Cameliers
by: Hogue, Oliver
A Classic Account of the Australians of the Imperial Camel Corps During
the First World War in the Middle East. Oliver Hogue's account of the
Imperial Camel Corps in action during the desert and Palestine campaigns
of the First World War is one of the first books written on the subject
shortly after the events themselves took place. Hogue was a serving Australian
soldier with the unit and so had the advantage of witnessing the events
portrayed here at first hand. His is an easy reading, personable and journalistic
style-very much of its day-which weaves a romance into this story of war
against the declining Ottoman Turkish Empire and it's German allies. There
are very few books concerning the Camel Corps and this is a true rarity
and its re-publication after so many years will be warmly greeted by aficionados
of the subject. 175 pgs.

Camels To California
by: Fowler, Harlan
Legend of the camel caravans from Texas to California in the late 1850's.
Following the war with Mexico, the US decided to use camels to solve the
problem of transportation in the arid Southwest. By 1857, two shiploads
of camels had landed in Texas, and through subsequent years both Bactrian
& Dromedary camels were used extensilvely for the carrying of supplies
& express & the pioneering of new routes between Texas & California.
With advancing times the camels' usefullness came to an end & some were
auctioned off to circuses while other were left in the desert to fend for
themselves. In this book, Harlan Fowler brings the complete story to pubilcation
for the first time. Quoting from historical documents & drawing on his
own personal exploration of the Army camps & trails, he traces this
experiment from it's inception in the mind of Jefferson Davis, through the
procuring & transporting of the beasts, and on to the myths & folklore
that have grown from this time. Includes sketches from the time as well
as B/W photos. 93 pgs.

Noble Brutes: Camels On the American Frontier
by: Eva Boyd
Details the United States government's experiment with camels in the U.S.
Army before the outbreak of the Civil War. Imported from the Middle East

survey expeditions across the arid Southwest. Here is the account of the
exploration of the Big Bend region of Texas, the story of a Texas governor
who came to the rescue of several camels abandoned on Galveston Island,
camels grazing in Hill Country pastures, camels turned loose to fend for
themselves, camels seeking human companionship, and the frightening tale
of the legendary Red Ghost.
With a collection of rare photographs, drawings, and maps, this historically
accurate narrative is highlighted by numerous excerpts from journals by
those who actually lived the adventure. 255 pgs.
