As embers of the Alamo smoldered, the Mexican Army swept across Texas to Goliad where some 350 Texans were slaughtered. In early 1846, The United States declared war with Mexico. Five Tennessee cousins vow to join the fight. Cameron Augustus Moore, narrator of the story, was barely 18 and Cam's best friend, Andrew Hawkins, called "Hawk", were selected by lottery to join the fight. With spirits up, anticipations for glory intensified. But time and reality hardened boys into warriors leaning on the nobility and courage of horses which often proved their salvation. This true account chronicles a long dangerous trek to get to war, the war in Mexico and challenge getting home with their horses, ever watchful in sickness riddled camps or, on command, charging into the teeth of battle where they fought, died or triumphed together. Jaded Horses reveals the spirit of man and horse melded together to survive a terrible conflict in an unforgiving land. It is a story of compassion for defeated enemies and devotion for those back home. It testifies of how being valiant and faithful to vows made with a father brings life's rewards.
