BLACK HAWK (CRIM'S, BEN FRANKLIN) 



Said to be by Black Hawk, son of Davy Crockett : dam by Ben 

 Franklin, a Whip horse bred in Kentucky; and 2d dam thoroughbred. 

 A. J. Swaney, Gallatin, Tenn., writes : "Crim's Ben Franklin was an extraor- 

 dinary saddle horse, having fine speed and style in his gaits. His sire, Black 

 Hawk, was the finest show horse I ever saw, and was never defeated in the fair 

 ring. No better family of horses have been here in their class. At that 

 time we cared but little for extreme speed ; we stood for style and elegance 

 in saddle horses and for roadsters, but there is not a doubt but with 

 proper training either Black Hawk or Ben Franklin would have shown great 

 speed".
