Omschrijving

""Tales of the Turf: And Rank Outsiders"" is a book written by Richard L. Cary Jr. and originally published in 1891. The book is a collection of short stories that revolve around the world of horse racing, gambling, and the people who inhabit it. The stories are set in the late 19th century and offer a glimpse into the lives of jockeys, trainers, owners, and other characters involved in the sport. The book is divided into two sections, with the first part focusing on stories related to horse racing, while the second part explores the lives of those who are considered ""rank outsiders"" in society. The stories are written in a style that is both entertaining and informative, providing readers with a unique perspective on the world of horse racing and the people who participate in it. Throughout the book, the author delves into the various aspects of horse racing, including the thrill of the race, the dangers involved, and the strategies employed by those who participate. He also explores the themes of love, loss, and redemption, as many of the stories feature characters who are struggling to overcome personal challenges. Overall, ""Tales of the Turf: And Rank Outsiders"" is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the world of horse racing, as well as those who enjoy well-crafted short stories. The book offers a glimpse into a bygone era and provides a unique perspective on the sport and the people who participate in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
