“His book is much more than a garland of humor. In reality it is much more. It is a sober, compassionate and very earnest study of a remarkable system, the achievement of a very gifted woman.” Charles Johnston.

“Altogether, this book is unfortunate. Uproarious passages in it which have all Mark Twain’s old drollery and delightful extravagance tell us that his great comic powers are unimpaired. They wait to be reapplied successfully.”

Our much loved humorist has done another kindly service to his dumb brothers in this story of the cavalry horse, Soldier Boy, and the sunny little girl who loved him and all the world. There is much amusing satire in the story, but beneath it there throbs a great hearted kin-feeling for the animals who serve us, and there is a plea for true recognition of this service in the tragic death of little Cathy who lays down her life for the horse who has once saved it.
