Graphite Drawings, "At Pappea Creek," "Pappea Creek," and "Six Mile Grove" by Frederick Piercy

Three graphite drawings by English Mormon artist Frederick Piercy, documenting his journey to Utah in 1853. Two drawings show different views of Pappea Creek in present-day Nebraska. The third drawing is of Six Mile Grove, believed to be in Iowa. Several of Piercy's works were reproduced as prints in his "Route from Liverpool to Great Salt Lake Valley," published in 1855.Title: Graphite Drawings, "At Pappea Creek," "Pappea Creek," and "Six Mile Grove" by Frederick Piercy
