Description

Discover the hidden history of the animal that powered the U.S. military for over a century. Shavetails and Bell Sharps explores the vital role of the army pack mule, an animal that was often overshadowed by the cavalry horse but remained an indispensable part of army movement from the Mexican War through World War II. This book provides an exhaustive look at the virtues of the mule and why the military relied on these animals for 125 years. From their essential service in major conflicts to their formal departure from service in December 1956, this work documents a significant era of military logistics. Written by Emmett M. Essin, a professor of history and director of Developmental Studies at East Tennessee State University, this text offers deep research into a nearly invisible yet ubiquitous part of American military history. It is a must-read for historians, animal lovers, and those interested in the evolution of army transport and working animals.
