Ouu Missouri Mule

In all of Europe there is no such
animal as we Missourians see each
day-and admire when at a safe
distance from its heels-that being
the Missouri mule. The European
mule looks like a small-sized colt
compared with those produced here
and our own Missouri mule was an
establishment to all the French and
and British officers.
He never refused to pull, no mat
ter how near exhaustion he was, he
slept on his feet every time a stop
of a minute or more was made and
struggled on through mud and shell
holes as long as he had an ounce of
strength, and then fell dead in his
tracks. One war correspondent says:
Half of that mule courage and
mule strength was supplied by the
men. They rustled grub for the
ANIMALS when they could. They
stole oats passionately. and pulled
handfulls of grass and carried water
for the mules during the halts in the
long procession and the mules KEEP,
going when other transport animals
gave up and died" There has been
much criticism of the American
horses, but none of the Missouri
mule.
