Saline Creek

Description

Dated November 21 1832, is this sketch of the banks on Saline Creek, a tributary of the Ohio. Maximilian recorded on this day that Bodmer made drawings "at home," later went walking in the woods, and in the afternoon paid a visit to a local whiskey factory to view its steam engine. Maximilian's journal makes no further mention of Bodmer's activities at this time, but it may be supposed that he made the sketch during an afternoon stroll along Saline Creek.
