Context:
This view of Fort Snelling, looking from the hill at the back of the Sibley House in Mendota, Minnesota, is one of four versions of the scene that Edward K. Thomas probably painted between 1836 and 1842. In the immediate foreground on the right is the Sibley House, owned by General Henry H. Sibley (1811-1891), regional manager of the American Fur Company and, later, the first governor of Minnesota, from 1858 to 1860. At the right of the Sibley House is Henry Sibley's office. To the left is Faribault House, built for Jean Baptiste Faribault (1774-1860), who began operating a trading post in Mendota in 1819. To the left is the house of the ferryman, who transported passengers across the Minnesota River. On the western banks of the river is Fort Snelling, and on the hill to the left of the fort is Franklin Steele's house. An early pioneer to the area, Steele developed waterpower at the falls and established the first logging and lumber companies. The two smaller houses on the left were either for officers from the fort or men affiliated with the fur-trading company.
