My Quest of the Arab Horse is a book written by Homer Davenport in 1909. The book describes the author's journey to the Arabian Peninsula in search of the perfect Arabian horse. Davenport was a well-known political cartoonist and journalist, but he was also an avid horse enthusiast. In the book, Davenport recounts his travels through the deserts of Arabia, where he meets with Bedouin tribes and horse breeders in search of the finest Arabian horses. He describes in detail the physical characteristics of the horses he encounters, as well as their temperament, intelligence, and overall quality. Davenport's quest for the perfect Arabian horse takes him to many different locations, including the cities of Damascus and Aleppo, as well as the desert oasis of Palmyra. Along the way, he encounters many challenges, including harsh weather conditions, difficult terrain, and cultural barriers. Despite these obstacles, Davenport is eventually successful in his quest, and he returns to the United States with several prized Arabian horses. He goes on to become a prominent breeder of Arabian horses, and his book remains a classic in the field of equine literature. Overall, My Quest of the Arab Horse is a fascinating account of one man's search for the perfect horse, set against the backdrop of the Arabian Peninsula and its rich cultural history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
