OTHER DAUGHTERS. 44T 



dam of the stallions Piedmont and Almont Eagle — distinction enoughi 

 for one mare. She is owned by Gen. W. T. Withers, of Kentucky.. 

 These two sons prove her value as a brood mare. 



Monogram. This was a bay mare — not one of the largest, but one^ 

 of the finest I ever saw. Her dam was, so far as can be ascertained,, 

 of unknown blood. She was sent by a Mr. Boice from South Carolina,, 

 to be bred to Mambrino Chief, then owned by Col. Willis F. Jones,, 

 near Versailles, Ky., and was said by those who knew her, to be a. 

 very fine animal, and a superior roadster. She had previously been, 

 purchased in the vicinity of the city of New York, and sent to South. 

 Carolina. 



During the war Col. Jones took her back to her owner in South: 

 Carolina, who refused 11,350 in gold for her, when one dollar in gold, 

 was worth from two to three in currency. 



Monogram is one of Mambrino Chief's last get (as he died in 1861),, 

 and this mare was foaled in 1862. She is not only one of the finest 

 and most perfect of the Mambrino Chief mares, but she has remarka- 

 bly fine trotting action, and would doubtless have been very fast had 

 she been trained. She has proved herself to be a brood mare of a very 

 high order. 



In 1870 she produced the colt Almont Chief, by Almont, bred by 

 Col. Richard West, of Georgetown, Ky., who then owned the dam. 

 Almont Chief was sold at two years old, at Col. West's auction sale 

 in 1872, and brought $2,475. 



Maggie. This was a grey mare; her dam was by the Indiana pacer 

 .Red Buck. She was at one time owned and perhaps bred by R. A.- 

 Alexander. She was subsequently owned by Charles S. Dole, Esq.,. 

 and by E. S. Wadsworth, Esq., of Chicago, She produced the black, 

 stallion Woodburn Pilot, by Pilot Junior. Woodburn Pilot was the 

 sire of Argonaut, and was sold for $10,000 to the Vermont Stock. 

 Company. He was certainly one of the best stallions ever produced, 

 in the State of Kentucky, but he got out of his latitude when, he went, 

 to Vermont. The highly bred mares of Kentucky and the West,, 

 partly descended from the thoroughbred, were his proper field. 



Blandina. The dam of this mare was the Burch mare, by BrowTL 

 Pilot, son of Copperbottom, the dam of Rosalind, by Alexander's- 

 Abdallah. Blandina was the dam of Abdallah Pilot, mentioned ia 

 Chapter XI; and of Swigert, described in Chapter XXIV; and of 

 several other animals highly prized. She was a valuable mare. She- 

 was owned at Woodburn farm, Kentucky, by the Messrs. Alexander..
