If you can't find the originals, you may be able to find a published
version of the sketches in Harper's Weekly, Frank Leslie's Illustrated
or another of the popular magazines of the period. I recently cataloged
a print by Charles Graham in our office collection from Harpers Weekly
in 1887 titled "Sketches in Utah." It's possible he had other worked
printed in this outlet or others like it.
I would also be interested to hear if anyone knows where Graham's
original art may be found.

Subject: Charles Graham sketches
In the process of re-housing our collection at the State Historical
Society of North Dakota we recently discovered a set of thermo-faxes of
sketches by Charles Graham, who accompanied General Rosser in the 1872
expedition to survey the route for the Northern
Pacific Railroad. According to the notes with the thermo-faxes we
received them from the University of West Virginia on 19 June 1964,
depicting scenes of the Dakotas and their people by Charles Graham.
However upon contacting the University of West Virginia about the
sketches we found this to be incorrect information.
So now we are asking for assistance in locating these sketches--we
would be interested in possibly using them in an upcoming exhibit for
our new interpretive center at the Chateau de Mores.
We thank you in advance for any assistance you may render,
