About this book
Wounded at Malvern Hill, a Massachusetts officer finds an unexpected companion when a riderless chestnut mare approaches him amid the battle. His lifelong affection for horses shapes the encounter: he describes her movement, strength and responsiveness with a horseman's close attention. She remains beside him and follows when his men carry him away, beginning the bond at the heart of W. H. H. Murray's short story.
The officer's account later turns to Gulnare's years of service alongside him, her place in camp life and the cheers she receives from his brigade. His tenderness is accompanied by worry as he observes troubling changes in her behavior.
