This manuscript originated from a lifetime of love of the horses, especially racehorses. It utilizes the biblical history and is supported by scriptures of the Holy Bible. Each chapter (I have them as races in lieu of chapters) contains four Holy Bible scriptures that pertain to horses. Race 1 gives a background of the history of horse from the time of Noah and his ark to the present time. Each race thereafter gives the history and story of the many racehorses that were owned by the author and trials and expense of each one. The manuscript includes the authors wisdom of thoroughbred racehorses and the gamble of investing in the racehorse business. The conclusion of the manuscript tells the story of this ninety-one-year old horse owner and his companion and what lead to the decision that he must terminate his racing investments.
Read Along or Enhanced eBook: In this latest book by acclaimed science writer April Pulley Sayre, young readers follow along as a mother humpback whale and her calf make their annual trek from the warm waters of the Caribbean to their summer feeding grounds off the coast of New England and back again. Within this extraordinary story of migration, Sayre provides information about how humpback whales breathe, sing, and how they got their name—a secondary layer of text expands upon the more intricate details. But aside from the basics about the humpback whale species, HERE COME THE HUMPBACKS! also delves into the dangers these whales face—from other mammals and sea life such as hungry orcas, to man-made threats like pollution and giant ships. Jamie Hogan’s stunning, rich pastel illustrations complement Sayre’s text beautifully, and make this book a great choice for a read-aloud in the classroom, library, or at home.

Martha's Vineyard became an integral part of the whaling industry at the beginning of the eighteenth century and inspired a lasting romantic enthusiasm for life on the open ocean. From shorewhaling to daring voyages into the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans, the insular whaling community offered a tempting path for many young Vineyarders to rise from cabin boy to captain. Local businesses were enticed by the potential profit from whaling voyages, and many reaped generous rewards from successful whale oil harvests. Through memoirs, music and memorabilia, author Thomas Dresser recounts this dramatic history of the bygone era of whaling on Martha's Vineyard.
