View of the Bear Paw Mountains from Fort McKenzie

Description

On September 11 Bodmer made another study from the hills above Fort McKenzie of what Maximilian referred to as the Bear Paw Mountains. Meanwhile, having been advised against wintering in the area, Maximilian decided to return to Fort Clark. The voyage downstream was made in a small mackinaw boat and included only Maximilian's party, a helmsman, and three Canadians.
