Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: Very Good+. 1st Paperback Edition; 1st Printing. B&W Illustrations; This is larger than trade sized paperback book with illustrated covers and a glued spine. The book is in Very Good+ condition and was issued without a dust jacket. There is some beginning bumping and rubbing to the spine ends and corners. T…he text pages are clean and bright. "In 1836, Major George H. Crosman, United States Army, who was convinced from his experiences in the American Indian Wars in Florida that camels would be useful as beasts of burden, encouraged the War Department to use camels for transportation. In 1848 or earlier, Major Henry C. Wayne conducted a more detailed study and recommended importation of camels to the War Department. Wayne's opinions agreed with those of then Senator Jefferson Davis of Mississippi. 391392 Davis was unsuccessful until he was appointed as Secretary of War in 1853 by President Franklin Pierce. When US forces were required to operate in arid and desert regions, the President and Congress began to take the idea seriously. Davis found the Army needed to improve transportation in the southwestern US, which he and most observers thought a great desert. In his annual report for 1854, Davis wrote, "I again invite attention to the advantages to be anticipated from the use of camels and dromedaries for military and other purposes ." On March 3, 1855, the US Congress appropriated $30,000 (equivalent to $1,012,393 in 2024) for the project. 393394 A report entitled "Purchase of Camels for the Purpose of Military Transportation" was issued by Davis in 1857. " (from Wikipedia).
