A propos de cet article

First Edition. Original publisher's dark blue cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine. 5 1/2" x 7 1/2." 314 pages, complete. A few black-and-white plates, complete. Pages are very clean and intact except for light age toning and tiny foxing spots limited to edges of text block. Covers are very clean and intact except for a small bump at bottom edge on front, minimal wear to extremities, slightly bumped corners, and a slight lean in the binding toward the fore-edge. A Very Good copy. This book contains autobiographical stories written by William B. Fasig (1845-1902) which appear under the section, "Tales of the Turf," and a biographical account by W. H. Gocher who provides additional information about Fasig and a history of Cleveland's horse-racing scene in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Fasig was a leading figure of the horse-racing community (specializing in harness racing) and co-founded the Fasig-Tipton Company, the famous thoroughbred horse auctionhouse, with Edward A. Tipton in 1898. Fasig-Tipton is still active to this day. Gocher has included obituaries paying tribute to the late Fasig, whose authors commend his ability and character as a "horseman, advertiser, reinsman, writer and a man." One of the obituary writers was Tipton who praises Fasig as a "horseman." The book begins with Gocher's biography. Fasig's "Tales of the Turf" begins on Page 187.…
