content: Original list in accession file indicates Rau got this artifact from Charles Wimar. Karl Ferdinand Wimar (also known as Charles Wimar and Carl Wimar); 20 February 1828 – 28 November 1862, was a German-American painter who concentrated on Native Americans in the West and the great herds of buffalo. When Wimar was 15 years old he moved with his family from Germany to St. Louis, Missouri. He made two long trips in 1858 and 1859 up the Missouri River. He also traveled up the Mississippi.
