PREFACE 
The compiler of these brief biographies wishes to acknowledge 
his indebtedness for material and inspiration in a number of 
the stories told, to the files of The Breeder’s Gazette and to books 
of Mr. Sanvers (12) and “The Druid.” The American worthies 
here portrayed have had their tales infinitely better told in such 
volumes as “At the Sign of the Stock Yard Inn,” “Shorthorn 
Cattle,” and the “Story of the Herefords” by Mr. Sanpers, and 
he who would delve farther into their romance, can gain much 
of interest and inspiration by a study of their pages. To the 
many friends of those whose portraits hang on these walls, 
another debt is due, as their acquaintanceship and intimacy have 
been freely drawn upon, but the list is far too long to enumerate. 
The richness of association of Mr. OciLvie (6) and Mr. LEoNARD 
(64) with these heroes of a day gone by has also been liberally 
tapped, and heartiest appreciation of their unfailing good nature 
and cordial support is hereby expressed.
