Bogard, Batiste, and I, Traveling through a Missouri Bottom

“In this voyage, Ba'tiste and Bogard were my constant companions; and we all had our rifles, and used them often. We often went ashore amongst the herds of buffaloes, and were obliged to do so for our daily food.” George Catlin probably sketched this scene on the Upper Missouri in 1832, but didn’t complete this painting until several years later.
