Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: Very Good. Testimony from explorers, mountain men, traders, soldiers, settlers, and gold rushers of the nineteenth century." Includes bibliographical references (p. 153-158) and index. a must-have for anyone with an interest in the subject is Mike Stamm's The Mule Alternative. Modest in appearance and presentation, The Mule Alternative is packed with insight into mules and the history of their use in the United States. Stamm discusses the viability of the mule through the letters and diaries of historical figures. A unique approach to say the least, but one that works very well indeed. Practical and poignant (many of the historical passages concern the ravages of war and exploration) by turn,The Mule Alternative has the ability to hook and hold the reader's attention. History buffs and equestrians with an affinity for the mighty mule will be delighted with this book. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. From The New Yorker Wildlife biologist Mike Stamm began research several years ago into a number of questions concerning the historic use of mules during the settlement of the Old West. He wanted to know why many early westerners preferred mules to horses as saddle animals: how mules compared to horses in terms of endurance, hardiness, surefootedness, longevity, and manageability, and why mules have fallen into relative disfavor today. Using historic diaries of early travelers, including mountain men, traders, soldiers, and settlers. Stamm puts together a remarkable testimony in praise of the saddle mule. Stamm includes excellent historical photos and maps in this book. His research will be useful to both mule and horse owners and everyone interested in transportation during the settlement of the West. Codice articolo SKU2010027987
