Uncle Sam's Camels : The Journal of May Humphreys Stacey Supplemented by the Report of of Edward Fitzgerald Beale
"[Stacey's] journal vividly portrays the trials and hardships of the expedition as it moved...to the land of the Mojave on the Colorado, which was its destination. In perusing the journal, one is forcibly impressed with the hazards of travel in the United States in the 1850s, especially in the largely unexplored regions of the Southwest." - Mississippi Valley Historical Review"
