Gustavus Sohon's Cataldo

What did Cataldo Mission look like 150 years ago? The builders of the Mullan Road included Gustavus Sohon, whose many skills included artist. About 1860 he did a drawing of Cataldo -- a scene that changed little over the years. Note the similarity between the photo below and the picture above.


For more images from the Sohon drawing along with other contemporary pictures, go to Sohon, Cataldo in MobileMe Gallery.
