He came to Colorado in 1865, having honed his illustrative skills as a Union soldier during the Civil War. He sought to present the awesome natural beauty of Colorado, as well as mining interests there. His documentary illustrations of the American West are accurate and attractive, among the earliest and most important of his time.

Based in New York City, he printed a broad array of topics and maps, including a lithographed edition of John J. Audubon's The Birds of America. From the collection of William S. Reese (1955-2018), who was one of the great Americana booksellers. His firm continues to trade in New Haven.
