Talk:Dan Patch

Source material
I found a gold mine on the newspaper archives, including the actual 1904 article about his record-setting race. Parking here for later use.
 * 1904 1:56 used


 * 1905 used


 * 1968 Yonkers races named after Dan Patch - not relevant


 * 1909 Summary of 1908 used


 * 1903 double word record paragraph near bottom of column used


 * 1904 summary not used, already covered in other sources


 * early 1903 Dan Patch at a The Big Poultry Show! An early example of Savage marketing the horse. used

And all these are off the first page of results! White Arabian Filly Neigh 23:21, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * thanks. My google news search mojo isn't working nearly as well. Can you check for more results? Would love to have some articles with quotes from Messner et al, though that didn't seem to have been done as often back then. Jlvsclrk (talk) 21:25, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Found


 * this where they're calling him "Daniel" and comparing him to a Newfoundland dog, and this, where it says that they stuffed him or were trying to. Also says Savage is quoted as saying he loved Dan like a son.  White Arabian Filly  Neigh 21:29, 26 February 2017 (UTC) used

 * Indiana Historical Society
 * Dakota Datebook
 * This is going to be fun! Jlvsclrk (talk) 22:13, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I wonder if he set the tone for Seabiscuit to become so hugely popular a couple decades later? I haven't even checked Google Books yet, but I bet they will have really good stuff and may have the book you found the review for. White Arabian Filly  Neigh 23:59, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * We're in luck with Google Books:


 * Google Books - Best There Ever Was
 * Crazy Good
 * Starting to look like our main problem will be editing down (and my style problems relating to NPOV). Jlvsclrk (talk) 22:13, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I'll try to do some more here tomorrow. Of course, Billie Nipper is now in GA Review. I have to focus on that for now, but hope to do some here like I originally planned. White Arabian Filly  Neigh 23:40, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
