Just Call Me Uncle Sam: Or How a Camel Born at Sea Found Himself in Texas

Before he ever set a hoof on Texas soil, Uncle Sam had already crossed an ocean.

Born aboard a rolling ship bound for America, Uncle Sam was no ordinary camel. He arrived in Texas in 1856 as part of the U.S. Army's bold-and bizarre-experiment known as the Camel Corps, a real-life attempt to use camels to tame the rugged Southwest frontier. But Uncle Sam quickly learns that surviving the Texas wilderness takes more than long legs and a stubborn streak. It takes courage, loyalty, and heart.
