You might travel to and from school on a bus. When you go shopping or to visit family and friends you may get there by car. Motorized vehicles have only been part of human history for a little over 100 years. But for over 6,000 years people got where they were going using horses.
This is the first book in the
Hoofbeats Through History
series and is written from the point of view of a horse named Hark. Horses have been an important part of human history from the very beginning so it just makes sense that a horse should tell the story of the history of the world!
No Man to Romans
traces world history form the Eocene Epoch to the fall of Rome in 476 AD. Travel through time with Hark as his ancestors pull chariots in battles and cross the Alps with Hannibal. Hark will even tell you secrets about some of his ancestors - like how a very famous war horse was afraid of his own shadow! Learn about why the Great Wall was built (hint - it has something to do with horses) and much more!
The path through history is paved with hoofbeats. Hark can't wait for you to travel through time with him and learn about amazing events, meet remarkable people and learn about the important contributions horses have made throughout history.
