Description: In this listing we are offering five CDV photos circa 1870’s. They are of the accomplished doctor, naturalist and explorer Samuel W. Woodhouse, his wife Sara, and his children, Samuel W.

This Samuel Woodhouse photo is in excellent condition. The CDV is marked on the back "M. P. Simons, 1320 Chestnut St. Philada." This photo & a selection of other photos were discovered in a personal photo album that had belonged to Samuel W. Woodhouse, the noted naturalist, surgeon and explorer who took part in the Sitgreaves and other expeditions. A number of the CDV photos in the album were of various well known people as well as of Woodhouse relatives and others whom we were unable to identify. The album was put together in the 1860's and 1870's. The listings of images from the album have the name Woodhouse in the listing titles. Samuel Washington Woodhouse was born on June 27, 1821 & died on October 23, 1904. He was appointed physician and naturalist of the U.S. Army Corps of Topographical Engineers' survey of the boundary of the Creek Nation in the Indian Territory in 1849. The expedition was led by Captain Lorenzo Sitgreaves. On the expedition Woodhouse discovered and named previously unlisted types of birds and collected various botanical specimens. Woodhouse was the author of "A Naturalist in Indian Territory: The Journal of S. W. Woodhouse, 1849-50." Woodhouse went on a second Sitgreaves expedition in 1851 to the Zuñi and Colorado rivers. On this expedition he survived both a wound from a Mohave arrow & a rattlesnake bite. Additional information about Woodhouse is online on the Oklahoma Historical Society's Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture.
