Excerpt from The Guernsey Breed No one has been more fortunately situated to know all this, and no one has more zealously endeavored to become familiar with all phases of the history and development of the breed, than has the author of this book. His connection with the breed for more than a quarter of a century has given him a splendid insight into its characteristics. His early experience at the home farm as a breeder and developer of Guernseys, his knowledge of the affairs of The American Guernsey Cattle Club, gained as a member of its executive board and two years as its president, and his experience as an importer, which has taken him on many trips to the Island of Guernsey, have enabled him to bring together material that is of great value to all breeders. Though Guernseys have been introduced and have found favor all over the world, it is fitting that a composition of their history should first appear in the United States, where they have been so highly appreciated.
