[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***On the Saratoga battlefield in NY is a monument to the wounded leg of a well known soldier
who became a traitor during the American Revolution. Such should be the monument to J.
Davis at Buena Vista, but his name and face should not be commemorated, except as an
insult.****

A tribute to a wounded leg would be be Benidict Arnold.

The U.S. dumped the Camel program (even though it was successful) only because it was Jeff Davis' idea.

I think the sucessful progress of the railroads also let some of the air out of any need to bring in camels.
