Russell
Accomplished and celebrated American farrier, Prof. Russell was also a prolific writer and illustrator, dedicated to farriery as a science. Seasoned farrier/blacksmith Reuel Darling was introduced to Russells material as a mimeographed text when he was a farrier student under Ralph Hoover at California Polytechnic Institute. Because of the timeless nature of Russell's work, Reuel was inspired to preserve the classic by reprinting it on acid-free paper. Some of the original print engravings from the book hang in the farrer offices at Cal Poly.
