He was a legendary navigator/explorer and was the first to chart much of the Colorado. His steamers and barges carried virtually all significant commerce in western Arizona until the coming of the railroad in 1878.Date Original1981Date Range1980s (1980-1989)TypeStill ImageOriginal FormatDrawings (visual works)Oil pencilContributing InstitutionArizona Capitol MuseumCollectionChris-Town Shopping Center - 24 Arizona Heritage PortraitsRights StatementIN COPYRIGHT
