Ride Proud, Rebel!

The narrative follows cavalry scout Drew Rennie through a series of wartime raids, scouting missions, and narrow escapes as he tends horses, gathers intelligence for mounted columns, and confronts the hardships of campaigning. Episodic chapters trace ambushes, river crossings, horse-and-mule trades, guerrilla encounters, surrenders, and missing-in-action incidents, showing both the practical routines of soldiering and moments of quiet reflection. The work emphasizes endurance, loyalty among comrades, improvisation under supply shortages, and the moral and physical toll of irregular warfare, shifting between action-driven adventure and quieter passages that foreground daily survival and memory.
