- Camp Grant was established in October
1863 by Captain John Y. Simpson with Company E of the 1st Battalion
of Mountaineers, California Volunteers. Abeloe's revision of
Historic Spots in California, page 100, placed Camp Grant "on
the Eel River, 3 miles east of Dyerville." Simpson and
his troops captured 166 Indian hostiles, whom he placed on
the Round Valley Resevation in 1864. Company E was mustered out
at Fort Humholdt on June 14, 1865, apparently not long after
Camp Grant was abandoned.
