith Maid. Goldsmith Maid was one of the greatest trotters ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS 989 that has yet been produced, both very fast and very enduring. Her clam has never been traced, and the breeding of this dam is unknown; she has been recorded many times as Old Ab, or Lady Abdallah, by Abdallah, but no one so recording has ever pretended that there was any certain knowledge of her breeding. Mr. Wallace's record of Goldsmith Maid in Vol. Ill of his Register is: "Got by Alexander's Abdallah, son of Rysdyk's Hamble- tonian; and dam Old Ab, by Abdallah." Butinthe January number of his Magazine, 1877, after giving the letter ofM. Vermeule, her owner, who states that he had no positive knowledge of the pedigree of the dam of Goldsmith Maid, Mr. Wallace writes: "To some of our timid friends it may appear like sacrilige to disturb the pedigree of the greatest trotter in the world, but in reply we must say that we must stand by the truth no difference what happens, no difference what horse it affects. From Mr. Yermeule's letter the presumption is she was by Abdallah, but it certainly brings out the fact that it is not so established. The subject is now open for discussion and the first question to be answered is from whom did Mr. Norris get the mare." We have made very determined and presistent efforts to trace this dam, with the follow- ing results : Manning Vermeule, Plainfield, X. J., in an interview, said that he traded for this mare of Dan Xorris, who kept, at the time, a livery stable on Houston street, XTew York; that Mr. Xorris had her several years ; kept her at first for his own use and trotted her a little. Mr. Vermeule thought she was about 14 years old when he bought her. Mr. Osborn, who was foreman for Mr. Xorris, said she was an Abdallah, but he never heard who bred her. Mr. Vermeule kept her but a few months, and sold her to Mr. Decker of Deckertown, X. J., who bred Goldsmith Maid and other colts from her. She was a bay mare, no white, 15% hands, fair neck, good, nice, smooth-made mare, rather a neat, nice head, not a heavy ear, not a coarse mare. She had bad feet, that is, flat-footed and quarter-cracks. Her name was Ann. Mr. Vermeule thought she could trot in about 3:10. "I got her in the fall, sold to Decker next spring. She was a bay mare with bob tail, long switch. I considered her pretty much used up when I got her." It was claimed, at one time, that Isaac Marsh of Statcn Island, X. Y., kept the dam of Goldsmith Maid for Mr. Xorris. This Mr. Marsh we visited and from information that he gave us succeeded in tracing beyond question the mare that he kept for Xorris, and which Mr. Marsh thought to be the dam of Goldsmith Maid, and was very certain was an Abdallah mare. This mare, however, proved to be by Long Island Black Hawk, was called Dolly and was sent to Mr. Xorris by a Mr. Livingston of Hudson, X". Y., who bred her. She was a bay mare, and, as described, quite similar to the dam of Goldsmith Maid, but from the letters given below from Manning Vermeule and John S. Xorris, son of Daniel X'orris, it is certain that she was not the dam. Through the assistance of Wm. Wray, a son-in-law of Daniel Xorris, and Mr. Higgins, proprietor of the "Cosmopolitan Hotel," Xew York, to whom Mr. Wray referred us, we succeeded in learning that Daniel Xorris purchased the dam of Goldsmith Maid at the " Bull's Head," in 24th street, Xew York. From different parties at Bull's Head, who had been there for years, we learned that Mr. Xorris was accustomed to buy horses there, but we were not able to trace this mare further. She was one of the thousands that came to Bull's Head, Xew York, for sale, and may have come from any part of the country : ST. PAUL, Dec. 7, 1887. MR. JOSEPH BATTELL: The Black Hawk mare was named Dolly; she was docked with a long switch tail. I remember Ike Vermilia well, but he did not get the mare. I do not recollect the mare my father did trade to him. I am perfectly willing to assist you if possible.. Have been out of town or would have answered this before. Yours truly, JOHN S. NORRIS. No. 423 Wabash Street. ST. PAUL, Nov. i, 1887. MR. JOSEPH BATTELL, Dear Sir: Yours of Oct. 17 at hand. I can only say the Black Hawk mare I think my 99o THE MORGAN HORSE father got some time about 1855, and then she was about four years old. She was bay, about 15 hands and was speedy. I think my father drove her in 2:38, without ever being trained, and two in the wagon. He never sold the mare, but let a party by the name of Ayers have her either in Plainfield or New Market, N. J. I do not recollect the party whom my father got the mare from. I think if you would write to Mr. Wallace Vail, Plainfield, X. ]., he could give some information. My father had a very promising mare, five years old when he died, in 1863, which was sold to Jim McMann, who used to own Flora Temple; perhaps if he is still alive he could give you some information. Anything I can do to assist you I will willingly. Yours respectfully, JOHN S. XOKKIS. Xo. 423 Wabash, Street. KANSAS CITY, Mo. Feb. 13, 1888. MR. JOSEPH BATTKLL, Dear Sir : Yours of January 24th at hand and will endeaver to answer your questions fully. In regard to Dolly I have stated he let Mr. Sim Ayers have her at Xew Market, N. J. He did not sell her to him, but she was very old and he let him have her because she would be properly taken care of. The only party I know by the name of Vermilia was Isaac, and he used to be inspector of streets and lamps in Xew York and afterwards moved to Plainfield. I was born May 7, 1837. Father was in the livery stable business twice; first it was Powell and Xorris, Albert Powell; that must have been some time about 1840. I think my father got Dolly about 1847. He was then in the custom house and had two or three horses for his own use. I think he got the stable back about 1850, or, perhaps, earlier. If you would like to know positively write to I. M. Quimby and Co., Xew Market, XT. J., and they can give you the information, as he bought his carriages there. He kept Dolly for his own use, and never allowed any one to drive her but himself and me. She was exactly the mare you describe in your letter. Write to Sim Ayers at XTew Market, X'. J., and, if he is alive, you can get the desired information. Father had a mare he called the Abdallah mare, but in my recollection he used to rent her to buggies, and sometimes put her to carriages for short drives. I do not recollect Manning Vermeule in Plainfield, and it is very singular, as I very often went there with father. If I can do anything further, all you have to do is to ask. Yours truly, JOHN S. XORRLS. 555 Walnut St., Room n. PLAIN-FIELD, Jan. 7, 1888. MR. JOSEPH BATTKLL, Dear Sir: I received yours of Dec. 26, 1887, in regard to the dam of Goldsmith Maid. I traded with Daniel XTorris myself and kept her some six months and then traded her to John B. Decker, now of Deckertown, X. J.,and he raised five colts from her and the last was out of Edsall's Hambletonian, son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian. As for the mare you ask about, whether she is the Isaac Marsh mare I do not know. Mr. Butler, foreman at the Fashion Stud Farm, said he was going over to Staten Island to see him. I told him that Marsh told me at the XTew York State fair that some one, I forget the name, used to drive her. I wrote him twice, but got no answer. I knew the old mare for some eight or ten years when Dan Xorris kept her for his own use. She was out of a full-blooded running mare, sire old Abdallah, half brother to Rysdyk's Hambletonian at Chester, Orange county, X. Y. If I get any word from Butler I will write. I gave him all the details of her colts and went down and looked over his stock. Yours truly, MANNING VERMEULE. PLAIN-FIELD, X. J. Jan. 25, 1888. MR. JOSEPH BATTELL, Dear Sir : You want to know what year I got the dam of Goldsmith Maid. That I could ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS 991 not say, but I think some 35 or 36 years ago. Her color was a bright bay, 15% hands, well made, nice style and one of the best \valkers, and Norris said he could drive her with two to wagon in 2 150. When I got her he kept livery in Houston street. That was all the place I knew him. He owned old Abdallah before he got the Black Hawk; the last was a brown or dark bay, about 15 hands, with bob tail; what her name was I can not tell. I do not think he had her when I got the old Ab of him. You want to know whether he kept a livery stable when I got her; he did, and think he must have some nine or ten years. He put the old mare in the hackney coach or wagon. What mare he called Dolly I don't know. I think they called her old Abdallah. The old Ike Vermilia is no relation tome. He was quite a horseman, an old man; I think he was a Dutchman, and had a contract for lighting the street lamps, and was quite intimate with Norris and came out and bought two horses in this place. I was in Xorris' stable with a gray horse when he came in and put up with D. Xorris. I went out the next day with old Vermilia with his fast mare, a dark bay, and drove a gray horse that was fast; I beat them both, and I traded the gray for old Ab and got $200 boot, and Norris sold the gray to Ike Vermilia for $400, which was thought to be a good price at that day. The old Ab and the Black Hawk were all the horses he kept for his own driving. I sent you Butler's letter and suppose you got it. He is the best posted. I have held considerable cor- respondence with him and went down to the Fashion Stud P'arm. He was then foreman for Smith. I will now give you a history of old Ab's colts. I traded her with John B. Decker in Sussex county, N. J., near Orange county, N. V., an old farmer with 300 acres. He gave me a good four-year-old bay horse for her. He took her to Cassius M. Clay and she had a horse colt; but at five months it was hooked by a bull and died. The next foal, from the same sire, was a horse colt, which he raised and called Dan Webster. Then by a horse in Deckertown called Black Morgan she had a black filly; next a black filly by a fast horse call- ed Flying Frenchman. Then he took her to Seal Edsall's Hambletonian, afterwards sold to Kentucky, and called Alexander's Abdallah ; and I could have bought her colt of him, when five or six years old, for $300. I missed a good bargain, but had I bought her I should not have developed Ijer as Goldsmith did. I suppose, take her altogether, she was the greatest trotter in the world — 2 114 at 17 years old. Mr. Butler told me she made over £250,000. Lucy generally went the circuit with her and beat her once in 2:18; but I understand that was sold because they could make by it. If you want anything more I shall be glad to give it to you. I am an old man, 84 the 4th of April. Yours truly, MANNING VERMEULE. BALTIMORE, March 5, 1888. MR. JOSEPH BATTELL, Dear Sir : Your favor of the 2Oth inst. reached me by due course of mail, but I have delayed answering until now in the hopes that my memory might recall some definite recol- lection of the Abdallah mare referred to in your letter as having belonged to the late Dan- iel Norris, but regret to say after the lapse of more than thirty-five years I cannot now do so. The mare "Dolly," whose pedigree you have easily traced through the late H. D. Liv- ingston, is the only animal belonging to the late Win. Norris, at that time, that I retain any distinct recollection of, nor do I know of any one now living who could enlighten you on the subject unless it might be Mr. Wilson of 17 East loth street, New York (livery stables), whose late brother, James Wilson, was a former partner of Norris about the years 1 840 or '50. Norris had, when in Houston street, a foreman by the name of Farr, who, most pro- bably not now living, had two sons, who were, about the time I refer to, connected with the Houston street stable. Wilson might be able to give you some trace of one or other of these sons, or it is not impossible that he (Wilson) might have some recollection of the mare. Hoping that you may yet be successful in obtaining the information you desire, and regretting 992 THE MORGAN HORSE my inability to do more for you than throw out the above suggested additional clews, I am, Yours truly, 1301 Maryland Ave., Baltimore, Mel. DE GRASSE B. FOWLER. PLAINFIELD, April 13, 1889. MR. JOSEPH BATTELL, Dear Sir : Yours of the yth received. You want to know about the Black Hawk mare. I don't know whom he got her of or what became of her. I recollect her. She was quite a nice little brown mare with bob tail. I think he had her when I got the mare old Ab. Yours truly, MANNING VERMEULE. Pl.AINFIELD, April 22, 1889. MR. JOSEPH BATTELL, Dear Sir: Yours of the I yth received, and as for the identity of the mare that Marsh had on Long Island, I cannot say, but I told Mr. Butler, who gets up the cata- logue at the Fashion Stud Farm at Trenton, what Marsh said to me about old Ab. He went to see Marsh, who represented to him that he had old Ab. When I first saw old Ab, Norris sent her out to the Scotch Plains, about three miles from here, to Joseph Osborn to stand here on clay. She had quarter cracks; he would keep her out some two months and then send her in. Norris then kept her for his own driving and Osborn was afterwards his foreman in the livery stable. He was there when I traded for old Ab. I think he used old Ab some number of years before he got the little Black Hawk mare and then he put old Ab to hacking. I don't think I knew him before he kept the livery stable. As for the exact year I got old Ab, I can not say, but I think it was '53 or '54. I don't think he owned her before he kept livery, but am not sure. I know she was one of the nicest driv- ers I ever sat behind, and the fastest walker and a free driver, and when I got her she had been used in the hacking and her legs were bunged up, but I kept her one winter and her limbs got a good deal better. She was a first-rate driver. Norris claimed, when he kept her for his own driving, that she could trot with two in a wagon in 2:50. As I wrote you before I had others write me about her pedigree. I asked Mr. Joseph Osborn about it and he said she was out of a full-blooded running mare, a long-race mare; I suppose he meant a four-mile, and the Goldsmith Maid's endurance proved it. I heard a gentleman say he saw her in a race up in the Catskills with five other fast horses when seventeen years old. Truly yours, MANNING VERMEULE. Grace (Lady Denton) was bred by A. B.

We have succeeded in getting into correspondence with a son of this Mr. Hosmer, from whom we learn that his father bought a bay mare, one of the pair that he took to New York city, presumably the dam of Hattie Woodward, of one Peter Fountain. Letters to former owners of the dam of Hattie Woodward, asking accurate description of the mare, remain unanswered. If we could get this description we should probably be able to trace the mare.

Akers of Friendship, Ind., writes us that Lindslay Akers is dead, but he does not think he bred Idol. In "Wallace's Year Book" Bob Ridley, that appears as the sire of Idol, is given a record of 2 143. The stallion Bob Ridley 2 143 got his record in Logansport, 111., in 1879, and if he was the sire of Idol must have been at least twenty-six years old when he got his record. Idol was taken to New Orleans, by W. F. Wood of Indianapolis, who writes us that she was bred at, or near, Noblesville, Ind., and got by Brown's Tom Crowder. Page 883; Jack Draper 2:27.

She was owned at Xorwich, X . Y., and went from there to Yernon, X. Y., where she was used on a stage, and afterwards passed to Somerindyke.

She was first reported to us as by a thoroughbred, a statement that we had little confidence in, and so entered her with a "said to be." Mac. Mac was the greatest trotter of his day, beating Lady Suffolk seven in ten times, and when she beat him he was lame. John Record, Livermore Falls, Me., son of Thomas Record, breeder of Mac, writes : "Mac's dam was a bay mare with dark points, breeding unknown. Father bought her of Dr. Cooledge of Canton, Me. She was fourteen years old when father bought her. He owned her two years before she had Mac. She was a good mare and one of the best road mares of her clay." This makes the mare foaled in 1827.. Bush Messenger has been said to be the sire of this dam, which is impossible, as he was- foaled in 1833, or six years after the mare. Page 895; May Bird. H.

The' following interesting letter from Moses W.Wi[son throws further light upon the breeding of this famous trotter. WESTPORT, CONN. N<>v. 27, 1889. JOSEPH BATTELL, Esn. Dear Sir: Ripton was bred by the late Burr Meeker Sr.; the year I cannot state. He was sired by a horse called the Heron Horse. All I can state about the origin and history of the Heron Horse is that the late Morris Ketchum, the New York banker, whose country residence was at Westport, bought a mare with a colt by her side somewhere on Long Island. He sent a man up to this place with the mare and the colt. The man rode the mare and the colt followed by her side. This journey gave the colt what are called sand heels, from which he never recovered. He always had bunches on his heels, but they never made him lame. The colt grew up an entire colt and when old enough sired Ripton. The dam of Ripton was a good-sized, brown mare, no white on her, low headed and no speed. I can not now ascertain where Meeker Sr., got her. She was quite old when she foaled Ripton. The sire of Ripton grew up and became a mature horse, and was traded about from place to place; was owned at one time by the old Heron family of Redding Ridge, Conn., and then by the late Nathaniel Lyon of Dodgingtown, a few miles north of Redding Ridge. Then he was returned to Westport and an Irish carman by the name of Welch owned him and used him as a cart-horse. While he was thus' owned by Welch he covered a number of. mares at a nominal price. Welch used to run him short distances over our common roads for small wagers and he was always the winner. When the colt Ripton grew up Wm. Meeker, son of Burr Meeker Sr., used to ride him, and a man by the name of Henry Nichols of Weston, Conn., owned a horse that could trot then a mile in about three minutes. Ripton was about a match for him. Sometimes one would win and sometimes the other. It very soon became noised about that Ripton was a trotter and Samuel H. Blackman, then of Norwalk, Conn., bought him of Burr Meeker Sr. for $250 and then sold him to a man by the name of Hutchinson of New York, and he then went into the hands of the late Hiram Woodruff of New York. I am aware that this letter falls far short of a defi- nite and exact pedigree of the horse Ripton, but it is the best I can do, aided by a gentleman by the name of W. J. Finch of this place, who is personally cognizant of all the above facts. Burr Meeker Sr. died March 20, 1860, aged 75 years. Morris Ketchum is also dead. Any other information possible will be cheerfully furnished you on request. Yours respectfully, MOSES W. WILSON. Page 905 ; Russian Spy.

The following letter from William B. Smith of Hartford, Conn., is the most authentic statement of the tracing of the dam of Thomas Jefferson which we have yet seen : " ^vPsy Queen> who was first known at Rochester, N. Y., as a four-year-old, could trot in 3:00, and was called a Black Hawk; was in the hands of a man handling, or tending, a Black Hawk stallion. She was sold to a Mr. Barker who had the auction rooms, corner of 130 Broadway and 39th street, New York, for so long, at $225. He sold her at Chicago for $400. Her new owners called her a Glenco from Kentucky, as they did Robert Bonner's Lady Palmer, which Gypsy Queen beat in her first race at Chicago. Graves and Loomis of Chicago bought her of Mr. Barker. Bidwell, the trainer and driver, owned her when Mr. Yail bought her at Louisville, Ky. I bought her of Yail. She died mine. She was brought here to trot against the Admans Mare in ten miles, but they never got together." Page 910; Topsy. Petit Coq, or Beppo, was also called the Shaffer Pony and we pre- sume is the horse referred to in this pedigree. If so, he was sorrel with white face and legs. This horse was foaled the property of F. X. Prive, Vercheres, P. Q., and is largely of the Dansereau blood, although there is some question as to what particular horse got him. Petit Coq was sold in Canada about 1849 for $1550; went to New York and afterwards to Pennsylvania, and, about 1860, returned to Canada. He was high-headed, showy and could trot in 2 130. H. Eppihimer of Reading, Penn., who furnished this pedigree, says : "The Shaffer Pony was a natural-born trotter and had the faculty of imparting that quality to his colts, as they nearly all could trot". Page 911; Unknown 2:23. The dam of this horse was by Morgan Trotter, son of Premium Morgan, instead of " Green Mountain Morgan," as given. Page 91 2; Western Metropolis 2 130.
