This is a great story - and true!By Therese ShortI found this very interesting telling about Reckless origins and all the changes along the way; her attachments about bravery. Would like to have known more; if she had a colt and what happened at the end.I also think the author should have used a better proofreader as many words were misspelled or out of place.Therese Short2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A mix of saddness and joy. Loved itBy DWA mix of saddness and joy. Loved it; proud of the men Reckless was associated with; her history; and theirs. Read it straight through. I have never associated with horses; this made me realize how smart horses are and loyal as well.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Excellent book!By W. ClementVery interesting as it covers the era before Sgt. Reckless was born. Intriguing hindsight into Korean occupation by Japanese . " Reckless" was indeed a person; a true marine. Loved the story.
