Jefferson Davis tried to create the camel corps when he was in the senate and pushed it through as Sec of War. To prove that they could be tamed, he would ride them in Jackson, MS. Everybody hated them and a law was passed making it illegal to ride camels in Jackson. That law is still on the books.

the more interesting markers I've seen are two grave sites from the US Infantry / Calvary, in the middle of nowhere
and are now basically a small note in a wiki page: I've been by there a couple times on work trips. always took a moment to pay respects. I have photos on a computer in storage. I found one reference photo on-line:  Old Camp Warner (Historic Site) Historic sites Today, very little evidence of Army occupation remains at either Old Camp Warner or Fort Warner. The original Camp Warner site is now part of the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge. There is virtually nothing left to mark the camp except for two Army graves. The Fort Warner site is located on a privately owned ranch adjacent to Fremont National Forest. No Army buildings remain at the Fort Warner location, but the footprints where structures once stood can still be identified.[5] While nothing remains at either military site, the Stone Bridge the Army built to cross the Warner wetlands still exists and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1][11] |

A Jeff Cooper story about Slim Pickens
Slim went in to a Colorado Wildlife Department office and asked for a license to hunt camel. The agent says, "Sir, we don't have any camels in Colorado." Slim says, "Well, you don't have any deer, either, but you sell licenses fer'em." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did they eat the things? Probably not. As one of the few people in GD who has actually eaten camel, I can attest that camel burgers taste like ground cardboard. A few of us bought ground camel at the butcher in 1993 in Al-Khobar Saudi Arabia. At the butcher shop they had the camel's head hanging on a hook with a cigarette in its mouth. The meat was so dry that we had to add an egg to it just to get the stuff to stick together enough to form patties. We charcoal grilled then, and they sucked. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Cool. There’s a similar marker at Camp Verde. Hadji Ali's (Hi Jolly) grave is marked in or near Quartzite, and I think here used to be a Camel Corps marker in Apache Junction. I found a death marker on Jim Jennings' ranch near Williams, commemorating the demise of an 18 month-old child. It's a marble pylon with his name and date of death, but I doubt it's a grave marker. It seems that the family would have had to return to the site with the marker years after the event. I wish I could recall the poor kid's name. ETA- correcting my horrid, hungover punctuation. |

"Project Shoal" has a cool plaque in the desert about 30 miles south east of Fallon NV.
It was an underground nuclear detonation in the '60s to do seismic research or something. Been there recently, but I have no pics. |

I get fresh camel ever couple months, and its amazing. Its better as a stew meat, slow cooked rather than grilled. Tastes very much like veal. I need to go get a few pounds this friday, now that I think about it. |

Not sure how middle of nowhere this would be considered, but on a county road in the middle of miles of farmland in NW Ohio are markers for an old Shawnee town site and the homestead of the first permanent white settler in that county. He was my wife's ancestor. Nearby is the site of a fort from the same era, Ft Amanda.
