Book Description
"A Horse's Tale" is a unique and humorous work by Mark Twain, narrated from the perspective of Buffalo Bill's horse. The story is set in the American West during the late 19th century and provides a satirical look at the events and characters of that time. The novel's central character is Soldier Boy, Buffalo Bill's prized horse, who offers a witty and often sardonic commentary on the adventures and misadventures he experiences while serving as the steed of the famous frontiersman. Through Soldier Boy's eyes, readers are exposed to the quirks and foibles of the human characters he encounters, including Buffalo Bill himself, as well as Native American tribes, military figures, and various other individuals. As Soldier Boy recounts his various escapades, the novel touches on themes such as the clash of cultures in the American West, the treatment of Native Americans, and the absurdities of human behavior. Twain's signature humor and wit are on full display as he uses the horse's perspective to lampoon societal norms and human folly. "A Horse's Tale" is not as well-known as some of Twain's other works, but it offers an entertaining and unconventional narrative that provides insight into the author's satirical style and his fascination with the American frontier. It's a delightful read for those interested in Twain's unique storytelling and his ability to view the world through an unexpected lens.

Book Description
Late summer 1941. Louisianas piney woods are engulfed by a tidal wave of soldiers engaged in the largest army maneuvers ever undertaken on American soil. For many of these young men, as well as the isolated Southern communities, life will never be the same. Although no one knows it, our nation will be at war in three months. Elizabeth Reed is a young Louisiana schoolteacher who dislikes soldiers. Harry Miller is a Wisconsin soldier who hates Louisiana. It only makes sense that they should meet and fall in love. Their story begins with a bulletan empty cartridge tossed from a truckload of soldiers. The note inside it will change the destinies of these two young people. In the midst of large-scale battles between the red and blue armies, Harry and Elizabeth are each fighting their own war with dark secrets from their pasts. They have nothing in common except mutual desires to escape these pasts. In spite of clashing at every turn, they run right into each others arms as they jointly learn that the hardest person to forgive is yourself. Within this clash of cultures lies the core message of A Spent Bullet. Rural Louisiana is never the same, and neither are the soldiers who learn about Louisiana mud, mosquitoes, and misery mixed with memorable Southern hospitality. More than a love story, A Spent Bullet recreates a memorable but largely forgotten time in Louisiana and our nations history. Told in the warm and touching style loved by readers of his previous eight books, Curt Iles weaves a story of love, history, and redemption.
