I think I started to comment on this before, became overwhelmed by my feelings about the idea of a camel corps, and ultimately forgot to press send. My apologies. The gist is that I 💗 this and the camel pyramid and thanks so much for going out of your way & sharing this with us.
As you are the film's apparent target audience, I think you need to watch Hawmps!, the one film made about the Camel Corps, and give us your most critical review. Do you choose to accept this mission?
I really wanted to mention Hawmps! just because it's one of the worst titles Hollywood ever used, but I haven't seen it and don't plan on doing so. Apparently Hi Jolly is a character in Inland, a novel by Téa Obreht, and I may read that someday.

I do, thanks! 😂
Very interesting.
I knew vaguely about the camel corps debacle because of this movie which I knew *OF* but never saw:

As a result, I never heard of Hi Jolly before reading your post. Thanks for sharing!

I see camels on my way to work most days, but they don't have such interesting backstories (as far as I know.
That London Bridge thing is wild. Huckster for sure.
Thank you for sending me up that way to Havasu and to Oatman! Both stops were worth it.
