Uncle Sam's Camels
Lt Edward Fitzgerald Beale led the nation's first and only "camel corps" expedition. Joining him was nineteen-year-old May Humphreys Stacey, who kept a journal of their harrowing adventures. Here, Lesley reproduces Stacey's account as well as Lt Beale's report on the expedition, in which he frequently comments on the camels' remarkable endurance.
