An inside look into the wild world of silent movie cowboy William S. Hart... as narrated by his horse! This is a fascinating (if fictionalized) behind-the-scenes look into the wild, action-packed world of a Hollywood cowboy and stuntman. TOLD UNDER A WHITE OAK TREE is a charming children's book that not only gives us a fanciful account of Hart's career as Hollywood's premier western hero, but also tells a rousing adventure story of his exceptional (if somewhat smart-alecky) equine companion, who strives to become as renowned a screen legend as his master.
Caution: This book contains a couple of racial epithets that may be offensive to some readers. Turns out horses aren't very progressive or PC. (Summary by ChuckW) (0 hr 55 min)

I know very little about silent movies, but after listening to this I feel slightly more informed, even if that information apparently comes from a horse! I guess William Hart must have had a lot of young fans, and I'm sure this book must have appealed to his readers. Kids these days might find it a little dated. But I'm sure those interested in horses or early film history would enjoy it. Many thanks to the narrator. He was great!
I enjoyed this story very much
