Publisher's Synopsis
Within the covers of this anthology rest the accounts of a rare breed of men and women. Here are the mounted dare-devils who rode hell-bent for leather through raging fires sweeping the plains around them. Here are the mounted mystics seeking inner enlightenment via that altar of travel, the saddle. Here are the forgotten ones, whose stirring stories deserve to be told again. Here are the famous ones whose tales of equestrian exploration have been recounted over a thousand campfires. They are all here in this illustrated first volume of an amazing new series dedicated to preserving and sharing the mounted adventures of the world's most important Long Riders. This unprecedented collection will include five volumes and encompass one hundred of the most important equestrian travel stories of all time. Some may be well known to you. Some will be showcased in these volumes for the first time in history. Regardless, what you can count on is being swept away by the sound of the galloping hooves which originate from this, our instinctive passion for equestrian travel. So relax, sit back and get ready for the literary ride of your life when you open up and explore this book.
