by Henry Clay Simpson, Henry Clay’s great-great-grandson
131 pages, Paperback and Hardcover available.
Josephine Clay lived an un-paralleled life for women of her era. She graced the horse landscape of Kentucky with nobility and respect. She had the heart of a poet and the tenaciousness of a throughbred. Josephine Clay embraced all of these and more.
Somehow, like the Ashland Stock Farm where her legacy survived, she virtually vanished from the historical scenes. Those who knew her best, including her great-great grandson, H. Clay Simpson, Jr., did not forget her.
The “Pinoeer Horsewoman of the Bluegrass” will help preserve Josephine Clay’s rightful place in horse history as well as her accomplishments as a writer and poet.
Mrs. Clay was a pioneer woman who traveled the rugged West with her children and blazed new frontiers with outstanding horse management while authoring exceptional novels and occassional poems.
