There is no more useful or willing animal than the Mule. And perhaps there is no other animal so much abused, or so little cared for. Popular opinion of his nature has not been favorable; and he has had to plod and work through life against the prejudices of the ignorant. Still, he has been the great friend of man, in war and in peace serving him well and faithfully. If he could tell man what he most needed it would be kind treatment. We all know how much can be done to improve the condition and advance the comfort of this animal; and he is a true friend of humanity who does what he can for his benefit. My object in writing this book was to do what I could toward working out a much needed reform in the breeding, care, and treatment of these animals. Let me ask that what I have said in regard to the value of kind treatment be carefully read and followed. I have had thirty years' experience in the use of this animal, and during that time have made his nature a study. The result of that study is, that humanity as well as economy will be best served by kindness. It has indeed seemed to me that the Government might make a great saving every year by employing only such teamsters and wagon-masters as had been thoroughly instructed in the treatment and management of animals, and were in every way qualified to perform their duties properly. Indeed, it would seem only reasonable not to trust a man with a valuable team of animals, or perhaps a train, until he had been thoroughly instructed in their use, and had received a certificate of capacity from the Quartermaster's Department. If this were done, it would go far to establish a system that would check that great destruction of animal life which costs the Government so heavy a sum every year. "Harvey Riley most favors the medium-sized animals, of dark color, for general work, especially for drought purposes, but while doing so acknowledges that the Mexican mule, of higher height standard, is undoubtedly superior to anything bred in the States. He states that he has tried them both on similar conditions, and found that with the same amount of food the Mexican mule will not only keep up its condition, but do better work, and keep fresher when only halting three hours, than the American mule will with regular five-hour rests." -The Agricultural Gazette of New South Wales "I have always had a friendly feeling for the mule. He does the world's hardest work and yet is the most ill-treated of animals. Harvey Riley, superintendent of government mules for more than thirty yeas, has written a mule book, which is 'mighty interesting reading.' It explains a lot of things. For instance, why does a mule kick? Simply to protect himself, which is an obedience to the first law of life....Few animals respond to kindness better than the mule. If his man master will not spring at him or shout at him or strike him or otherwise frighten him he will be more easily managed than a horse. Most of a mule's cussedness is due to the cussedness of the man who has charge of him. This is what Riley says, anyway, and he ought to know." -The Starry Cross "Mr. Harvey Riley, of Washington, who has probably had more to do with mules than any other one man in the country, publishes a few practical hints on the proper treatment of this unfortunate animal." -Supplement to the Courant "Really solid value....The earnestness of the writer, his familiarity with his subject, his excellent common sense, and his clear way of putting home truths...The book should be in the hands of every mule owner or driver who can read." -American Agriculturist

A young family man caught in the Great Recession turns to running marijuana cross-country to make ends meet in this “timely, witty, and fast-paced” novel (Booklist). James and Kate are golden children of the late twentieth century, flush with opportunity. But an economic downturn and an unexpected pregnancy have them desperate to find a way to make do. And they happen to have a friend in California’s Siskiyou County who grows prime-grade marijuana. If James transports just one load from Cali to Florida, he’ll pull down enough cash to survive for months. And so begins the life of a drug mule. Fans of Breaking Bad will love this page-turning, Zeitgeist-capturing novel that plunges into the criminal underworld with little chance to take a breath. Mule is about people whose morals are tested by unbearable financial stress, trying to survive when the American Dream that had once been handed to them—fully wrapped and ready to go at the takeout window—suddenly vanishes from the menu. “A smart and bracing ground-level exploration of the drug trade.” —Kirkus Reviews “Thanks to its wicked style and pacing, Mule lets me forget I’m reading serious literature while I follow its terrifying story into the land of the all-American damned.” —Walter Kirn, author of Up in the Air “Mule is swift, taut, and relentless . . . A rip-roaring drug tale.” —Lauren Groff, author of Fates and Furies “With adrenaline-infused sentences and a seat-gripping story line, Mule is a novel that illuminates contemporary American desperation, both its dangerous precipices and its thrilling, overwhelming freedom.” —Dean Bakopoulos, author of My American Unhappiness

This is a true story. I had long searched for a young, white mule to raise and train and was expecting to find one around six months old. When I did finally find one he was a newborn and being sold along with his mother. They were consigned to a Fox Trotter sale that was coming up in a couple weeks. I was not interested in the mare and did not attend the sale. Little did I know, the owner had decided her baby was a worthless, white mule and may hinder her sale. He left the little, three week old mule to fend for himself, alone on pasture, and sold the mare. As soon as I found out his plight I raced over there and paid a steep price to rescue a weak and starving, six week old, orphan mule. Years later, wanting SaMule to get the best in training, I thought I had found a top notch trainer in Kentucky. I had even taken a trip there to see his facility and meet his staff. I was so excited about the prospect of finally being able to ride my dream mule. I had done all his ground work and knew he was ready for a real education. I was thrilled the day they picked him up and he was headed for Mule School. Five months later he was returned to me nearly starved to death and covered with welts and wounds. Once again I had paid a steep price... and so had SaMule. Is he worthless? I think not! SaMule has proven himself to be kind, brave, determined and forgiving.

The cross that has been most significant in human history is the one between horses and donkeys to create the mule. Mules have played a key role in the development of the world. The mule has been deliberately bred by man since ancient times. Harness races for mules began in Olympia in 500 BC. The mule was highly valued in ancient Greece for use as pack animals and to draw carriages as well. In the Old Testament, the mule replaced the donkey as the "royal beast" and was ridden by King David and King Solomon at their coronations. In ancient Rome, mules were used for transport and their amazing strength and endurance was known to all. When Hannibal crossed the Alps in 216 BC, he had mules to carry the equipment. In Medieval Europe, when larger horses were being bred to carry heavily armored knights, mules were the preferred riding animal of gentlemen and clergy. By the eighteenth century, the breeding of mules had become a flourishing industry in Spain, Italy and France and by 1808, the United States had an estimated 855,000 mules worth approximately $66,000,000 (that would be $1,357,195,714 in today's dollars!). Mules came to be favored over horses in the second half of the nineteenth century because they developed a reputation for hardiness and the ability to take care of themselves. Unquestionably, their hard work, stamina, strength and patience played a key role in the development of the world. There are so many ways to describe a mule: loyal, steadfast, strong, reliable, calm, tolerant, intelligent, stubborn, sensible, patient and much more. Some even say that a mule has a sense of humor. What adjective do you think best describes the mule? By the time you are finished reading this book we hope you will come to know, love and respect "The Mighty Mule".
