E. Daumas (1803-1871) was a French general and writer.
Sheila M. Ohlendorf was brought up in Mexican mining camps; attended boarding school in Edinburgh, Scotland; lived in Nassau, in the Bahamas, for two years; and has resided in Mexico, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. While engaged in research for Stuart Cloete, the South African novelist, she became interested in this book. "Mr. Cloete, writing a book on the use of the horse in war, asked me to do research for him in the Latin American field because I am bilingual in Spanish. I decided that the book would be of great interest to horsemen, particularly now that there is a tremendous interest in the Arabian horse in the United States. The Spanish translation was poor; so I obtained a copy in the original French and translated it from that language."
