Excerpt from Description of Banvard's Panorama of the Mississippi River, Painted on Three Miles of Canvas: Exhibiting a View of Country 1200 Miles in Length, Extending From the Mouth of the Missouri River to the City of New Orleans We next find him engaged in his favorite employment of painting - he having made an engagement to ornament and decorate a public garden. But this concern soon failed and left him without money or employment. At this time he was about sixteen years old. Our hero, nothing daunted, by per severing labor obtained a little money, engaged a room, and pursued the business of painting for himself. The day had not arrived for success in his chosen pursuit; so being fond of adventure, he started down the river with some young men of his acquaintance, to seek anew his fortune.
