Because documentation of the Morgan Horse’s history is sparse, varied, and sometimes conflicting, efforts to verify facts require a great deal of research and confirmation from multiple sources. In a project of this magnitude, it is implausible to assume that all avenues of research are completely exhausted on a given topic, especially when new evidence continues to spring up in all corners of the nation.
In a strong effort to make sure that our book maintains the highest level of factual accuracy, we will post corrections to this page if we feel the supporting evidence is strong enough to warrant a notation or revision. If you have read our book and believe that a correction is needed, please contact us (info@americasownhorse.com) with a brief description of the change you feel should be made, the page number of the passage, links or attachments with supporting evidence, and your contact information.
--Page 9 incorrectly states that President James Monroe rode Figure in a military muster in 1809; the year was, in fact, 1817. James Monroe did not assume the office of presidency until 1817.
--“Jeanne Millen” should read “Jeanne Mellin.” Jeanne Mellin Herrick is a widely respected artist and author who has contributed greatly to the artistic aspect of the Morgan Horse.
