"'The sand of the desert is sodden red The Gatling's jammed and the colonel dead'" This is a fascinating memoir of the early career of a prominent British soldier of the late 19th and early 20th century. It is made the more interesting because it concerns the actions of one of those odd types of unit that special and peculiar conditions occasionally create in armed forces-in this case the Guard's Camel Regiment. The author guides the reader through the fascinating and unique business of combining Guardsmen and camels before they together embark on the ill-fated campaign to rescue the beleaguered Gordon in Khartoum. This is a unique book which describes the desert march in vivid detail. What makes it essential is the description of the battle of Abu Klea from the perspective of one who fought within the famous 'broken square.' This, together with riveting battle action at Abu Kru and other engagements makes for a classic account of the 'gentlemen in khaki' at war in the name of the Queen Empress. The text is liberally illustrated by the author. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket.

*Includes pictures *Includes contemporary accounts *Includes a bibliography for further reading In the 1850s, Americans widely believed that the area from the 97th Meridian to the Rocky Mountains was vast, sterile, and useless, fit only for wandering natives and something to be endured rather than enjoyed by the people traveling through. Putting the eastern border near the point where the Great Plains begin, a common name for the huge region was "The Great American Desert," and the acquisition of the Southwest from Mexico added to the already huge area, commonly considered desert wasteland. Suddenly, the United States had a million square miles of Great American Desert to administrate, an area where the resident native warriors considerably outnumbered the small U.S. Army. In fact, the use of the word "desert" probably contributed to the idea behind using camels in the region, thanks to their reputation as "ships of the desert." With that in mind, the United States Camel Corps was a military experiment in the 1850s that brought camels from Egypt and Turkey to Texas and California. The cast of characters in this story is larger than life and includes U.S. Army and Navy officers, explorers, writers, politicians, and diplomats. The most famous person involved was Jefferson Davis, a U.S. Senator from Mississippi who went on to become Secretary of War and the Confederacy's only president. The project also utilized Haji Ali (also known as "Hi Jolly"), the U.S. Army's first Muslim employee, and it even had a small effect on the Civil War. One of the camels, Doug, was used by the Confederates at Vicksburg, and locals despised the Red Ghost, a feral camel that terrorized rural Arizona. The most important result of this historical footnote probably has no resonance in American history, and in fact, the name "United States Camel Corps" was never formalized, but it seems to be what historians call a retronym, a name given after a phenomenon has receded into the past. How long the name of "Camel Corps" has been in existence is unknown, but it has been used in literature for close to a century. What the troopers themselves called the unit remains unknown. However, the unit was extraordinarily important to Mexico, thanks to a man named Elias, one of the Syrian-Arab cameleers. Hired and brought over to teach American soldiers how to handle camels, Elias eventually moved to Sonora, Mexico, married a Yaqui Mexican woman, and had a son who went on to become a formidable and energetic president of Mexico. The United States Camel Corps: The History of the U.S. Army's Use of Camels in the Southwest during the 19th Century looks at the unique unit, from its origins to its record. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about the United States Camel Corps like never before.
