If the Hi Jolly Monument and the camel murals and sculptures in Quartzsite, Arizona have sparked your curiosity and interest about camels, this book is a must read for you!
The book traces Arizona’s extraordinary 30-million-year history with camels from prehistoric times to the present day. During this span of time many different varieties of camels roamed free over what is now Arizona, went extinct and were ultimately reintroduced back into the United States. The intriguing story of the Who, What, When, Where and Why over 200 camels were imported into America by the U.S. Government and private entrepreneurs in the mid 1850’s and early 1860’s is explained in an interesting and engaging manner. Their role and impact on western American transportation, Arizona Indians, the western mining interests, the U.S. Army and early American pioneers are also presented.
Because the Quartzsite Chamber of Commerce has demonstrated a commitment to preserving the Community’s rich historical legacy that involves America’s and Arizona’s experience with camels, 100% of the Chamber’s book sales proceeds will go directly to the Quartzsite Chamber of Commerce.
Reading this book opens a window on one of the relatively unknown chapters of the history of Arizona and the United States that is both captivating and fascinating – please enjoy!
