Synopsis

Seabiscuit was a nation's treasure. The 1920s may have been the Golden Age of Sports with Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey among others dominating the scene but during the mid to late 1930s, one sports legend gave resolve and enjoyment to a nation emerging from the Great Depression. Seabiscuit was that sporting icon. The story of Seabiscuit as told so eloquently by Laura Hillenbrand has dominated the book scene for two years. Seabiscuit, Charles and Marcela Howard, Tom Smith, Red Pollard, and George Woolf haveonce again become a part of our national conscience. Now comes another gift.

It i s with great pleasure that we present a further continuation of the Seabiscuit legend with our title Letters to Seabiscuit.Compiles numerous letters written to the racing phenomenon, Seabiscuit, and his owner Charles Howard, including wishes of congratulations, suggested names for a foal, a birthday card, and a valentine.
