Consists of fifty copy print photographs. The majority are associated with William H. Brewer and are labeled "Wm. H. Brewer Mojave Expedition(?)" which traveled between Wilmington, California to Fort Mojave, Arizona from 1863-1864. The photos are of indigenous people, landscapes, botany, and expeditioners. Some were also attributed to the photographer Rudolph D'Heureuse. Locations include the Colorado River, Macedonian Mountains, Rock Springs, Dry Canyon, El Dorado Canyon, Tettchatticup Tunnel, Cedar Spring Canyon, Marl Spring, Warm Soda Springs (Soda Lake), Camp Cady, Lewis Spring, Sugar Loaf, Helendale, Oro Grande, Cajon Pass, and the Wozencraft House. Three photographs were taken of San Diego's Culverwell's Wharf and Horton House. Named individuals include Captain Atchisson, Chief Tercherrum, Dr. Stark, John Moss, Elder Lyman, John Peter Gabriel, and Mrs. J. P. Gabriel. Some indigenous people were identified as Mojave Paiutes (Asper-ka-miah or Eagles), and some plant life are identified as yucca, Joshua Tree, and other cacti. Some catalog cards have noted that original prints are in the holdings of the University of California, Berkeley's Bancroft Library.
