Back cover: "At his home in Missouri, Bass was visited by U. S. presidents and other famous contemporaries, including Will Rogers, William Jennings Bryan and Buffalo Bill Cody. Queen Victoria of Great Britain invited Bass to perform at her Diamond Jubilee. Bass organized riding clubs for children that became the standard for future clubs. Bass's love of horses and his desire to make their lives easier inspired him to create the Tom Bass Bit. This humane piece of equipment is still used today."
