Congress refused the secretary of war's request for funds to purchase 1,000 camels for military use in the West.
Through the years that followed, wild descendants of those camels were spotted in different parts of the wilderness.
That year, army major H. C. Wayne and naval lieutenant David D. Porter were sent off in a supply ship to buy camels and bring them home.
The drivers found the camels ugly and often grumbled about their smell and how the camels spat at them and sometimes bit them.
