The Red Ghost of Arizona

**This post contains affiliate links, and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.

Lindsay and Madison discuss The Red Ghost of Arizona, as well as why it’s a bad idea to shoot at something with a dead body on its back, that we almost had a real Camel Corps once upon a time, and how we almost had a Camel Postal Service.  Plus, we celebrate our 50th episode with lots of our fellow podcasters and listeners.
