"Log Cabin, Kansas." Photo of a family posing in front of an expanded log cabin house somewhere in Kansas Territory, c. 1859. Taken by photographers Charles and Edward Bierstadt while members of the Landers Expedition and originally published as a stereoview. Surviving stereoview cards from this series are extremely rare.
"Culinary art in Camp, 43rd Reg. N.Y. Volunteers." Photo of Union Army cooks of the 43rd New York Infantry Regiment preparing a meal in Camp Griffin in Lewinsville, Virginia, c. 1861-1862. Taken by photographer Charles Bierstadt and originally published as a stereoview. The lattice fence seen in the background of this looks quite similar to the one in the photo of the "hotel" building at Camp Griffin taken by George Houghton, so I surmise this kitchen scene might have been taken nearby, maybe even on the same property.
Photo of a ferry boat with a settler family's covered wagon on it crossing the Big Blue River in Kansas, 1859. Taken by photographers Charles and Edward Bierstadt while members of the Landers Expedition and originally published as a glass stereoview.
