Overview

This is a historical report from the Secretary of War regarding the purchase of camels for military transportation. Communicated in compliance with the resolution of the Senate on February 2, 1857, the document provides information on the experimental use of camels by the U.S. Army in the mid-19th century. The report details the rationale behind the acquisition of camels, the challenges and benefits observed during their use, and insights into their suitability for military operations in arid and semi-arid regions of the United States. Jefferson Davis, as Secretary of War, played a significant role in promoting this initiative. This document offers valuable insights into a unique chapter in American military history and the exploration of alternative modes of transportation.
