Description
Travis, Lorraine (1990). The Mule. J. A. Allen London. 150 Seiten. ISBN 978-0851315034
Surprisingly little has been recorded about the misunderstood mule, and this book is one of the most comprehensive available, dispelling many of the popular myths associated with this hybrid. Mules have been bred for about 3000 years, because not only do they inherit qualities from each breed – strength and speed from the horse, stamina and patience from the donkey – but have in addition mysterious and unique qualities which are pure mule. Book segments include:
- The mule in history
- Military use of the mule
- Scientific aspects
- Mule care and ownership
