Jefferson Davis Camel Experiment in the Southwest
The Indianapolis Journal recalls a mid 19th century plan by Jefferson Davis to import camels to the American West for military use. The effort failed due to cost, poor drivers, and stubborn camels, with many animals later loose on deserts from Texas to Arizona. Some survived, and reports of wild camels persist in southern Arizona and Sonora.
