RAILROAD & THE US CAMEL CORPS

Posted at
 

Chapter 15 has been submitted and should be available shortly.

The US Camel Corps, briefly mentioned in this chapter, as well as the involvement and support of the effort by Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee are all fact. While the test proved the usefulness of camels in the American Southwest, their continued use after the Civil War was doomed politically by the original support of both Davis and Lee. For a time, a few civilian versions of camel caravans continued through parts of the southwest, but they too were doomed by arrival of the Railroads. For those interested in this small part of US History checkout a short (6:22 minute) video on the subject at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pQS268E2C0

Proving, yet again, the fallacy of an author messing with their story after receiving a final edit, the last two chapters contained a stray homonym, a nonpossessive possessive apostrophe, and a couple of Spanish spelling typos. Muchas Gracias to CoullPert and all those Garcias out there who caught and reported them. A special thanks to fju33 for catching and reporting the typo of Muerta. It has been corrected to Muerto. All changes will be submitted for reposting in the near future.

For those who've asked about an audio version, production is approximately two-thirds complete on an audio version of Robledo Mountain. I expect that to be completed and available from the usual web sites in a couple of months. I'll provide more information as it gets near to completion.

Until next week, remember to practice social distancing and stay safe.

As always, I look forward to your emails and comments.
