Keelboat on the Upper Mississippi | Media List


Statement

Much of my work is inspired by my research into the early history of this country, and in particular that of the upper Mississippi River region. Keelboats were an important form of transportation in the era just prior to the introduction of steamboats, and were used for decades afterward. In this scene a keelboat heading upriver laden with supplies for Fort Snelling, or perhaps a fur trade post, is dwarfed by the river valley.
