Joel Goss knows that Little Bub is a special colt, even though he's a runt. And when schoolteacher Justin Morgan asks Joel to break the colt in, Joel is thrilled! Soon word about Little Bub has spread throughout the entire Northeast -- this spirited colt can pull heavier loads than a pair of oxen. And run faster than thoroughbreds!
This is the story of the little runt who became the father of the world-famous breed of American horses -- the Morgan.
"A thing of beauty in every respect and a treasured addition to the home library."
-- "Washington Post"
