View on the St. Peter's River, Sioux Indians Pursuing a Stag in their Canoes

“The scenes that are passed between Prairie du Chien and St. Peters, including Lake Pepin, between whose magnificently turretted shores one passes for twenty-two miles, will amply reward the tourist for the time and expense of a visit to them. And to him or her of too little relish for Nature's rude works, to profit as they pass there will be found a redeeming pleasure at the mouth of St. Peters and the Fall of St. Anthony.” George Catlin sketched this work in 1836 on his journey to the Pipestone Quarry in what is known today as Minnesota.
