content: "It appears to be mid or late 19th century in date, and depicts a camp somewhere in the Great Lakes area with what appears to be considerable accuracy. In fact, in style and content it resembles an 1845 painting by Paul Kane titled "Encampment among the Islands of Lake Huron" (reproduced, e. g.., as plate 7a of "Villages of the Algonquian, Siouan, and Caddoan Tribes...,'by D. I. Bushnell, Smithsonian Institution, Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletin 77, 1922). It may perhaps be another Kane painting of the same location." -- Letter of December 15, 1965 to Mr J. W. Murphy from William C. Sturtevant, Division of Cultural Anthropology, S. I.

Date: Not recorded; [mid or late 19th century].
