Ruschenberger was a physician in the US Marine Corps from 1826, his first cruise (1826-1829) on the frigate Brandywine visited ports including Callao, Valparaiso, and Rio de Janeiro. He was fleet surgeon on the USS Peacock on the South American station in 1832-1834, and fleet surgeon to the East India Squadron, on the Peacock again, on its circumnavigation in 1835-1837, and on USS Plymouth in 1847-1849. He was fleet surgeon to the Pacific Squadron on USS Independence in 1854-1857. He wrote several books, incuding Three Years in the Pacific (1834) and A Voyage Around the World (1838). The present album apparently compiled with material from his South American cruises in the 1820s and 1830s.
