Their account really begins in Asia Minor as they cycle on through Persia and Turkestan, with detours to Merv, Bokhara and Samarkand. They peddled across the vast tract of the Gobi Desert to Peking, where they were received by Li-Hung-Chang, the Prime Minister of China" -- unknown author.

The structure was built by San Gabriel Mission fathers. Used as a warehouse when Richard H. Dana landed there, and as a store by Alexander and John Temple, owned by Abel Stearns, Alexander Bell and John Temple. Issac Williams of Chino used it as a shipping place. The building was used by Chapman to put together woots he had constructed at Mission San Gabriel. -- See Guinn, Vol. 1, pages 402-403."; "The hidehouse was built in 1823 by the British firm of McCulloch and Hartnell, in 1829 transferred to San Gabriel Mission, in 1834 puchased by  American Abel Stearns and improved and developed to a very successful business. It was used for storage of steer hides and tallow which were processed and shipped from this  point to New England, U.S.A The building was gradually neglected and finally deserted from about 1860s while commerce developed at Timms Point and in Wilmington. Old-timers from early 1900s reported some ruins remaining and finds of arrowheads etc.  The adobe hidehouse was the first structure of any kind on the Bay of San Pedro. Early Dominguez, Sepulveda and Gutierrez ranch-houses were inland a few miles. Information previously on record that the hidehouse was built by mission fathers late in 18th century is erroneous.

Plaque was placed on site in Fort MacArthur in l978 by State of California and San Pedro Bay Historical Society, making it a California state historic monument." -- unknown author.

Developing an insatiable appetite for art, Remington received his first formal art training at Yale and the Art Students League, but left college before graduating to pursue the adventure and excitement of the western frontier. He gathered information, made sketches and took photographs which he later used at his home in New Rochelle, NY to create his paintings and bronzes. He died in 1909 of complications following an appendectomy, and is buried in Canton, NY.Remington's paintings and sculptures are owned by museums and private collectors throughout the world, with the largest collection located here in Ogdensburg at the Frederic Remington Art Museum. Through his heroic and savage depictions of cowboys, soldiers and indians, Remington glorified the theme of the West as the American Frontier." -- unknown author.
