Brief description:
From the dust jacket front flap:
Lots of people don't know it, but Army mules live a long time. Some of them see as much service as the most veteran soldier. So when Capitan, young, frisky, black, but even then with a keen eye and an observing habit of mind, was first mustered into the service, he had a long career ahead of him. He tells the story of his life just the way you expect a mule to do, and his story is a mule's-eye picture of the Army and of the men in it will have what for America through many campaigns and in many lands.
