During the Bicentennial summer of 1976, two journalists traveled with & documented the longest horse race in history--New York to California in 100 days. One hundred two entries from 32 native states & nine foreign countries traveled with an international community of over 400 people at a rate of 40 miles per day, while camping in fairgrounds & pastures near small rural communities. This book contains the complete story, a history of cross-country horse racing, & over 200 of the 6000 photographs the authors took that summer. The story is true, the photographs are magnificent, & their adventure may never be equalled.
