This book is a visual tribute to the American mustang, one of our country's few remaining native horse species. Exquisite color photographs, accompanied by insightful text, tell the story of the mustangs?their history, social structure, and struggle to survive and attempts by humans to control their population. Once almost extinct, mustangs have fared better since 1971, when federal legislation set up programs for the protection of the species and its habitat. Award-winning photographers Momatiuk and Eastcott, whose works have appeared in magazines such as National Geographic, traveled through Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota in search of the mustangs. Curtin's text reflects her respect for wild horses and their natural habitat. A high-quality production, this will be enjoyed by horse lovers and those with an interest in the rugged West.?Deborah Emerson, Monroe Community Coll. Lib., Rochester, N.Y.
