I would love to validate the book "And Miles to Go," #22 from the list, if someone does take it and scan it.
I've read it, and this book tells the story of how different underground resistance movements spirited away the Polish government's most valuable bloodlines of horses, including Witez II, during World War II, to preserve what Poles felt was an irreplaceable part of Poland's national heritage. These horses were considered a national treasure. The Axis countries actually fought amongst themselves as to who would get the different horses after Poland was defeated. It's a fascinating story, not just about the horse who is one of the most influential Arabian horse sires in American lines of Arabian horses, but also about the people who were committed to saving these animals.
Judy s.22. And Miles to go, the biography of a great Arabian Horse, Witez Iiby Linel Smith, hardcover, 230 pages, contains many foreign words with a pronunciation guide at the end which might discourage some of you, I just wanted to give you as much info as I can about the book. This horse suffered hardships during WWII and then came to the United States and founded a dynasty. Well researched.
