Comanche and His Captain -The Warhorse and The Soldier of Fortune

Join author, Jane Barrett, for a talk about her new book, Comanche and His Captain--The Warhorse and The Soldier of Fortune. 

Set against the Civil War and the fight to secure the western frontier, the story of the tough Mustang, Comanche, and the soldier of fortune, Captain Myles Keogh, is a tale of bravery, partnership, survival, and healing.

Janet Barrett remembers her father first telling her about Comanche when she was about eight years old, a simple story then about a horse that survived a terrible Indian battle. With the success of They Called Her Reckless, about the warhorse, Reckless, and her fellow Marines in the Korean War, Barrett knew it was time to go back to that earlier era and tell the whole story of the horse that brought fame to himself and his rider, and a renewed sense of pride to the U.S. Seventh Cavalry
