American on horseback corralling soldiers in city (7)
I believe the answer is:
toronto
'city' is the definition.
(Toronto is an example)
'american on horseback corralling soldiers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'on' could be 'to' and 'to' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for toronto that I've seen before include "Transatlantic city" , "North American city" , "Canada's largest city" , "Big city" , "major city" .)
