Mr. Brock refers to accounts of it in Hugh Jones’s Present State of Virginia; the preface to Beverly’s Virginia; Campbell’s Virginia; Slaughter’s Hist. of Bristol Parish; and in Slaughter’s St. Mark’s Parish is a paper on “The Knights of the Golden Horseshoe,” crediting the diary of John Fontaine, which he reprints (it is also in Maury’s Huguenot Family, N. Y., 1872, p. 281), with giving the most we know of the expedition. Cf. also J. Esten Cooke’s Stories of the Old Dominion, N. Y., 1879; and W. A. Caruthers’ Knights of the Horseshoe. Slaughter also gives a map of Spotswood’s route from Germanna to the Shenandoah.
