Author Robin Hutton resurrects the “Pride of the Marines” with new biography about the heroic war horse “Sgt. Reckless: America’s War Horse”. Sgt. Reckless was the small Mongolian mare who made 51 trips in battle- on her own- through 35 miles of combat zone to transport nearly five tons of explosives in the Korean War. She was trained to step over communications lines, get down at the sound of incoming fire, and ignore the noise of battle. She carried wounded soldiers to safety and was injured twice during the war, earning two Purple hearts.
