- Summary:
- * 2003 marks the 50th anniversary of Native Dancer's heroic bid for the Triple Crown, and Native Dancer's 5/03 publication date is perfectly timed to tie in to the running of this national event.* Books about racehorses have become tremendously popular, as evidenced by Seabiscuit (Random House, 3/01), the #1 New York Times bestseller about the legendary thoroughbred and his fabled rivalry with War Admiral.* Spanning a half-century of American life, Native Dancer incorporates such touchstones as the end of the railroad era, the dawn of the TV age, the fading old money grandeur of the Vanderbilts, and the darkest days of the Depression.
