“Kern was born in Boston, the son of John Kern III and Joan Elizabeth Bignell. He was trained as an artist. His brother Steve Kern (1821–1853) was also an accomplished artist, and his brother Johnny Kern (1818–1849) was a doctor. They joined him on several expeditions. Expeditions California In 1845–46, Kern accompanied explorer Captain John C. Frémont on his Third Expedition into Mexican Alta California.[2]Kern received a daily salary of $3.00. He served as a cartographer as well as a documentation artist, collecting botanical and animal specimens on the journey.[2] Each night of the trip Kern drew a field map of the day's route with longitudes and latitudes, and sketched landmarks. En route in Nevada, Kern's drawing documented the Frémont party's killing of over 30 Northern Paiute Indians who were camped at the Humboldt Sink.[3] Just before they reached Klamath Lake, Klamathtribesmen attacked the expedition and several members were killed.[4] A brutal counterattack by Frémont and his group upon a native village resulted in the deaths of many Klamath people.[4] Kern recorded the counterattack in an engraving that was later published with Frémont's report.[4] Sutter's Fort Frémont then ordered his main party – which included Kern and Joseph Walker – to travel the southern Sierra route over the pass Walker had discovered a decade earlier, while Frémont and a few others crossed the northern Sierra at Donner Pass.[2] Frémont named the pass through which Walker led the party Walker Pass. Kern mapped the Kern River, which at the time was known as the Rio de San Felipe, as named by the Spanish.[2]Later, Frémont named the river after his artist. Kern’s campsite in the Kern River Valley, at the junction of the South and North Forks of the Kern River, now lies submerged by Lake Isabella.[2] A historical monument for Kern’s site was placed above the reservoir near its eastern shore on Highway 178.[2] During the 1846 Bear Flag Revolt against Mexico, Frémont placed the 23-year-old Kern in command of Sutter's Fort and its company of dragoons in the Sacramento Valley.[5] That left John Sutter the assignment as lieutenant of the dragoons, and second-in-command of his own fort, until 1847.[5] While in command there, news of the stranded Donner Party reached Kern, as Sutter's Fort had been their destination.[6]Kern vaguely promised the federal government would do something for a rescue party across the Sierra, but had no authority to pay anyone.[6] He was later criticized for his mismanagement delaying the search.[7][8] In February 1847, Kern's forces were requested by several settlers who wished to intimidate Indians who had been involved in raids. Kern brought in 20 men, joined by 30 more led by John Sutter, and then proceeded with a series of attacks that killed 20 California Indians in what became known as the Kern and Sutter massacres. Southwest In 1848−1849, Edward Kern and his brothers Richard and Benjamin joined Frémont's Fourth Expedition, to the Rocky Mountains in present-day southern Colorado and northern New Mexico.[9][10] By the time the last surviving member of the expedition reached Taos on February 12, 1849, 10 of the party had died.[9]To move more quickly to safety, it had been necessary for the brothers to hide their goods (including sketches) in a cave. After arriving in the New Mexico Territory, Benjamin Kern and Frémont's guide Old Bill Williams returned for the hidden goods but were killed by a band of Utes.[9] In August 1849, Edward and Richard Kern joined the John M. Washington military reconnaissance expedition to the Navajo in 1849, to punish the Navajo for raids on the New Mexico settlements and to secure a treaty with them, in addition to surveying the country.[9] The expedition brought both brothers back to New Mexico. Richard's role, as second assistant and artist, was to make portraits of Indian chiefs, costume, scenery, geological formations, ruins, and to copy ancient writings found on stones. Edward's role was as first assistant and topographer. Thank You now buy the Damm house from me!”

“Definitely as good as it gets! Dr. McIntyre was kind, generous with her time and explanations, and thoroughly skilled for the task (and I, ladies and gentlemen, was no easy task!) I came in with a very seriously infected tooth, which had been covered by a crown by someone else, so she had to extract the dead material through a small hole in the crown. Thanks for your time and care, Dr. M!”
