19 Million Mule Steps contains over 140 stunning color photos, sketches, musings and hand-written notes of Bernie Harberts' 2,300-mile mule voyage through America that were not included in his memoir Two Mules To Triumph . Harberts brings readers through all the conditions he and his mules encountered, from snow and rain to sunny days, and introduces them to lessons learned on his Long Ride. A must-read for anyone who enjoys equines, animal stories, trail riding, true adventure, beautiful scenery and intimate portraits of Americans ranging from a cowboy bride to a pig walker. Harberts is uniquely qualified to tell this story. He is a Long Rider (a person who has completed a continuous saddle journey of 1,000 miles) and has spent over 1,000 days traveling with his equines through the United States, Canada and Newfoundland. Although he has traveled over 10,000 long-distance mules by horse and mule, he still has trouble keeping his Cracker from occasionally bolting.
