Presented in its original oversize trim and featuring period photographs and specially commissioned artwork by Howard Brodie, \u003ci\u003eSeabiscuit: The Saga of a Great Champion\u003c\/i\u003e follows the thoroughbred's illustrious career from his humble birth in Kentucky to his remarkable string of races across the country from 1936 to 1940, and culminating in his stunning come-back victory at Santa Anita--a moment that confirmed Seabiscuit as one of the greatest racehorses of all time. In researching her best-selling \u003ci\u003eSeabiscuit: An American Legend\u003c\/i\u003e, Laura Hillenbrand drew on B. K. Beckwith's book, a rare contemporary account that preserves insights, anecdotes, and quotes found no where else.
