The introduction to Star Gazer, the Horse who loved History is The Story of The Four Chaplains. In 1943 the USAT Dorchester was torpedoed and sunk. Some of the men found rafts, others found life jackets, but when the life jackets ran out four Chaplains held on to each other, and sank with the ship. Star Gazer is a beautiful horse, with a lovely white star on his forehead. He is also smart and loves to learn new things. Unfortunately, as a racing horse, none of these things matter. All that counts is winning races. When his angry owner sells him, Star Gazer feels like a loser, but his life improves. Pulling a carriage of tourists through the streets of Philadelphia may be hard work; but he gets to learn all about US history, and the Constitution. He meets people from all over the world. He realizes how important world peace is, but how can a horse help? Even a horse that saves the president of the United States.
Autorenporträt
Johanna J. Smith, MA, LPC, combines her passionate love of children, horses and history in Star Gazer, the Horse Who Loved History. Ms. Smith's love of horses dates back to her childhood experiences as an accomplished equestrian in Southern Pines, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State with a BS in English, Ms. Smith earned a master's degree in psychology from the University of West Georgia. She then moved to Sierra Leone, West Africa, where she taught tribal children in the town of Koribundo. Her time in Sierra Leone allowed Ms. Smith to observe first hand how absolute poverty and lack of education fosters conflict between nations. Ms. Smith also lived in Rabat Morocco where she taught English as a second language. Ms. Smith maintains a private psychotherapy practice for children and adults close to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
