Seabiscuit was a misfit. He displayed none of the attributes of beauty,
motivation or charisma that the industry of the time associated with a champion
racehorse. In fact he spent the start of his career as a loser on the track.
This book tells the story of how this horse of humble beginnings became a hero,
a champion and an inspiration to the American public during some of the darkest
years in American history. Author Laura Hillenbrand also brings to life the people that
surrounded Seabiscuit, from jockeys to trainers to owners, and how their lives
were affected by this unlikely champion. First published in 2001, Seabiscuit:
An American Legend became an instant bestseller. The subject of a
PBS
documentary and a Hollywood movie, Seabiscuit is where he
rightfully belongs once again: in the hearts of Americans and horse-racing fans
everywhere. Don't forget to check out these other Seabiscuit Items!
