During the 1860s he illustrated scenes of the Civil War for Harper's Weekly. During the early 1870s he was in New York and painted in the Adirondack Mountains. He exhibited in San Francisco in 1876-77 at the Mechanics' Institute. By the mid-1880s he had moved to Los Angeles where he remained until his demise on February 16, 1909. Works held: Butler Institute (Ohio); Brooklyn Museum; First National Bank of Chicago. | Source:
