The one pictured here was located close enough to the village of Lewiston that it was successful in harassing American forces during the war. The item shown here is described by Lossing: “The picture represents a view of the Niagara River and shores from Vrooman's Point. In the foreground are the remains of the battery. On the right is seen Queenston and the Heights, with Brock’s monument; on the left, Lewiston and its heights; and in the centre, Niagara River and the Lewiston Suspension Bridge.

His note reads: “This view is from a drawing made in 1813, previous to the attack on Fort George, and published in the Port Folio in July, 1817.

This 1838 study for the larger mural, completed the next year, is the same in most of its features. The mother and daughter have their bonnets removed, the better to see their faces, and the baskets of agricultural bounty have grown--perhaps a comment upon scarcity during the Great Depression. In 1828 a proposed Black River Canal was surveyed as to branch off the successful Erie Canal, extending from Rome, NY north toward the St. Lawrence River. It was thought that lower-cost transportation would aid in economic development of communities in Lewis, Herkimer, and St. Lawrence counties. Construction was completed by 1855: 35 miles of canal, and another 40 miles of navigable waters along the Black River to the village of Carthage. But maintenance costs and competition from railroads made the canal unprofitable and in 1900 it was abandoned north of Boonville, NY and completed shut down in 1925. Thus, the McCulloughs' mural looks back to a relatively recent past in Boonville.

Among other things he painted for the Federal Art Project; two of his works are at the New Deal Gallery.

It's likely he was invited to create this collection of illustrations based upon his earlier work. In Donald G. Taggart's history of the Third Infantry Division, an illustration appears immediately after the title page for each chapter. The images therefore correspond rougly to the following campaigns: 1.

Aside from his extant paintings there are glimpses of a creative, even whimsical vision. This drawing dates to 1926, when Kadowaki filed a patent for "Lighting Apparatus" using a presumably translucent celluloid cockatoo. The description for Patent Application #1,616,579 reads: "In lighting apparatus, the combination of an electric lamp socket support and a lamp enclosing member consisting of a hollow translucent celluloid body of elongated form having a slit adjacent to one end and a hole communicating with said slit for engaging said socket support, and a weight positioned inside one end of said body."

A nail manufacturer from New York City named Josiah B. Pierson purchased the land in 1795, built a dam and bridge across the Ramapo River, and by 1813 was producing a million pounds of nails per year. As local iron ore supplies dwindled, the operation then expanded into weaving and cotton production, but with the coming of railroads at by mid-century the advantage of close proximity to New York was lost. Operations were suspended in 1851. This map is a reconstruction of the Ramapo Works, described in greater detail by Rev.
