America's Last Wild Horses

Hope Ryden. Lyons and Burford Publishers, $14.95 (333pp) ISBN 978-1-55821-081-3

Fewer than 17,000 wild horses remain in the U.S., down from 2,000,000 in 1900; Ryden's narrative tells what has happened to them and why. In a 1970 review, PW called this ``a richly researched and well-written book with an unusual appeal.'' Photos. (Dec.)
