THE GEOKGE CATLIN INDIAN GALLERY. 

 APPENDIX C— Character. 



ITINEEAET FEOM 1837 TO 1871. 



I afterwards made my exliibition in New York, Philadelpliia, Washington, and 

 Boston, in 1837 and 1838, and then went to London in 1839, and oiiened in the Egyp- 

 tian Hall, in 1840, paying a rent of £500 per annum for three years ; then went to 

 Paris with it, showed it in the "Salle Valentino," in 1845, and afterwards, by com- 

 mand of Louis Philippe, in the "Salle des Seances," in the Louvre. The revolu- 

 tion turned me out "neck and heels," and at great expense I got my collection out 

 of Paris and to London, and opened in Place "Waterloo, for two years, in 1848. 



THE CATLIN INDIAN GALLERY IN THE UNITED STATES, 1837-1839. 



Mr. Catlin exhibited his Indian gallery in ISTe-w York, Philadelphia, 

 Washington, Boston, and other cities during portions of the years 1837, 

 1838, and 1839. His success "was great, pecuniarily and personally. He 

 attracted the attention of scientific and other learned men in the sev- 

 eral cities, and "was given many social courtesies and attentions. 



He made up his mind in 1839 to take his gallery and museum to 

 Europe, and in the fall of that year, armed "with letters of introduction 

 from several gentlemen of character, given herein, he sailed for New 

 York in the packet ship Eoscius, Captain Collins.
