Born in Philadelphia, Edward Kern was the youngest of three brothers
who were survey artists, and he participated in several key expeditions
to the American West. By 1841, he was exhibiting in Philadelphia as a
painter and continued to be listed in the city directory although he
traveled widely from there.
He served as topographer on John
Fremont's third expedition that crossed the Plains and Rockies to
California in 1846. He was under Fremont's command during the Mexica (showing 500 of 1985 characters). |
