Studies of Native American Leaders Made at Fort Laramie ca. 1859 Albert Bierstadt American Bierstadt arrived at Fort Laramie, in present-day Wyoming, as a member of the expedition to the western portion of the Nebraska Territory with Colonel Frederic W. Lander in June 1859, during a time of tense relations between the Lakota (Teton Sioux) and the United States government. Bierstadt made vivid field sketches of the Native peoples he encountered there, including this powerful depiction of four leaders. The artist intently observed and recorded the clothing and physiognomy of each man, inscribing each ones name below his head. In the foreground of the major painting that resulted from this trip, "The Rocky Mountains, Landers Peak" (07.123), several of the male figures at the lower right may have been inspired by the present study..
