PLATE 4 
One of four water-color sketches by Peter Rindisbacher secured in London 
some years ago. Size of original 94 inches high, 17% inches long. Collection 
of David I. Bushnell, jr. Twenty or more similar sketches are in the library 
of the Military Academy, West Point. One of these was used as an illustration 
by McKenney and Hall in their great work; the second used by them is ina 
private collection in Washington. Another of the pictures now at West Point 
was reproduced by wood cut and appeared on page 181 of Burton’s Gentleman’s 
Magazine, Philadelphia, April, 1840. Rindisbacher may have come to America 
with the Swiss colonists who settled in the Red River Valley in 1821, and in 
the Public Archives of Canada are six small sketches which were probably 
made by him at that time. (See pl. 6, a.)

until the autumn of 1848 traveled among the native tribes of the far west, 
making a iarge number of paintings of Indians and scenes in the Indian 
‘country. One hundred or more of his paintings are in the Museum at Toronto; 
others are in the Public Archives of Canada, Ottawa. Some of the sketches and
