"Seventeen years after the time of Colonel Fremont, to-wit, in 1863, we see Albert Bierstadt with his easel set up by the trail, and he is trying, as painters do. with the poor materials, of brush and pigment and palette, to transfer to mere canvas the ineffable glories of the sun and bay and sky.

Some men are standing by Artemus Ward, Fitzhugh Ludlow and Joaquin Miller. Fremont, never forgetting his camp on the mountain side, sent Bierstadt to paint the 'golden' gate. Joaquin Miller, never forgetting the day he stood there with Bierstadt, came back years later and bought that place. 27-inch ESMOSD ROBE FIvANNIiU dark, light and medium colors.
