A survey and topographical artist based in California and Mexico, Carl Schuchard was born in Hesse-Cassel, Germany, and trained as a mining engineer in Kassel and Hersfeld, Germany. He migrated to California in the 1849 Gold Rush, but failing to find gold, went to Texas as a surveyor. On his way he did a landscape view of Fort Yuma, Arizona, that appears in an 1853 "Journal" of Lieutenant Sweeney.
About 1856, he worked for a private firm on Gray's survey of a railroad route for the South (showing 500 of 4153 characters). |
