with the “general cussedness of them
ornery brutes,” the mule skinners
came to love them less and less. So
the reports that some of the camels
hnd "become unmanageable and es­
caped Into the desert” became fre­
quent, albeit the camels were fre­
quently aided In their "escape” by
the ini^n themselves.
Then the approach of the Civil war
caused the attention of the War de­
partment to be turned to affairs of
greuter Importance and the “camel
corps’’ suffered from neglect. In 1801
the War department had 28 camels at
various posts In California without be­
ing put to any use. In 1802 Lieuten­
ant Beale wrote Secretary Stanton of
their Idle condition and proposed to
use them for further exploration In
the Southwest. But hls proposal was
rejected, as was the plan he offered
for using them In carrying mall be­
tween Fort Mojave, N. M., and New
San I’edro, Calif. Eventually the
herd was sold to Samuel McLaughlin.
Some of them were sold to circuses,
others to other parties, and soon they
were scattered far and wide.
In the meantime the herd at Camp
Verde In Texas had passed Into the
hands of the Confederate government
which paid little attention to them,
und some of them were allowed to
wander away Into the desert. The
remainder, 44 In number, again came
Into the hands of the United States
government at the close of the Civil
war, but they were sold at public auc­
tion, for by this time Uncle Sam had
definitely given up hls camel experi­
ment.
The camels who hnd wandered away
Into the desert at various times dur­
ing the existence of the “camel corps"
have an Interesting history. They
lived half-wild, half-free and were
seen from time to time In various parts
of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.
The Apache Indiuns, who were at first
terrified at the sight of these strange
beasts, soon overcame their fear and
developed u fondness for camel steak.
So many of the animals fell prey to
Indian hunters. Others made such a
nuisance of themselves by scaring and
stampeding the horses and mules of
the overland stage lines and freight­
ing outfits that war was declared upon
them, and white hunters killed many
of them. However, as late as the
eighties there still were camels In
the Southwest and the tradition of
“wild camels," reported from time to
time by prospectors and cattle men,
was a favorite one in that section of
the country for many years. The last
mention of the survivors of Uncle
Sam’s "camel corps" was in 1903 when
a newspaper In San Antonio carried
a story about a camel In a midway
show bearing the “U. S. A.” brand as
well ns the counterbrand of a later
purchaser.
Similar experiments with camels
were trie«] at one time or another in
other states besides those of the
Southwest. In 1800 they were used
for a time for freighting between the
gold camps of that state and in the
same year a man named L. S. Mus­
grave appeared in Denver with two
camels. He had an ambitious scheme
for a system of camel transport from
Omaha to San Francisco via Denver
and Salt Luke City, but got little en­
couragement in the Colorado town.
So he departed for Omaha, but there
