Based on sixteen years of practical observation in India, Afghanistan, Egypt, and the Soudan, Arthur Glyn Leonard’s *The Camel, Its Uses and Management* is a classic guide to the desert’s vital animal. Drawn from diaries kept during military campaigns, this comprehensive work details the proper treatment, breeding, and versatile uses of both riding and baggage camels. It serves as an essential resource to stimulate interest in, and guide soldiers in the most practical doctrines of, transport and care.
