520 _a"The Mule: A Treatise on the Breeding, Training, and Uses to Which He May Be Put" by Harvey Riley is a comprehensive non-fiction work published in the late 19th century. The treatise examines the mule as both a vital and often underappreciated asset in various fields, particularly in military operations and agriculture. It discusses the importance of understanding mule behavior and emphasizes kind treatment to maximize their capabilities and care. The opening of the text outlines the author's motivation for writing the treatise, underscoring the mule's historical importance and the inadequacies of common treatment practices. Riley shares insights from his thirty years of experience, describing the mule's character and behavior, and advocating for a humane and respectful approach to their training. He highlights the need for better education among those handling mules, especially within military contexts, to prevent the unnecessary suffering of these animals and improve their utility.
