When Montana Outraced the East: The Reign of Western Thoroughbreds, 1886 to 1900 - book talk by Catharine Melin-Moser In-Person
In Gilded-Age Montana, three former frontiersmen turned from speculation in minerals to speculation in Thoroughbred horses. When Montana Outraced the East retrieves the largely forgotten late nineteenth-century golden age of the Montana Thoroughbred industry, when Montana horses won some of the biggest prizes in American horse racing, confounding national sportswriters and threatening to reshape the balance of power within America’s oldest sport. Catharine Melin-Moser recreates the thrilling era when, through the shrewd foresight, hustle, and luck that had made them millionaires, Montana entrepreneurs made a lasting mark on American horse racing.
