Additional Details

The two plans showing riverside topography were drawn by Lieutenant T. B. Brown and printed at Imbert's Lithography. The maps were inscribed, folded and sent in the form of a stampless letter by West Point historian Roswell Park to a young Charlemagne Tower in Oneida County, NY, an eventual prominent businessman. The addressed side notes "Models of Topography Oct. 29, 1831" and bears a West Point post-mark.
