Rhonda, thank you for the information! I will have to take a little time at the ASU library and look up your article. by the way, I have a friend of mine trying to pin point the exact location of the 5th's camp at the William Lane place east of Smithville. Also trying to locate the one near the Milligan Campground in now present day Sharp county. He is much more knowledeable than me. As always, I found conflicting information,so i turn to someone more knowledgeable than me. I now know the properties, just dont know exact locations. Hopefully one day we can have a map available. One of the posts was named Camp Ferguson, I believe it was the one located on Osborn's Creek. Does this match your information?
