During his 1801 journey to John Masten's farm to purchase the skeleton of a mastodon, Charles Willson Peale made seventeen finished and three unfinished sketches of the scenery along the Hudson River in the vicinity of West Point, Fort Clinton, and Fort Putnam. Most of the sketches were completed in watercolor during or shortly after the voyage, and include views of Slaughter Landing, Verplank's Point, Stony Point, Dunderberg or Thunder Hill, Haverstraw Bay, Anthony's Nose, and several of West Point.
