126 ROAD, TRACK, AND STABLE. 
The Lamberts and the Knoxes are, as I have said, 
decendants of Sherman, the handsome little chestnut 
son of Justin Morgan. 
There are also two families of fine roadsters and 
trotters descended from Bulrush, another son of Jus 
tin Morgan. These are the Fearnaughts and the Win- 
throp Morrills. Both of these families are inbred to 
Justin Morgan, and they show a great deal of quality 
and of spirit, notwithstanding the fact that Bulrush 
was a coarse horse, with a very heavy mane and tail, 
suggestive of Canadian blood on his dam’s side. This 
fact goes far to prove that Justin Morgan was well 
bred on both sides. For if his dam had been — as 
some writers assert — a coarse-bred Canadian mare, 
like the dam of Bulrush, then inbreeding among the 
descendants of Justin Morgan, especially in the Bul- 
rush line, could hardly have produced horses so fine 
and bloodlike as are many of the Fearnaughts and of 
the Morrills. The Fearnaughts are usually chestnut 
horses; much resembling the Lamberts, but somewhat 
larger, and perhaps a little more fiery. 
Another excellent family of roadsters is that of the 
Drews. The original Drew, a Maine horse, was foaled 
in 1842, his sire, it is said, being a pure thoroughbred, 
a bay horse sixteen hands high. Drew was a dark 
bay or brown, standing fifteen and a quarter hands, and 
weighing about a thousand pounds. He had good 
shoulders and a fine neck “light at the head, deep 
at the body,” and well arched. His body was small ; 
his hips were long and beautifully turned. He had 
stout legs, long pasterns a thin mane, and a nice 
short coat. His dam also was very well bred, being 
by Sir Henry, a son of American Eclipse, out of a
