Camp at Camas Meadow

General Howard camped near where the Nez Perce had been observed the day before in Camas Meadows. It was Sunday, August 19. All day the soldiers followed a broad trail left by the Nez Perce. After an 18-mile march across the sagebrush prairie, General Howard arrived at Camas Meadows. He camped along the high ground fringing the bottom of Spring Creek and named the camp in honor of Captain Calloway
