US Military Posts named for Confederate generals

They were for the longest time. I forget when the last was seen. The made a James Garner-Maverick show based on one of the survivors. The problem was that Horses and Mules hated Camels. They smelled funny. Could wreck a whole supply train or a cavalry column by just showing up. Camels were a Jeff Davis idea. No wonder the South lost the War! Also the American desert is hard pan while that in Arabia and Asia is soft and sandy, so the Camels got sore feet.
