Description
Seabiscuit: The True Story of Three Men and a Racehorse by Laura Hillenbrand tells the remarkable story of an unlikely hero - a stunted colt with asymmetrical knees who captured the hearts of America in 1936. Despite being hacked around no-good race tracks for two years, Seabiscuit's determination and character earned him a place in history. As modern America was born out of the Depression and the dustbowl, Seabiscuit became an unlikely symbol of hope and resilience. His popularity soared, with crowds of 60,000 cheering him on at the Santa Anita Handicap, and he received more newspaper column inches than some of the world's most prominent leaders. This book is a testament to the power of perseverance and the human spirit, and offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history.
