THE MORGAN HORSE 



John B. Clark, editor of " Mirror and Farmer", Manchester, 

 New Hampshire, writes : " The dam of Honest Allen was a chest- 

 nut mare of the Morgan type brought to Manchester from Franconia 

 and sold to a stable-keeper named Stephen James, now dead. Her 

 owner in Franconia said he traded and got her out of a stage team in 

 Vermont. She was a mare of considerable speed, great finish and 

 nice appearance. She was dam of White Mountain Morgan, and 

 several others that could trot in 2 150 or better. Honest Allen was a 

 horse of the finest disposition, and imparted that quality to all his 

 get. Had a fine thoroughbred head, beautiful eye, nice back, strong 

 limbs, excellent feet. He was a natural trotter". 



Mr. Richmond Smith says: "The dam was golden chestnut, 

 with one or more white feet, decidedly of Morgan pattern".
