Omschrijving

Sunny Jim: The Life Of America's Most Beloved Horseman, James Fitzsimmons is a biography written by Jimmy Breslin. The book tells the story of James Fitzsimmons, who is considered to be one of the greatest horse trainers in American history. Fitzsimmons was born in 1874 in Ireland and immigrated to the United States as a young boy. He began working with horses at a young age and quickly developed a talent for training them. Fitzsimmons went on to train some of the most famous racehorses in American history, including Gallant Fox and his son, Omaha, who both won the Triple Crown. He also trained Seabiscuit, one of the most popular racehorses of all time. The book delves into Fitzsimmons' personal life, including his relationships with his family and his struggles with alcoholism. It also explores the world of horse racing in the early 20th century, including the politics and corruption that were rampant in the industry at the time. Through interviews with Fitzsimmons' family members, friends, and colleagues, as well as extensive research, Breslin paints a vivid picture of Sunny Jim's life and legacy. The book is a tribute to a man who was not only a great horseman but also a beloved figure in American sports history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
