Shoshoni Pony, Hardcover

Horses are not indigenous to the West. Prehistoric horses existed before humans came to the region but the horse only appeared after the Spanish Conquistadores brought their Spanish stallions to America. The arrival of the horse in the West changed forever the lives of the Native people and shaped the history of the West in many ways.

About author(s):Dr. Carol Lynn MacGregor, a PhD in American history, is a native Idahoan who has ridden and trained horses all her life. She serves as an adjunct professor at Boise State University and has previously published a book about the Lewis and Clark expedition.
