About This Item
New York:: Grosset & Dunlap, 1940.. Reprint Edition.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: dark colored 'tweed' binding with series device on the front cover; the top edge tint is also dark a Good book, with a Fair dust jacket. 8vo (8.25 inches tall) . Description: Dust jacket art by Percy Leason. Illustrated with drawings by Jacob Bates Abbott. Midnight was no ordinary horse. Born to a beautiful black mare, Lady Ebony, and sired by a chestnut stallion, the leader of a wild band, he was born to the freedom of the high country. From his mother he learned the ways of the wild and survival. When they were attacked by a wolf pack, he learned the greatest lesson of all -- that a wild mother will sacrifice herself for her own young. When Lady Ebony ran away to join the wild herd, her owner accused Sam, an old squatter who had admired the mare, of stealing her. This is the story of how Midnight survives the wolf attack, and matures to claim his own band of mares, and -- without ever knowing of it -- exonerates old Sam of the horse-thief accusation. This is part of the Famous Horse Stories series, with the series device on the spine and front cover.
