Uncle Sam: A Horse's Tale

Uncle Sam, a cavalry horse, travels to Louisiana in the months before America enters World War II.

Sam and his best friend, Sergeant Ed, take part in the Louisiana Army Maneuvers, a mock battle featuring infantry, tanks, jeeps, and traditional cavalry units.

As the battles end and Pearl Harbor nears, Uncle Sam and his friends escape into the piney woods of western Louisiana where they become the forerunners of the famous Fort Polk wild horse herd.

Told by storyteller Curt Iles with creative illustrations by emerging artist Jade Ross and sleight of hand by graphic designer Julian Quebedeaux, Uncle Sam: A Horse's Tale is a delightful story of a memorable time seventy years ago.
