Importation of Camels by the United States Government 33
Zoiilogique d'Acclimitation de Paris for his services in the intro-
duction and acclimatization of camels into the United States."44
In the fall of 1857, Secretary Floyd, anxious to carry on the
camel experiment, commissioned Lieutenant Edward Fitzgerald
Beale to make a wagon road survey from Fort Defiance, New
Mexico, to California, and a part of the camel herd at Camp Verde
was put at his disposal for experimental purposes to see how they
would do on a long trip. But that is another story and will be told
in a later paper.
The camels remaining at Camp Verde were sold at auction after
the close of the Civil War, and the experiment was at an end.
