Hanging Dog Island
Description
Above Cape Girardeau, Missouri, near Hanging Dog Island on the morning of March 21, Maximilian observed, "This region of the river is called Hanging Dog Bend. The river is beautiful and wide. On the left tobacco is grown. Farther away is the mouth of Indian Creek, now called Apple Creek." Bodmer made two quick sketches in this vicinity.
