Description

A Life in the Saddle is an expanded account of the memoirs Rev. Davie Hogan (1811-1904) left of his own life. The rest of the text is comprised of quotes from other sources and background information researched and compiled by the author, who is Rev. Hogan’s third great grandnephew. Davie wrote for an audience with a base of shared experience and knowledge mostly lost to contemporary readers. The author has attempted to fill out Hogan’s often terse or detail lacking account with the wealth of information on history, family members, and local color his ancestor neglected to include.
