1851 began to paint in oils. in 1858 he
went: abroad to study at Dusseldorf
and in Rome, making sketching tours

Switzerland. Returning tothc United
States in 1857, he made an extendcdtour
thronghthe West, and it was he who
first put upon canvas the scenery in the
Rocky Mountains, the Yosemit Valley
and the Yellowstone.
Among his best know paintings are

Cecoran in Sierra Nevada," (1878), nowiu
the Corcorau Gallery, Washington.
In speaking of Mr. Bierstadt's work, a
well-known artist said to a reporter:
“There was a time when Blerstadt’s
paintings brought the highest of any
American painter, and in London he was
unpopular as he was here. He was a
great chap for courting royalty, and many
of the English nobility were his friends.
He was a particular favorite of the Mar-
quis of Lorne and the Princess Louise.
But painters, like women's gowns, get
out of fashion. Since Bierstadt made a
name for himself. other painters in land-
scape have came to the front, and I fancy
Bierstadt'a paintings would not sell for
nearly as much now as they did ten or
fifteen years ago. At any rate. they would
not bring anything near their value at. a
forced sale." ‘

sought to imposi- through an appeal that

“We have not appealed to force; we
have noted as lawmlildiug citizens; we
have refrained from violl-iwc.” says this
shameless whee-lie. Yet at that very
moment the streets of Brooklyn were
lined with the entire police force and
with militia of thr- State to protect the
street curs. their passengers and opera-
tors, from being stopped and umuulted.
Then thostrikcrs go on to insult other
citizens not engaged in the strike. They
call the men “imported from other (titles
of the Union" to run the Brooklyn ours
in the plflt'f! of the strikers who have re-
fused to run them, “the scum and drift-
