Publisher's Synopsis

""The Uses Of The Camel"" is a book written by Joseph Warren Fabens in 1865. The book explores the possibility of introducing camels into the western states and territories of the United States. Fabens argues that camels could be used as a means of transportation and as pack animals in areas where traditional transportation methods were difficult or impossible. He provides a detailed history of the use of camels in other parts of the world, including the Middle East and Africa, and argues that their introduction into the western states could have numerous benefits. The book also includes practical advice on how to train and care for camels. Overall, ""The Uses Of The Camel"" is a fascinating exploration of an idea that was ahead of its time and provides insight into the challenges and opportunities of transportation in the American West during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
