The Hunter Russell
Description
Maximilian spent the latter part of February and the first days in March at New Harmony collecting zoological and botanical specimens. He was frequently aided by the local inhabitants, particularly a hunter named Russell. Bodmer made a sketch of Russell dated February 18. The inscription indicates only that it was made near New Harmony and that the subject himself was from Illinois.
