Camel Attack at the Jefferson Davis Home

[Donna McCreary]

Camel brand cigarettes still exist, right? I don't know because I don't smoke.

Is the camel at the Davis sight a throw-back nod to his idea of using them in the military when he was Secretary of War?

Yes, the cigarettes are still manufactured. I remember my grandfather smoked Camels because they did not have a filter. I've never smoked, and the idea of an unfiltered cigarette seems rather gross.
