Re: Camp Fagan, Cherokee Nation
In Response To: Camp Fagan, Cherokee Nation ()

Someone will probably know the answer to this and prove me quite wrong: However, it's my understanding that camps were usually named for the senior commander present and that it was a temporary spot -- perhaps for one night or as much as one month. The camp's location moved with the troops in question.
