Summary: "The Story of Captain, the Horse with the Human Brain" by George Wharton James is an engaging narrative that blends elements of biography and animal intelligence study, likely written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on Captain, a remarkably trained horse, who demonstrates intelligence akin to that of a human, performing complex tasks and tricks under the guidance of his owner, Captain W. A. Sigsbee. Through Captain's story, the author aims to not only entertain but also to instill a deeper understanding and respect for animal intelligence among readers. At the start of the narrative, the introduction sets the stage for Captain's remarkable abilities as the author recounts his first encounter with the educated horse during a public performance. Captain captivates the audience by showcasing his ability to count, respond to commands, and even perform simple arithmetic while maintaining a playful demeanor. As the story unfolds, readers learn about Captain’s background, his relationship with Sigsbee, and the gentle and loving training methods employed to cultivate his talents.
