"The Horse in History" by Basil Tozer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the profound significance of horses throughout human history, tracing their impact from ancient civilizations up to the modern age. Tozer delves into the evolution of horse riding and breeding, providing insights into how these majestic creatures have influenced various cultures and historical events. The opening of the book presents an overview of the horse's role in early civilization, highlighting its contributions to warfare and cultural development. Tozer references historical figures like Rameses and discusses early innovations such as the use of chariots drawn by horses. He emphasizes the horse's gradual decline in significance with the advent of mechanization, a shift underscored by contemporary statistics showing a reduction in horse populations. This sets the stage for a deeper examination of horses across different historical periods, underscoring their crucial role in shaping societies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
