The Story of Captain, the Horse with the Human Brain

"The Story of Captain" by George Wharton James is a book about Captain, a name given to a well-trained horse who enjoyed working for his master. He would take a seat when requested, scratch his head with his right or left hind foot, and do other unbelievable things. The author met this gigantic horse early in the year 1915 when he was called to lecture on California and the West in the beautiful Sunset Theater of the Southern Pacific Building at the San Francisco Exposition.
