Camel transportation plans and powder-ignition discoveries in 1858
A letter from N P Willis discusses using camels to move military stores across the American West, proposing 200-300 camels from Morocco and Mexico routes, with potential for rapid supply lines to California, Sonora, and Texas. It also notes General Pippert's gunpowder explosion prevention method mixing powder with coal dust, tested successfully. Additional items touch on Seward visiting Virginia slave-conditions, church partitions, and a 250 dollar reward for jailbreakers Alfred Underhill and James Harrington in 1858.
