- Abstract
-
A set of six framed oil paintings of scenes in the Pacific Northwest. Four of the paintings, "Falls of the Peluse Snake River," "Kakkabakka Falls (Falls on the Willamette)", "Buffalo Hunt," and "Buffalo Resting", have been attributed to Paul Kane. "Fort Vancouver, Columbia River," has been attributed to John Mix Stanley (see Hassrick, et al., Painted Journeys, 2016). C. P. Wilson, in his article “Early Western Paintings” in The Beaver (June, 1948) suggests that “Mount Hood from the East” might be by or after a work by Henry J. Warre, a British Army officer.
