商品簡介
From the time people first rode horses more than 5,000 years ago, these amazing creatures have changed the way humans live, travel, fight, work, and play. In her captivating storytelling style, Elizabeth MacLeod brings to life six of the most exciting horses that have influenced the course of civilization:
- Bucephalus, the valiant horse that led Alexander the Great fearlessly into battle
- the mighty mustangs used by the Native peoples to hunt buffalo
- hard-working pit ponies that helped fuel the Industrial Revolution by hauling coal out of mines
- the Pony Express, that helped revolutionize the way people communicated
- Seabiscuit, whose triumphs at the racetrack provided people with hope and encouragement during the dark days of the Great Depression
- Sybil Ludington's horse, Star, an unsung hero of the American Revolutionary War.
Horses hold a natural fascination for many young people. What better way to introduce them to world history than through the stories of these magnificent animals.
