"Mustang "is the sweeping story of the wild horse in the culture,
history, and popular imagination of the American West. It follows
the wild horse across time, from its evolutionary origins on this
continent to its return with the conquistadors, its bloody battles
on the old frontier, its iconic status in Buffalo Bill shows and
early westerns, and its plight today as it makes its last stand on
the vanishing range. With the Bureau of Land Management proposing
to euthanize thousands of horses and ever-encroaching development
threatening the land, the mustang's position has never been more
perilous. But as Stillman reveals, the horses are still running
wild despite all the obstacles, with spirit unbroken.
"Like the best nonfiction writers of our time (Jon Krakauer and
Bruce Chatwin come to mind), Stillman's prose is inviting, her
voice authoritative, and her vision imaginative and impressively
broad." (Pam Houston, "Los Angeles Times)"
