Morgan's little horse was special as he was as fast as he was strong and became known for all the races he won as well. The farmers refuse to continue log pulling contests because Morgan's horse always wins but agree to race against him instead because strong, pulling horses are rarely fast. In this David and Goliath-like story, the young small horse beats his much bigger competitors. A local farmer rents the horse to clear some land, and once he sees what a strong worker this little horse is, he enters the horse in several giant log pulling contests. He asks one of his students to work with the horse, who is happy to do so. He sells the bigger of the two horses, but no one is interested in the young, small horse. This historical novel, a runner up for the 1946 Newberry Medal, is the story of Justin Morgan, a schoolmaster in Vermont in the 1700s who accepts two horses in payment for an old debt.

In the book, Grohl shares what it was like growing up as a kid with big dreams in Springfield, Virginia, and how he lived out those dreams making music on the world stage. "The Storyteller - Tales Of Life And Music" was released on October 5 via Dey Street Books and Simon & Schuster. Dave Grohl's first-ever book, "The Storyteller - Tales Of Life And Music", has topped The New York Times' Hardcover Nonfiction list and the Combined Print & E-Book Nonfiction list.Įarlier today, Grohl took to the FOO FIGHTERS' social media to write: "Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that I would someday be a number one bestselling author, but it's those same wildest dreams that I've followed since the day I picked up a guitar. Flooding the afterlife, these souls find themselves in an ad hoc and vaguely European town. By the end of the war, half of humanity has been wiped out. It is the beginning of the end, not an act of creation. However, this light turns out to be that of a nuclear explosion over Beijing at the start of a world war.
