TWW Comment

These sketches were probably made by the artist during his survey work for the USA in 1845. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_River . A copy of his journal is available "The journal of Lieutenant J.W. Abert from Bent's Fort to St. Louis in 1845". Please let us know if you are aware or a digital copy
