From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2000 11:46 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Knights of the Golden Horseshoe Those interested in the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe should obtain from their local library, or by interlibrary loan, "The Journal of John Fontaine." Fontaine was the minister who accompanied the "Knights" to the top of the Blue Ridge. His journal contains his account of this journey. He was in company of Spotswood from the beginning, at Williamsburg, through all of the local stops (and all of the toasts to various important events along the way) until the end when Spotswood returned to Williamsburg. This is a marvelous anecdote of our past with many references to those who made the trek and those met along the way.
