I apologize to the forum for the post, which must be confusing  to Forum 
members.  Please understand, Mr. Antonucci is responding to a  private email, 
a courtesy copy of which was sent to him because of the content.  He was not 
present at the close of the meeting in question, when I formally  placed on 
the record a statement of thanks to him for forcing Nevada historians  and 
surveyors to seek out the remaining primary documents relative to the  issue.
 
He is correct, there will be no further discussion of  nominating the site 
name, in deference to the Washoe tribe. That does not mean  the board 
members have changed their opinion as to the Clemens campsite, only  that a formal 
nomination for it to be named will not be  pursued.

Robert  Stewart's account of the most-recent Nevada Board on
Geographical Names  meeting omits several relevant points in connection
with the motion to  table indefinitely the naming proposal. I was
present during the entire  session on the issue. I presented
uncontroverted factual evidence on the  record that showed the much
publicized exposed flat rock and beach where  Stewart supposes Clemens
camped in 1861 did not exist until the mid-20th  century. In addition,
I submitted into the record a copy of my book. . .  .
