A Horse's Tale is a novel written by the renowned American author, Mark Twain. The story is narrated by a horse named Soldier Boy, who is owned by a young boy named Tom. Soldier Boy is a proud and loyal horse who loves his master Tom and is always ready to serve him.The novel is set during the Indian Wars in the late 1800s, and Tom's father is a cavalry officer who is sent to fight against the Native Americans. Tom and Soldier Boy are left behind at the army post, where they meet a group of horses who have been captured by the army.Soldier Boy becomes friends with these horses, and together they plan an escape. They manage to break free and embark on a thrilling adventure across the prairie, encountering various obstacles and dangers along the way.Throughout the novel, Soldier Boy reflects on his experiences and shares his thoughts on the human-animal relationship, war, and freedom. Twain's trademark humor and wit are evident throughout the book, making it an enjoyable read for both children and adults.Overall, A Horse's Tale is a heartwarming story about loyalty, friendship, and the bond between humans and animals, told from the perspective of a wise and insightful horse.I am Buffalo Bill's horse. I have spent my life under his saddle - with him in it, too, and he is good for two hundred pounds, without his clothes; and there is no telling how much he does weigh when he is out on the war-path and has his batteries belted on. He is over six feet, is young, hasn't an ounce of waste flesh, is straight, graceful, springy in his motions, quick as a cat, and has a handsome face.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
