SUMMARY:Texas Camel Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Texas Camel Experiment \nFrom 1856 to 1866\, Texas was home to
  the little-known U.S. Army’s Texas Camel Experiment\, a project that used
  camels to ferry supplies across the deserts of the Southwest. It came abo
 ut because some in the U.S. military wondered that since camels thrive in
  deserts\, why wouldn’t they do as well in arid portions of the American S
 outhwest? \nDoug Baum will discuss the history of this noble experiment at
  7:30 p.m. Thursday\, August 24\, at the Allen Public Library. \nBaum’s pr
 imary mission is to honor the 19th-century experiment to use camels as a f
 reight-hauling system on the arid frontier. He will also discuss the ecolo
 gy of camels and why the American southwest was a supportive habitat for t
 hem.  \nAs the owner and operator of Texas Camel Corps since 1997\, Baum’s
  business activities include guided camel excursions in the Big Bend regio
 n of Texas and guided tours in Egypt\, Jordan\, Morocco\, India\, and Keny
 a. An award-winning documentary filmmaker\, he and his camels have been fe
 atured in Texas Monthly \, Texas Highways \, Smithsonian Magazine \, and N
 ational Geographic. \nAdmission is free and the program will be streamed l
 ive on ACTV. Find viewing options at  Watch ACTV  or view online at ACTV.o
