We've all heard that biblical admonition, "seek and ye shall find." Many years ago, in checking the bibliography of this noted Hamilton historian, I found reference to a little known West work entitled "Camp Olden Field." With my interest in that neighborhood where I grew up, I searched in vain for many years. I finally found a copy which is in very poor shape. It was penned by Joseph West in 1905 for the GAR celbration held here that year. Now that I have found it, I am searching for information on the naming of Hamilton's "Camp Avenue," which just happens to be in the Camp Olden area.
