And Miles to Go: The Biography of a Great Arabian Horse, Witez II
by Linell Smith[from the book jacket] The great Arabian horse Witez II endured the hardships of the Second World War in Europe, then came to the United States to found a dynasty to rival that of Man-O-War. This is his biography, told from actual sources in Europe and America. Except for details of his early life in Poland, where records were scant, it is all true. Witez II was foaled under the White Eagle of Poland, matured under the German Swastika, and achieved his greatest fame in America. His story includes that of the Poles who reared him, the Germans who cared for him, and the Americans who were lucky enough to secure him at an Army auction. In this book with Witez are Stasik Kowalski, the young Pole who risked his life for him; the two German veterinarians who surrendered to the Allies to save their horses; and Witez's American owners, Earle and Frances Hurlbutt. The fine breeding policies of the latter resulted in the remarkable Arabians sired by Witez. But most important of all is Witez himself, the horse whose name meant "chieftain and knight, prince and hero, all rolled into one." Witez II fulfilled the promise of his name. Linell Smith is herself a breeder of Arabian horses on the Maryland farm where she lives with her husband, their three daughters and an array of pets which include cats, dogs, horses, and goats. Of And Miles to Go she says, "This book wrote itself, really. The story was there; it simply needed to be set down. The research work required to make the book as accurate as possible was absolutely fascinating--from my trip to Poland through my lively correspondence with the charming Frances Hurlbutt. "By far the most important element of Witez's story was the amazing effect he had on those who were close to him. The people who loved Witez broke through the blank walls of groups and found each other. I myself, in the process of tracking him to his beginnings, felt at home in a strange land whose political philosophy differed strongly from mine. The kindness and gracious hospitality offered me were more than enough to make any stranger comfortable, but the great thing was getting to know the people and finding that they were friends. My thanks to Witez. It was a welcome lesson and one that has given me joy." Images are described.
