In the Sierras

Acquired by Abijah Curtiss c. 1880 [1] by descent; to his son Frederic Haines Curtiss Boston MA [2]; gift of Mr. and Mrs. Frederic Haines Curtiss to the Fogg Art Museum 1940.
[1] On November 13 1940 Curtiss wrote to Paul Sachs that "the picture by Bierstadt I imagine was purchased by my father in the '[18]80s but I am not sure." (copy of letter in curatorial file)
[2] Abijah Curtiss did not bequeath "In the Sierras" directly to his son Frederic H. Curtiss in his will (probated August 7 1888). Therefore it must have descended in the family.
