"The Horses of the Sahara and the Manners of the Desert" by E. Daumas is a detailed treatise likely written in the mid-19th century that explores the significance of horses in Arab culture, particularly in the Sahara desert. This work combines observations of horse breeding, anatomy, and training with cultural anecdotes and insights into the lifestyles and traditions of the Bedouin tribes. Daumas aims to illuminate the relationship between the Arabs and their horses, emphasizing both the practical and the spiritual connections that shape their lives. At the start of the book, the author introduces the importance of horses within Arab society, highlighting their roles in warfare, trade, and daily life. Daumas reflects on his extensive experience in Africa and interactions with various tribes, showcasing his intent to provide an authentic account based on firsthand observations and discussions with the Emir Abd-el-Kader. The opening portion sets up a narrative that intertwines historical context with personal anecdotes to establish the horse's status not merely as an animal but as a vital companion and symbol of Arab identity, loyalty, and honor.
