Few Americans triumphed more gallantly over odds, wore honors more
gracefully, or were so honestly mourned after death than Sir
Archie, forefather of such great horses as Man O'War, Gallant Fox,
War Admiral, and Native Dancer. The depiction of the antebellum
life of which Sir Archie was a part is as colorful and exciting as
his career.
