Old Army Mule Myrtle Dies after Thirty Years of Service
Myrtle the famous U.S. Army mule at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, died aged over 33 after a career spanning more than a third of a century. She was remembered for Pershing’s order that she die of natural causes, not be destroyed, and was the last survivor of the pack train that accompanied General Black Jack Pershing into northern Mexico in 1917. The piece notes historic honors for Army mules, citing Jack of the Mexican border era and other celebrated animals, and recounts ongoing mule use at Camp Carson and the valor of Mademoiselle Verdun from Verdun to Meuse-Argonne.
