Summary

"A Horse's Tale" by Mark Twain is an early 20th-century story told through the eyes of Soldier Boy, a horse ridden by Buffalo Bill, as he shares his life on the frontier. The novel begins with Soldier Boy proudly describing his abilities and adventures with Buffalo Bill, highlighting their strong partnership during scouting missions. He keenly observes the dynamics within the military garrison, especially after the arrival of Cathy. Soldier Boy's interactions with Cathy, full of childlike wonder and daring, bring warmth and charm to the group. The horse's unique point of view shapes a story that is both humorous and touching.
