For James Hagerty Acknowledgements I wish to extend my most sincere appreciation to my dissertation committee. Your influence on my work is, perhaps, apparent, but I am truly grateful for the guidance you have provided over the years. Your patience and support while I balanced the weight of a museum career and the completion of my dissertation meant the world! I would certainly be remiss to not thank the staff, trustees, and volunteers at the Millicent Rogers Museum for bearing with me while I finalized my degree. Your kind words, enthusiasm, and encouragement were greatly appreciated. I know I looked dreadfully tired in the weeks prior to the completion of my dissertation and I thank you for not mentioning it. The Couse Foundation, the University of Oklahoma’s Charles M. Russell Center, and the School of Visual Arts, likewise, deserve a heartfelt thank you for introducing me to the wonderful world of Taos and supporting my research. A very special thank you is needed for Ginnie and Ernie Leavitt, Carl Jones, and Byron Price.

From this we might assume that Eastman, and perhaps Chapman, may have consulted a wartime pho- tograph. His antebellum Sumter is highly idealized, drawn perhaps from an as-yet unidentified print, or extrapolated from maps and plans of the fort—child’s play for a master topographer like Eastman. Coastal Defenses The forts painted by Eastman had once been the state of the art, before rifled artillery rendered masonry Fig. 11.

By 1867, when the construction of new Third System fortifications ceased, more than 40 citadels defended Amer- ican coastal waters.12 Most of East- man’s forts were constructed under the Third System, but few of them saw action during the Civil War. A number served as military prisons. As commandant of Fort Mifflin on the Delaware River from November 1864 to August 1865, Col. Eastman would have visited Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Island, located in the river channel between Wilmington and New Castle, Delaware. Channel-dredging had dumped tons of spoil at the northern end of the island, land upon which a miserable prison-pen housed enlisted Confederate pris- oners of war. Their officers were Fig. 12. It appears that Eastman used this George N. Barnard photograph, Fort quartered within the fort in relative Sumter in April, 1865, as the source for his painting.

  • The Donner Pass RR Route Before Theodore Judah John C. Fremont's 3Rd Expedition in July of 1860, Theodore Judah, with the Assistance of Dr
    June, 2011 issue #34 The Donner Pass RR Route Before Theodore Judah John C. Fremont's 3rd Expedition In July of 1860, Theodore Judah, with the assistance of Dr. Daniel Strong of Dutch Flat, was searching for a feasible railroad route across the Sierra Nevada. Unbeknownst to Judah, fifteen years earlier, in 1845, 32-year-old Brevet Captain John Charles Frémont of the U. S. Topographical Corps had traveled that route a continuous grade climbing from Dutch Flat to Donner Pass. Frémont was leading his third western mapping expedition, one of the objects of which was to find a shorter, more direct route from the Missouri frontier to the Pacific. His third expedition route from Missouri was via Bent's Fort to Salt Lake, and from the southern end of the lake, directly west across the desert. This desert crossing was accomplished when the party arrived safely to water at Pilot Peak. (The route was back-tracked by Lansford Hastings later in the year and was appropriated as part of his infamous “Hastings Cut-off). Here Frémont divided his party, sending the bulk of the expedition north under Theodore Talbot guided by Joseph R. Walker to join the Humboldt River route. Meanwhile, with fifteen select men, Frémont crossed central Nevada to Walker Lake, the place agreed up for the two divisions to rendezvous. This was to explore the interior of Another that region defined by Frémont's previous circumnavigation of the Donner Summit Great Basin (Frémont's coinage), a Historical First geographical feature he first described and mapped in 1844 On his arrival at Walker Lake on November 24, Frémont wrote: "I was in the neighborhood of the passage which I had forced across it a year before see pg 5 [his epic winter crossing of Carson Pass in February 1844], and I had it on my mind.
