Learn about Jim Key - the horse that could spell!
A former slave named Bill Key, was a famous horse whisperer. He trained his horse, Jim Key, to spell many names and words. Not only was this horse featured at the St. Louis 1904 Worlds Fair, but he was even tested by some Harvard professors that did not believe the horse could spell.
This presentation will convince you that this horse had a lot of sense!
