rush; g sire, Justin Morgan. Color, blood bay, 15 hands

BiACK HAWK 



Was foaled in 1833, the property of TVingate Twombly, 

 of Greenland (formerly of Durliani,) N. H. Sired by Sher- 

 man, g sire, Justin Morgan. His dam was raised in New 

 Brunswick, and is described as a half-blood English mare, a 

 very fine animal, black, and a fast trotter. When four years 

 old, Black Hawk was purchased by Benj. Thurston, of Low- 

 ell, Mass., for a family horse, and kept for that purpose un- 

 til 1844, when he was purchased by David Hill, Esq., of Brid- 

 port, Tcrmont, by whom he is now owned. 



Black Hawk is a little under fifteen hands high, and 

 weighs about ten- hundred pounds. His compact, symmet- 

 rical, and muscular form, and nervous, elastic style of ac- 

 tion, give unmistakable evidence of the speed and endurance 

 he has shown upon the turf and road j and although now 

 twenty-three years old, his eye has lost none of its bright- 

 ness, his health is still excellent, and his movements still 

 graceful and energetic. One of the chief excellencies of Black 

 Hawk, and one which he possesses in a remarkable degree, 

 is the uniformity with which he stamps upon his offspring his 

 own distinguishing characteristics. Few colts were sired 

 by him previous to 1844, when he became the property of 

 David Hill, and since that time he has been constantly kept 

 at that gentleman's stable, in Bridport, A't. (See Cut —
