Description: | "…a small group of frontiersmen in broad brimmed hats and long rifles in the foreground. Behind them a massive snow capped peak (supposedly Mt.

"[The mountain was] like a generic Bierstadt-like peak which arose very precipitously in the background and dominated the top of the painting" (from a reporter's description.) |
