Captain Charles Brewer was a U.S. Army Surgeon stationed at Camp Floyd. He saved the life of Howard Orson Spencer (my third great grandfather) in March of 1859. Howard was the son of Orson Spencer, Brigham Young's confidant and first Chancellor of the University of Utah. Brewer saved Howard after he was nearly killed by Ralph Pike. You can read about the Pike-Spencer Affair for the full story.
Surveyor James Simpson's 1859 Survey of the Great Basin named a spring in Tooele County after Doctor Brewer, honoring his life-saving service. But it's not labeled on modern state maps.
