Walter Mason Camp is also well-known for interviewing hundreds of both white and Indian participants in the American Indian Wars of the second half of the nineteenth century. Although Camp wrote only a few brief papers and speeches, his interview notes are important source material, particularly for researchers dealing with the Battle of the Little Bighorn. For many years after Camp's death, his notes were inaccessible, but most are now held in public collections, in the Camp Collection at the Brigham Young University Library in Provo, UT; the University of Colorado Library in Boulder, CO; Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument at Crow Agency, MT; the Camp Collection at Indiana University Bloomington Library; and the Denver Public Library in Denver, CO. These collections also include photographs and maps. Some material remains in private hands. Much of the material (mostly that related to the Battle of the Little Bighorn) has now been published. Camp visited the Little Bighorn Battlefield many times, in the company of such notable participants as Curley, Peter Thompson, Gen. Edward S. Godfrey, Sgt. Daniel Knipe, Stanislaus Roy, George Herendeen, and others. He used his engineering skills to survey and map the battlefield and Custer's route to it. Camp also rediscovered a number of "lost" battle sites, including those of the Battle of Slim Buttes and the Wagon Box Fight.
