The history of camel trains in the United States consists mainly of an experiment by the United States Army. On April 29, 1856, thirty-three camels and five drivers arrived at [[Indianola, Texas]]. While camels were suited to the job of transport in the American Southwest, the experiment failed. Their stubbornness and aggressiveness made them unpopular among soldiers, and they frightened horses. Many of the camels were sold to private owners, others escaped into the desert. These feral camels continued to be sighted through the early 20th century, with the last reported sighting in 1941 near [[Douglas, Texas]].<ref>[http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/whatever-happened-wild-camels-american-west-180956176/?no-ist Smithsonian: "Whatever Happened to the Wild Camels of the West?"]</ref>
