"ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE BROTHERS."

(Rejoicing over the November election, Springfield, III., November 20, 1860, at a political meeting.)

"I rejoice with you in the success which has so
far attended the Republican cause, yet in all our
rejoicing let us neither express nor cherish any hard feelings toward any citizen who by his vote differed with us. Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers of a common country, and should dwell together in the bonds of fraternal feeling."

From: Words of Lincoln, published in 1895

On March 3rd, 1855 U.S. Congress allocated thirty thousand dollars toward the purchase of camels to be used in the American Southwest.Postcard with the following transcript on the back:

"THE ARMY IMPORTED 68 CAMELS and 10 drivers 1856-7 for freighting supplies from Texas to California. They worked OK on a trail west from Albuquerque, later Route 66. In three years the Army abandoned the experiment because Congress laughed at them. Sold to circuses and released on the desert, the beasts roamed for the next 30 years ! Hi Jolly, last of the camel drivers, died in the desert near Quartzsite, Arizona in 1902 clasping the neck of his favorite camel. His tomb stands in Quartzsite beside I-8.”

Quartzsite is by In10 not I 8
