POLLARD MORGAN 



Chestnut with blaze, about 15 hands, 950 pounds ; foaled about 1847 ;bred 

 by Col. James Hersey, Sumner, Me. ; got by Whalebone, son of Sherman 

 Morgan : dam the Hersey mare from Canton, Me., said to be of English 

 blood ; 2d dam Queen Bess, white, said to be by Revenge, son of Justin 

 Morgan. Sold when three to D. Ricker, Hartford, Me., for $65 ; to Isaac Strick- 

 land, Livermore, Me. ; Lewis Pollard, Turner, Me. ; Dr. Alonzo Garcelon, 

 Lewiston, Me. Dr. Garcelon writes : " When I bought the horse he was 

 four or five, and a perfect specimen of the Morgan stock. I owned Pollard 

 Morgan about three years, using him in the stud two seasons, and the rest 

 of the time driving him in my professional business. He was sold by me 

 to Mr. Jack of Portland, Me., who immediately sent him to New York city, 

 where I last saw him, in 1853, I think, at his stable, corner of Fourth avenue 

 and Twenty-third street. Of his subsequent history I know nothing. While 

 in my possession he sired many of the best horses known for several years 

 afterward in this section of the State, and at the present time many of our 

 best horses are his lineal descendants. At same time I owned him, I owned 

 a Messenger mare, one of the most elegant of her day, and raised from this 

 cross as fine a stud as can well be found. I have been in the practice of 

 medicine 49 years, riding daily, and I have never yet found a class of 

 horses that could compare favorably with those possessing a good share of 

 Morgan blood".
