Biographical History
Painter from Detroit, Michigan, primarily of pictures of Indians.
John Mix Stanley (1814-1872), began painting Indians in 1838, was with Gen. Kearny's California expedition in 1846, and toured the Pacific Northwest in 1847-48. In 1853 he was an artist on Gov. Stevens's expedition to survey a northern route for the Pacific railroad.
In 1853, the United States Congress appointed the Army's topographic bureau to conduct six surveys to find the best route for a transcontinental railroad. Isaac Stevens, governor of Washington territory, led the northern survey along the 47th parallel between St. Paul, Minnesota and the Puget Sound. In addition to exploring and mapping the territories, the surveys studied the Indians, the animals and the natural features of each area. The Stevens expedition employed two artists to illustrate the report: John Mix Stanley and Gustavus Sohon.
