Strange Sandstone Formations on the Upper Missouri

Description

Bodmer continued sketching the unusual formations along the Missouri channel on August 2. He often incorporated more than one view on the same sheet of paper, and many were grouped together when featured in various combinations in the atlas of aquatints published in Europe. Reproduced here is a series of sketches, two of which were mentioned by Maximilian on August 2 as sketch AA and sketch BB.
