The book is narrated by a horse named Soldier Boy, who tells the story of his adventures during the Indian Wars in the American West. Soldier Boy is a cavalry horse who is sold to the Sioux Indians by his owner, Colonel Sellers. He is then trained by a young Sioux girl named Cathy, and becomes a beloved member of her tribe.

The novel is a satirical take on the treatment of Native Americans during the 19th century, and is filled with Twain's trademark humor and wit. A Horse's Tale is a beloved classic that continues to be read and enjoyed by readers of all ages.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.
