Development of the Modern Horse Traced From Ancient Herds
A Montana piece recounts how horse ancestors like Sohippus Miohippus and Pliohippus evolved from four-toed origins to multi-toed forms. It highlights early Teritary and Miocene stages, then notes the horse’s role in human history as a labor of love by the author, ending with a visit to the A. B. Clarke Horse Sales Co. yards at Miles City on June 22, 1908 and a description of the large, bustling yard and sale system.
