Context

A typed document preface introductory page where the author reminisces about a suggestion from Nick to write about their experiences with horses, discussing how Elaine recorded these conversations in a notebook while planning to type them out after repairing their typewriter. The author describes a lifelong connection with horses, beginning from the day he was born on November 7, 1918, when the doctor arrived at their family farm in a horse-drawn vehicle, and handed the reins to the author’s father while he went into the house to deliver the new Schwarz baby. Schwarz uses this format to relate stories about the horses in his life; he includes photo copies of each of his horses.
