APRIL, 1962 5 A HORSE N AME D JUSTIN MORGAN, by Harold W. Feiton, was recently published by Dodd, Mead & Company, New York. Written primarily for young people, it is the story of the original Morgan hor;e, the hea,·twarming biog,·aphy of the outstanding Little bay colt from Ver­ New A10-tffan mont . . Leonard Everett Fisher's striking black-and-white drawings cap­ ture the spirit and courage of "the most horse for his inches." Weit-known for his writing in the field of American folklore and Book For taJJ tales, Mr. Felton bestirs emotions and evokes a surge of pride as he recounts the dmwing matches, the races, the Long days of hard work, the passing from hand to hand of the horse named Justin Morgan. This Young People popular author has consented to share with readers of The Morg@n Hone Magazine some of his feelings and experiences in the writing of A HORSE NAMED JUSTIN MORGAN.
