I've found that this group named various runs, rivers, camps, etc. after the people that took part in the expedition. I've been reading John Fontaine's Diary regarding the whole affair and while on the expedition, they named the various camps, runs and mountains for the people that were there: Expedition Run Beverly Camp--Robert Beverly Todd's Camp Dr. Robinson's Camp Taylor's Camp Col. Robertson's Camp Brooke's Camp (also called Rattlesnake Camp) Spotswood Camp Mount George Mount Spotswood Hospital Camp--several of the members, and servants, became ill and stayed here Capt. Clouder's Camp & Clouder's Run Mason's Camp Capt. Smith's Camp Fontaine's Spring Barb Price In a message dated 12/13/2008 06:35:50 Pacific Standard Time, john.hogg@sbcglobal.net writes: Hmmm, You don't suppose there was a Robinson in Spotswoods expedition to the Shenandoah?
