KNIGHT, L. W., M.D.

Publication: The Cumberland Press, 1902, Nashville

First Edition. Blue Cloth. 111pp. Frontispiece portrait of author. 6 full-page illustrations of Mules and Jacks. Authors Preface: "Realizing the constantly growing demand for mules in the United States, as well as other countries, I have been induced to write a book in my old and declining years on the subject of breeding jacks and jennets as well as mules. I know of no literature on the subject of breeding jacks and jennets, and very little on the mule, which I regard as the best animal for the Southern and tropical climates. I have written this book without notes, and entirely from memory, for the benefit of the young stock farmers, who are, or will be engaged in this line of business. I am aware there are many imperfections in the book, which I trust a generous public will excuse under the circumstances." Well organized, informative, and an interesting work on these important work animals. Very slight wear to spine ends and corners, else a fine copy.
