Howard Terpning is considered one of the finest Western artists of his generation. Another copy of this lithograph is available for purchase to benefit the TMC Healing Art Program.

The artist says about this print: "The boundaries of the Sioux Indian nation defined by the Treaty of 1868 were not respected by pioneers or elements of the Sioux and their Cheyenne and Arapaho allies. So, I wanted a somewhat anxious mood to pervade this image of the great plains as cavalry soldiers and Crow Indian scouts gaze across a beautiful, but troubled landscape."
