EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as it depicts the Shoshone Camp fording a river in 1837. Painted by Alfred Jacob Miller, this watercolor on paper artwork measures 20.4x16.7 cm and is housed at the Joslyn Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. The painting showcases an expedition led by Thomas Fitzpatrick of the American Fur Company, accompanied by Miller and Scottish soldier Sir William Drummond Stewart. They embarked on a journey along the Oregon Trail through old Nebraska Territory to reach one of the last fur trappers rendezvous in Wyoming's Green River Valley. Intriguingly, Stewart had established strong bonds with the Snake Indians or Shoshone tribe over time. The artwork beautifully portrays their friendship amidst stunning natural surroundings featuring trees and a flowing river. The scene is bustling with activity as numerous individuals can be seen engaging in various tasks while mounted on horses. This lively depiction offers insights into Native American culture during that era. Miller's artistic talent shines through his skillful use of watercolors to capture both the landscape and people involved in this historic expedition. The painting serves as a valuable record of geographical exploration during America's frontier period. Overall, this artwork not only showcases Miller's artistry but also provides viewers with a glimpse into an important chapter of American history marked by discovery, trade, and cultural exchange between Native Americans and European settlers.
