| | Texas Camel Corps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | This cry was sounded from the Gulf Coast of Texas to the Hill Country 150 years ago when the US Army imported camels for military use on the western frontier. |
 | | It was heard again May 20, 2006 as the modern day Texas Camel Corps reenacted this quirky bit of Texas History, leaving Indianola headed for Camp Verde where the Sesquicentennial Camel Drive arrived June 3rd. |
 | | Participants included Doug Baum, Texas Camel Corps owner, Jim Hale of the American Camel Company, Gilbert Tafolla Hernandez, of San Antonio, Texas, whose great-great grandfather worked with the original US Army camels in the 1850’s and 1860’s, Ernest Geigenmiller of San Antonio, Texas and author Frank Gonzales of Smiley, Texas. |
