Annotations to the Journal of Matthew Stirling

Date of Note/View Entry Keyword(s) Note

September 3, 1926 camp

Referred to in other accounts as “Explorators Camp,” “Exploritors Camp,” or “Exploration Camp.” But, unlike Hedberg’s account, Stirling does not mention this camp’s name in his journal other than to refer to it as, “our camp by the gorge to Tombe.”
