A Horse's Tale

by Mark Twain

Overview

"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..." One of the earliest and greatest Americans to bring animal welfare to public attention, this 1907 story sends up the tall tale, among other things.
