Donna Schee Spring is located east of the Jackson Range.[1] [2]

Osmer's November 1865 statement:

“Broke camp on the 15th at daybreak and marched to Dunshea Spring – distance of 35 miles… Broke camp on the 16th at daybreak and

marched to Jackson’s Ranch – distance 25 miles, plenty of wood and water… Broke camp on the 17th at two o’clock A.M. and marched 30 miles in a northwesterly direction, attacking the Indian Camp at Sunrise…”

Dunshea Spring is likely Donna Schee Spring.
