A proposito di questo titolo

This is the only audio interview available on the internet with anyone who rode in the 1976 Great American Horse Race—the longest horse race in history. As the 50th anniversary approaches, this conversation preserves Tom Sites' voice and the incredible story of the Great American Horse Race of 1976.

In 1976, Tom Sites—a Vietnam veteran haunted by severed heads and searching for peace—walked into a tack shop and bought a runaway horse named Jose Dante for $200. Six months later, he rode Jose 1,966 miles across America in the Great American Horse Race with just $500, no crew, and a single set of horseshoes that lasted 1,000 miles. Through small, consistent, dedicated steps across 13 states, Tom discovered what he couldn't find after the war: peace, purpose, and a partnership that would change his life forever.
