German-born soldier Herman Stieffel’s rendering of the fort appears to be done earlier in the year as the land still appears verdent and lush. Although Stieffel’s style is somewhat primitive, and he misspells the name of the fort as he titles his work “Fort Keoeg” the amount of detail (down to the gophers peering out of their holes), is impressive. A very similar view of Fort Keogh by Stieffel can be found in the National Archives. | German-born soldier Herman Stieffel’s rendering of the fort appears to be done earlier in the year as the land still appears verdent and lush.
