Description

The winner will receive The Last Camel Charge: The Untold Story of America's Desert Military Experiment.


In the mid-nineteenth century, the U.S. Army was on the verge of employing a
weapon that had never before been seen on its native soil: a cavalry mount that
would fare better than both mules and horses in the American
Southwest...

Against the Mojave in the Arizona Territory, against the
Mormons in Utah Territory, during the early stages of the Civil War, the camel
would become part of military history and a nearly forgotten chapter of
Americana.

This is the true story of that experiment and the
extraordinary group of people who it brought together. The Last Camel Charge
gives them their due as a vital piece of American history.
