| Summary | "A Horse's Tale" by Mark Twain is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story is narrated from the perspective of a horse named Soldier Boy, who serves as the mount for the famous scout Buffalo Bill. Their adventures and interactions with other characters, including General Alison and a spirited little girl named Cathy, form the heart of this tale, as the horse recounts his experiences on the frontier and his relationship with those around him. At the start of the novel, Soldier Boy introduces himself and shares insights into his life with Buffalo Bill. He describes his strength, speed, and intelligence, proudly recounting the many miles they've traveled together on scouting missions. The narrative reveals Soldier Boy's keen observations about his companions and the events unfolding around them, including the arrival of Cathy, an adventurous young girl whose presence quickly charms the entire military garrison. The opening sets the stage for a whimsical and heartwarming adventure filled with humor and insights into the characters' interactions, all while framed by the unique perspective of a horse.
