~AS INFORMATIVE AS IT IS ENTERTAINING!~
There really was a blind horse called Tom who worked pulling flatcars for construction crews who were building our country's first transcontinental railroad... As informative as it is entertaining, this true story of the handicapped horse who became famous in his own time is very highly recommended reading and certain to become a popular addition to school and community library collections.
