Henry James Warre

Henry James Warre was a British officer, traveler and artist.

Educated at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, Warre began his service in British North America, including Canada, as adjutant (aide-de-camp) to his uncle, Sir R. D. Jackson, commander-in-chief of British forces. From 1845-1846, he traveled the country on a reconnaissance tour, visiting Oregon and British Columbia. Henry Warre later participated in the Crimean War, served as a colonel in New Zealand from 1861-1865, and made a sea voyage to the South Island.

Warre had a brilliant military career, rising to the rank of lieutenant general, commander of the Bombay Army. In 1881, while still in India, he retired and returned to London.

Henry Warre was a talented artist, and drew the surrounding vistas and landscapes in pencil and watercolor. He is best known for his books of colored plates, Sketches of North America and the Oregon Territory (1848) and Sketches in the Crimea (1856).
