Comments: Born William Gilbert Gaul. An historical illustrator of the Civil War and Native American
life in the Old West. His best known collection of illustrations appears in Battles and Leaders of the
Civil War (Century, 1887). He made his first trip West in 1876; thereafter he became increasingly
fascinated with the Native American tribes and painted on Indian reservations throughout the 1880s. During
this period he kept a studio at the Tenth Street Studio building. In 1890, he took a census of the Indians and
illustrated the Report on Indians Taxed and Indians Not Taxed. Gaul became a teacher at the Cumberland Female
College in McMinnville, TN, in 1904, and in 1905 he had a studio in Nashville, where he published a portfolio by 1907.
Soon after that he went to live in Charleston, SC, and by 1910 he was in Ridgefield Park, NJ,
where he did World War I battle paintings before his death in 1919.
