Limestone Formation, on Pitt River, 1872. Creator: Alfred Harral
Limestone Formation, on Pitt River, 1872. Geological feature near the Pit River in Northern California, USA. Here the Indians, known by the name of the river, are mostly to be found, encamped in great numbers on the plain...The river is
quite rapid, but neither broad nor deep. It abounds in salmon...This accounts for the presence of the Indians, who secure the fish by spearing. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. I, edited by William Cullen Bryant.

Limestone Formation, on Pitt River, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that offers a glimpse into the geological wonders of Northern California. Captured by Alfred Harral, this image showcases a stunning limestone formation situated near the Pit River. The area surrounding the river is known to be inhabited by indigenous people who are commonly referred to as the "Indians of the river". In great numbers, they can often be found encamped on the nearby plains. The photograph not only highlights the beauty of nature but also provides insights into local culture and traditions. The Pit River itself is described as rapid yet narrow and shallow, teeming with an abundance of salmon. This natural phenomenon explains why these Indians have chosen this location for their settlements since they skillfully spear fish from its waters. Taken from "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant in 1872, this print exemplifies Harral's artistic talent and attention to detail. It forms part of a larger collection featuring illustrations created by eminent American artists during that era. Through this remarkable composition, viewers are transported back in time to witness both the majesty of nature and human interaction within it. Whether appreciating the rugged mountainscape or observing native peoples' harmonious relationship with their environment, "Limestone Formation on Pitt River" serves as a testament to America's diverse landscapes and rich cultural heritage captured through pen and pencil artistry.
