This book is a recent purchase for me and is a reprint of a German book translated into English and published in the USA in 1901. Written by a professor at the Dresden Veterinary School, apparently the premiere such establishment in the world at the time. The main topic is horse shoeing but there are good articles on wagon building and painting and even the tools needed for blacksmithing. Clearly very niche subject matter but of interest to me in understanding this important element of horsemastership and the implications on military logistics of the humble horseshoe. Recommended if you need a detailed understanding of this topic or indeed if you really wish to appreciate the logistical issues facing generals of the horse transport era in your wargaming !!!!!
