This is very readable. The author is recounting his many adventures while serving in the calvary. There are Indian attacks as well as explanations of how they dealt with days of boredom while living at the fort (ants were one form of entertainment).

Lots of great descriptions in here, both of the land (plants + animals included) and of the bronco training. Also of the quarters the author was staying in. I learned a new word: kalsomining. Which means whitewashing. So far this book is off to a great start!

Back when I had read that book about mules in the US Army, this book had been mentioned. And I had wanted to read it because Crook had been the man who had taken good care of the mules under his command. And so I am going to read this. And tomorrow is ranch day! I will go see my horses!
