River view of Warren on April 2, 1852, as conceived by Harold C. Putnam and artist Elton W. Davis. (see 'Warren Mail' April 8, 1852). This drawing was made for a 1942 Christmas card (Putnam) and in 1952 was re-expressed as a large painted mural in Warren's Conewango Club. Both renderings are extremely accurate and true to history.
