Back in New Bedford: teaching, then painting

A Swiss landscape at the National Academy of Design

First journey west, with Frederick Lander
With the government land surveyor Frederick W. Lander, Bierstadt travelled into the Colorado and Wyoming territories, and the trip turned his art towards the American West. He returned with sketches to his studio in New York's Tenth Street Studio Building and worked them up into numerous paintings.

“Guerrilla Warfare” shown in Brooklyn
Bierstadt based this Civil War painting on his brief stay with soldiers at Camp Cameron in 1861 and on a stereoscopic photograph by his brother Edward. Shown by the Brooklyn Art Association at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, it received a favourable review.
