Laura, I just finished Seabiscuit and I don't ever remember being moved so deeply by reading a book! I am not an avid reader, but as I get older, I enjoy reading more & more. I'm 66 and though my mother was born right across from Churcill Downs, I have lived in southern MI my whole life. Except for the Triple Crown season, I don't really follow horse racing at all. I saw the movie before reading the book and although I loved the movie, your book literally moved me to tears. Thank you-thank you!!

Laura,through your gifts as a researcher and wordsmith, I have such gratitude. My grandchldren attended school on Ridgewood Ranch and I stumbled upon a tour with Tracy and am enamored. Each time I visit Willits, I can feel that special part of history of those hills, understand the rains in the winter and so much more. You have made the world 'richer'. With Blessings and gratitude....

Lauren,
I have yet to read the book but intend to very soon! I want you to know that I'm the brand new author and illustrator of a children's book, "Hayseed's First Race", which is due out in mid-April. Hayseed is loosely based on the 'Biscuit and his story too, is set in 1938. Not only that, but his jockey has red hair like Red Pollard! Please check it out at caballopress.com/hayseed. Part of the proceeds will benefit Anna House at Belmont Park, a child care center. Thanks for reading my post!

Thank you!ThankYOU I just finished Seabiscuit for the 3rd time. Page 85 is the best discription of a Thoroughbred that anyone will ever have. You've got it. I spent my youth traveling thoroughbred tracks. In the 60's & 70's I was a hotwalker,groom, exerciseboy, ponyboy and outrider at Atlantic City and Meadowlands. I loved the track and Horses. Thank you for bringing back very good memories for me. I love your book. Maybe have Page 85 on a wall plack. Anyone with a race horse would buy one.

For whatever reason, my husband & I saw the movie about Seabiscuit several years ago, but although we are avid readers, we have just now read this wonderful book! He says it's the best book he's ever read & I have to agree even though GWTW has always been #1 with me. I have said many times that Margaret Mitchell was born to write that book. I have read several books about how she researched her facts. Well, Miss Hillenbrand certainly equaled that in this book! It's a classic! Well Done, Laura!

I was just rereading Seabiscuit (one of my go-to books in trying times, along with Dorothy Sayers) and wondered how you were doing. I remembered reading about your CFS.
I truly hope it's better and that you are feeling well. Sending you my best wishes.

If you enjoyed the excellent movie, you must read the book. Much more information and detail about the improbable cast of real-life characters that Pollard and Smith are. Fiction couldn't have made up their stories.

I loved "SeaBiscuit." It has become one of my top ten favorite books of all time, up there with "Pride and Prejudice" and "All Creatures Great and Small."
I especially loved your writing style, the metaphors, detials, and language. I know most of the grammar and punctuation rules. Do you have any advice about how to improve my writing? Can you suggest a book about how to write beautiful and vivid prose?
Thank you, thank you, thank you. For Seabiscuit.

Laura, Gee, I just found this site after all these years! Read about "Pops" again for about the 5th or 6th time. Truly a masterpiece. It never gets old and as some of your posts have indicated, it even gets better with each reading. The anticipation that you have created is wonderful. Great job. Thanks.

Dear Ms. Hillenbrand,
I just slsogged through the new biography of Louisa May Alcott and thought to myself, how could you make a biography of an interesting person so uninteresting? I wished the author could have taken some tips from the way you wrote Seabiscuit! I know you are very ill but I sure hope you will be able to write again in the future.
Best regards. And while you're at it, how about giving lessons to some other writers!

I have been reading the book about Seabiscuit, and in detail I think it is greater than the movie. I have obtain a book by Laurence Oliver, who was a Kentucky Kernal. And wrote: The Last 100 years of the Kentucky Derby. In the book, some of the Owners were cockfighters, I was one myself, but now I own a race horse, her name is Blackwater Bay. If you could I would like for you to contact me, and maybe we could collaborate on writing my story. I have been asked by many people to do a book.

Mrs. Hillenbrand:
I attend a school by the name of Ponte Vedra High School, and am in an Honors English class. We took a test, on which was a question about an excerpt of your novel Seabiscuit: An American Legend. The excerpt dealt with Seabiscuit's race against Rosemont, and his loss. The question was: What caused Seabiscuit to lose? A. He lost interest in racing. B. His jockey had a blind eye. Could you please give your testimony, and end the debate?
Greatly appreciated,
Sam

hi Laura -- I am also a writer w/CFS, have been ill since 1990-ish. Worked as journalist most of those years in SF Bay Area, now live in North Salem, NY. Just got into Norman Mailer Writers Colony for April fellowship based on 3 chapters of memoir I submitted. Would love to correspond w/you if you're able. You are great inspiration to me! I'm on SDI now, worried about how I'll hold up during fellowship in Provincetown, but DOING IT ANYWAY! Best regards, Toni Logan
