Oil painting by Elbridge Ayer (E. A.) Burbank (August 10, 1858 – April 21, 1949) The painting depicts a famous stagecoach ride of Hank Monk and Horace Greeley along Highway 50 to Placerville where Greeley was to give a presentation.

Burbank was an American artist born in Harvard, IL in 1858. After studying at the Chicago Art Academy, he received a commission to illustrate Northwest magazine, essentially an advertisement published to encourage homesteading. The traveling entailed in finishing this commission brought Burbank through Montana, Idaho and Washington, and fostered a profound appreciation for the American West in him. He sketched and painted more than 1200 portraits of Native Americans from 125 tribes. In his 30s he traveled to Munich, Germany for additional studies with notable German artists. He is believed to be the only person to paint the war chief Geronimo from life.
