 J. W. Thompson, in "Maine-Bred Horses", says: "Mr. Bradley sold him to 

 Merrill Wyman, also of Fryeburg, and he, in 1840, to Gen. Philo Clark of 

 Turner, Me., for $350. Gen. Clark kept him until 1853 and he was then sold 

 toAlvah Merrill, also of Turner, Me., for Sioo. He had become partially para- 

 lyzed some three years before in consequence of an injury. After having several 

 different owners he died in Phillips, Me., in 1858. A horse of fine style and 

 carriage. A favorite parade horse. In all his leading characteristics he bore 

 a striking resemblance to the best type of the Morgan breed of horses, and al- 

 ways exhibited in a high degree those qualities that have given them their justly- 

 earned celebrity ". Mr. Linsley says : " He was the sire of Whalebone, who, 

 in double harness with Lantern, trotted a match on Long Island in June, 

 1855, against Stella and Alice Gray, mile heats, beating them in 2 142. He 

 has the reputation of being a fine horse ". H. Bradford, Turner, Me., writes : 

 " He was one of the best horses ever owned in this part of the State. He 

 was never handled on a track and I think in his day there was not a trotting 

 track in Maine. In a carriage he was all speed and style, and the faster he 

 went the more style he put on ".
