Nielson of Springville has recently written a book titled "Roll Call at Old Camp Floyd, Utah Territory." The book addresses a period in 1858 when the locations and activities ac-tivities of the Utah Expedition Expedi-tion (Johnston's Army) between be-tween Salt Lake City and the establishment of Camp Floyd at Fairfield are not generally known. The army entered Salt Lake City on June 26, 1858, and camped across the Jordan River west of the city. Most histories say the army then marched directly di-rectly south and west into Cedar Valley where it established es-tablished the well-known Camp Floyd at Fairfield. The fact is it did not. The army spent the next 10 weeks at three different campsites before finally occupying Camp Floyd. After three days at the Jordan Jor-dan River Camp, the army spent the next eight days camped on West Creek, now known as Bingham Creek. Its next stop was on the west bank of the upper Jordan nearly opposite the old Saratoga Resort. Three days later, it moved about 10 miles nearly due west to the mouth of West Canyon Can-yon and established the camp that is the focus of the book: Old Camp Floyd, also known as the Upper Camp. It wasn't until eight weeks later that the army moved to its permanent camp at Fairfield, also called Camp Floyd. The Upper Up-per Camp became known as Old Camp Floyd after the move. .

Also, many interesting events occurring during the short lifetime of the camp appear in a chapter titled "Camp Chronology." The purpose of the publication pub-lication is to make known the travels and activities of the army, and those associated as-sociated with it, during the time period of June 26 to September 8, 1858. Names and histories of individual soldiers and the exact locations loca-tions of army camps during dur-ing that period have not been published before.
