Miller painted a version of this for his Baltimore patron, William Walters, around 1858. He wrote similarly about both iterations, that the Pawnee deserved extremely close watching or one’s horses would disappear. For Alexander Brown he wrote that both Indian and Anglo were constantly watching each other, one as predator and one as potential prey. “When we were ‘en routé,’ we were continually under surveillance. From the tops of the bluffs, behind rocks, and out of the long grass of the prairie, they watched us ….” (Bell, 136)
