The artist, George Catlin, (1796–1872) was born Pennsylvania. He was trained as a lawyer but quickly gave up that profession to devote his career to painting Indians in their native land. In 1830-31 Catlin traveled St. Louis where he lived for the next several years. Best remembered for his images of Native Americans, this view is one of his earlier works. This view does not note a publisher or publication date but does note that it is based on the painting in Possession of the Mercantile Library Association.
