The Boer War and America
Moore will speak on a little discussed aspect of world history – America and the Boer War. Around 1900 the British had wars going throughout their Empire. The major action was in southern Africa, the Boer War. Of course, the Boers, farmers of northern European descent, fought for their way of life and homeland. To support the action, the Royal Army sought horses wherever possible. The British government bought some 250,000 horses and mules in the US. They were consolidated, entrained, and sent to New Orleans. Ships carrying 1,000 horses sailed to Africa almost daily. There was active opposition to the war in the US and elsewhere.
Stan Moore is an author, speaker and historian. He has been described several ways.

He and his wife make home near Denver with a cat who lets them stay there. He is the author of six books, one history and five historical novels set around 1900s Colorado.
