Description:
|
Described in Vol. I, pp. 74-75. Caption from Truettner catalog of Catlin's Indian Gallery. Entry from Catlin's 1848 catalog reads, "View on Upper Missouri--View in the 'Big Bend,' 1900 miles above St. Louis; showing the manner in which the conical bluffs on that river are formed; table-lands in distance, rising several hundred feet above the summit level of the prairie." Originally painted in 1832 (Truettner, 1979, pp. 252-253). This location lies in an area now inundated by Lake Sakakawea, formed on the Missouri River behind Garrison Dam.
