Search - Seabiscuit: An American Legend

I loved this book! I had the opportunity to get close to thoroughbreds when my former neighbor was raising them. Magnificent animals! This books details a piece of history that had been unknown to me before. A fascinating true story!

Tremendous horse and a tremendous book to honor him. I loved this book. I recommend it for horse lovers and non horse people.

Seabiscuit was an unlikely champion: a roughhewn, undersized horse with a sad little tail and knees that wouldn't straighten all the way. But, thanks to the efforts of three men, Seabiscuit became one of the most spectacular performers in sports history. The rags-to-riches horse emerged as an American cultural icon, drawing an immense following and becoming the single biggest newsmaker of 1938 -- receiving more coverage than FDR or Hitler. Laura Hillenbrand beautifully renders this story of one horse's journey from also-ran to national luminary.

A great book and a great subject.

Wonderful famous horse. Being from Saratoga this book really hit home

Very well written and kept my interest the whole way through. I owned a horse as a kid, and I also worked at the DRC (Detroit Race Course) back in the early 60's because my best friend's Mom owned race horses. If you read the book, then you must watch the movie too...

Good book. If I remember this follows the movie pretty closely and the book is a little dry so if you want to hear the story but don't want to read the book, watch the movie!
