Just Call Me Uncle Sam: Or How a Camel Born at Sea Found Himself in Texas
Before he ever set a hoof on Texas soil, Uncle Sam had already crossed an ocean.
Born aboard a rolling ship bound for America, Uncle Sam was no ordinary camel. He arrived in Texas in 1856 as part of the U.S. Army's bold-and bizarre-experiment known as the Camel Corps, a real-life attempt to use camels to tame the rugged Southwest frontier. But Uncle Sam quickly learns that surviving the Texas wilderness takes more than long legs and a stubborn streak. It takes courage, loyalty, and heart.
Alongside Stormy, a hot-tempered mule with plenty of opinions, Uncle Sam journeys across dusty trails, lonely deserts, and rough military outposts. Together they face scorching heat, dangerous terrain, and the unpredictable humans who depend on them. Yet as their friendship is tested by ambition, pride, and changing frontier fortunes, Uncle Sam discovers that every adventure comes at a price-and every choice shapes his destiny.
Told in Uncle Sam's own unforgettable voice, this thrilling and emotional tale brings readers inside one of the strangest chapters in American frontier history. Young readers will experience the wonder, danger, and excitement of the Old West through the eyes of an animal who truly lived it.
From Spur Award-winning author Preston Lewis comes another remarkable true-to-history animal autobiography in the beloved Old West Critters Collection, where legendary animals tell the stories only they could tell. Perfect for middle-grade readers ages 8-14, animal lovers, and fans of frontier adventure, Just Call Me Uncle Sam blends humor, history, and heart into an unforgettable
