Excerpt from A Biographical Catalog of the Portrait Gallery of the Saddle and Sirloin ClubThe 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. Sanders (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. Sanders, 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. Ogilvie (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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
