Janet Barrett was raised in New York, graduated from Indiana University with a BS in Communications, and now lives in Connecticut with her husband and two cats.
She remembers her father first telling her about Comanche when she was about eight years old, a simple story then about a horse that survived a battle. When she revisited it as an adult a few years ago, she found an intriguing, complex story of a horse and rider whose legacy grew beyond anything that was apparent in their lives.
With the success of They Called Her Reckless about the warhorse Reckless and her fellow marines in the Korean War, Barrett knew it was time to go back to that earlier era and tell the whole story of the tough mustang that brought fame to himself, his rider, and the U.S. Cavalry.
