Desert journalist/historian Steve Brown takes us back to the 1850s and spins the true story of legendary camel driver Hi Jolly and the “camel corps” of the U.S. Army during the years leading up to the Civil War and beyond, in a fast-paced tale of the Middle East meets the American West, and learn the truth of who – or what – is buried in Hi Jolly’s tomb!
