Обкладинка Katherine C. Mooney: Race Horse Men (ePUB)

Katherine C. Mooney recaptures the sights, sensations, and illusions of America’s first mass spectator sport. Her central characters are not the elite white owners of slaves and thoroughbreds but the black jockeys, grooms, and horse trainers who called themselves race horse men and made the racetrack run–until Jim Crow drove them from their jobs.
