Ali, the camel narrates his fascinating story, from his birth and separation from his mother, through the trials of traversing the globe, to his life in the United States Camel Corps. Crossing the Texan desert in 1856, he has to balance his work ethic with his dreams of freedom. While winning over his true love and surviving in the old West, Ali's view of the "men-beasts" changes, as those who keep him in servitude earn his respect and love. This little-known slice of history, told from such a unique perspective, will please readers of all ages.
