A Horse's Tale is a novel written by the renowned American author, Mark Twain, and was first published in 1906. The book is narrated by a horse named Soldier Boy who recounts his experiences during the Indian Wars of the late 19th century. Soldier Boy is a proud and brave horse who is taken from his home in the West and sent to the army to serve as a cavalry mount. He is soon deployed to fight against the Native Americans, and he witnesses firsthand the brutality and senselessness of war. Soldier Boy also meets a young girl named Cathy, who becomes his companion and friend. Together, they embark on a series of adventures that take them across the vast and untamed American West. The book is a poignant commentary on the nature of war, the relationships between humans and animals, and the importance of friendship and loyalty. Twain's trademark wit and humor are also on full display in this classic work of American literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
