Wild camels once roamed West Texas. In 1856 US Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis instituted the US Camel Corps to use the camels as beasts of burden carrying cotton and other goods across the Southwest. Their soft padded feet weren't suited to the rocky conditions. They changed hands between the Confederate and Union armies and most were sold at auction. A few escaped and were known to still roam the region until the early 19th century.
