Synopsis
Excerpt from Horses on Board Ship: A Guide to Their Management
The photographs in this book were taken by me, while I was on Government transport duty.
The existence of the South African war is my excuse for giving as much prominence as I have done to military horse transport and allied subjects.
AS this book is the outcome of practical experience among horses on board ship, I trust it may be of use to readers who are interested in its important subject.
