Show morepresented to him by the sultan of Turkey in 1879, also their sons "General Beale, " "Hegira, " and "Islam," ; bred by Randolph Huntington ; also reference to the celebrated stallion "Henry Clay." First edition of this wonderful contemporary account of the Arabian stallions presented to General Grant in 1879 by the Sultan of Turkey; "Leopard" went on to achieve eternal fame as the first Arabian stallion to be registered in the stud book of the Arabian Horse Club of America. - During Grant's 1878 state visit to Constantinople, Sultan Abdul Hamid II personally escorted the General through the royal stables, and noting his fondness for horses, presented Grant with two stallions to be shipped back to the United States. The horses fell under the care of the breeder Randolph Huntington, who attempted to derive a new American breed from the Arabians using the old breeders' rule of "out-cross once and breed back by three closely related sources." - Huntington prepared the text of the present work as well as commissioning portraits of the stallions, and dedicated the book the the recently-deceased "General U. S. Grant, and his love for horses." - Several pages loose; severe edge defects; some tears. Frontispiece: "Leopard", an Arabian Stallion, foaled in 1873. Presented to General U.S. Grant by the Sultan of Turkey, and by him delivered in America May 30, 1879.
