Of course there were several fabulous camels starring in the film as well. ;)Natalie Monkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197043273258414949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-36944184310527667852015-03-26T11:54:20.983-04:002015-03-26T11:54:20.983-04:00Enjoyed your post, Margaret.

When they turned to stare at the choir from the center stage, their eyes were fascinating, almost like they were contemplating what to do with you. :)<br />Martha W.

Isn't it great that no matter are ages, there's always something new and exciting to learn?<br />Margaret Brownleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083440011924979594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-89195614900330300572015-03-24T17:29:01.919-04:002015-03-24T17:29:01.919-04:00Hi Keli, I mentioned the legend of the Red Ghost c...Hi Keli, I mentioned the legend of the Red Ghost camel in Gunpowder Tea. Camels were supposedly given to carnivals and zoos after the experiment, but visual spottings of camels in the wild continued for years.

Oh my. What a cranky animal. I didn't know they were that bad. I would not have wanted to have to deal with them, but it was very interesting to hear. So much history I've learned about America since I've been on the Author sites. So glad I got started tho. But, spend way too much time on my computer now. I wish I had kept notebooks about the many things in History that I've learned. A big thanks for this post. Your new book looks and sounds great. Would love to win it sometime, or maybe get it as a gift.
