Grand Tower on the Missouri above the Niobrara
Description
Above the Ponca village the Yellow Stone reached the mouth of the Niobrara River on May 13. Later it passed a distinctive topographical feature on the banks of the Missouri called the Grand Tower. Bodmer's watercolor dated this day describes the appearance of the river, but does not present the Grand Tower as a prominent aspect of the scene.
