Set in 1864, this book introduces Gabriel, a young slave whose free father, a horse trainer, joins the Union soldiers. Left behind, Gabriel must prove himself to his master in order to protect the horses he loves. Though the relationship between master and slaves seems idealized at times, Gabriel's story is compelling. A historical note is included. Bib.
