Red Tartar
Par Page Cooper. 1957
Red Tartar, the thoroughbred’ chestnut Randy had raised himself, was the Courtney’s one consolation for the loss of the family…
fortune; but for the life of him Randy couldn’t see how he and the Colonel, his grandfather, could manage to keep him. Despite the sympathy and friendship of Sue Anne, the awkward girl whose father had bought the old Courtney home, Randy’s hopes of ever racing the big horse were dim until irrepressible Dave Black came to the farm as a paying guest for the summer. The three young people joined forces to launch Red Tartar’s career and, inspired by neighboring Monticello and a hoard of colonial costumes in the big house, they were soon deep in plans for a revival of a Revolutionary Hunt Meet in full regalia. With the enthusiastic support of the local hunt club the prospect of racing Red at least once on his home ground was encouraging. But Red was still cranky with other horses and with most people, and Sue Anne’s brother was determined to beat him by fair or foul means. Rich in the everyday details of caring for and working with horses, set in the heart of rural Virginia where the horse is still a way of life, this story will delight anyone who has had, or dreamed of, a horse of his own.

In The Company Of Black Men: The African Influence on African American Culture in New York City
Par Craig Steven Wilder. 2002
Traces the development of African-American community traditions over three centuriesFrom the subaltern assemblies of the enslaved in colonial New York…
City to the benevolent New York African Society of the early national era to the formation of the African Blood Brotherhood in twentieth century Harlem, voluntary associations have been a fixture of African-American communities.In the Company of Black Men examines New York City over three centuries to show that enslaved Africans provided the institutional foundation upon which African-American religious, political, and social culture could flourish. Arguing that the universality of the voluntary tradition in African-American communities has its basis in collectivism—a behavioral and rhetorical tendency to privilege the group over the individual—it explores the institutions that arose as enslaved Africans exploited the potential for group action and mass resistance. Craig Steven Wilder’s research is particularly exciting in its assertion that Africans entered the Americas equipped with intellectual traditions and sociological models that facilitated a communitarian response to oppression. Presenting a dramatic shift from previous work which has viewed African-American male associations as derivative and imitative of white male counterparts, In the Company of Black Men provides a ground-breaking template for investigating antebellum black institutions.

known collectively as pantropy, that changed the human pattern in a man's shape and chemistry before he was born. But the pantropists didn't stop with biology.
