Synopsis: Here is the story of an American "Black Beauty." Instead of the English countryside and London streets, we have the Idaho range country and timberlands for the background of this western stallion's adventures. Sorrel, named for his color, is born in the spring on the great range that borders the Clearwater. His first contact with man is pleasant enough, but all too soon he is captured, to escape with Pinto, his mate, to roam the range wild and free as the wind that sweeps down from the snow-capped mountains. But the day comes when Sorrel is recaptured and his gallant spirit almost broken to the saddle and the plow. Stolen by prospectors who sell him to the Forest Rangers, Sorrel endures long years of exciting adventure and grueling toil with the Rangers. During a terrible forest fire, Sorrel, now old and broken, makes his way south through the Clearwater Canyon, and back to the ranch he fled from but never forgot, there to live in comfort for the rest of his days.
