The Lost Greenhorn

Painting by Alfred Jacob Miller, The Lost Greenhorn, circa 1860. The 1840s-1850s saw a transformation of the Western trapper into a national icon, independent and resourceful. Actual mountain men, like Kit Carson, and fictional characters like the Lost Greenhorn acted out a story of the fur trade as an adventure for young, single men. Eastern audiences responded with enthusiasm.
