Biographical or historical note |
"The book concept was conceived by the publisher to tie in with the 2017 World Trotting Conference and the fifth leg of the World Driving Championship, both held in Prince Edward Island (PEI) Canada, in the summer of 2017. ... Under the government letterhead, a letter bearing Robert Mitchell's [Hon. Robert Mitchell, Prince Edward Island Minister of Communities, Land and Environment] signature was sent out to the harness racing government bodies of 20 countries from five continents. In it, a request was made for a short review of harness racing history from each of their respective countries, as well as their selection for three of their country's driving legends, related biographies and accompanying photos. ... 17 countries responded to the minister's request, and everything provided forms the basis for this special harness racing book."--Introduction, p. 12. |
