"Horses at Work" by Ann Norton Greene, describes the role(s) of horses in American society (circa 1800 to the present) and our Society's thinking about horses relates all that to the advent and expansion of the Industrial Revolution. It is truly a superb and erudite history of not just the horse in America, but of the dynamic of its' role changes as the Industrial Revolution unfolded.
This is a tremendous book! It is one of the best American history books I have read since[[ASIN:0743226720 1776]]and[[ASIN:019518159X Washington's Crossing (Pivotal Moments in American History)]].
