Excerpt from History of the Duroc: A Short History of the Duroc Jersey, Breed of Swine I have tried to make the story readable, and in as few words as possible give as much information as could be boiled down in so small a volume It is by no means a complete history of the breed. The writer hopes to be able to take this larger work up shortly and with the assistance of the leading men who have been active in the business in times past and with those who are leaders now, bring out a book that will give all of the history of the breed, that can be learned by a search-of the records, and in conference with those who have through the trying years of the breeds' ex'istence, been working for breed improvement.
