For your bidding pleasure is this painting Montana Lewis & Clark On River by Jesse Henderson. This is a painting done by a Montana artist and signed by him as well; this painting is also numbered 4/50. Jesse Henderson is a western painter who paints Indian themes to encourage interest and to educate. His images of the Lewis and Clark expedition were adopted by the US Postal Service, museums and corporations to commemorate the expeditions 2004 bicentennial. No place claims more of the Lewis and Clark trail than Montana. In their epic expedition across the continent searching for the Northwest Passage on behalf of President Thomas Jefferson, the Corps of Discovery covered more miles within Montana than in any other state. Montana is where they saw more grizzly bears than other human beings; where they gorged themselves on buffalo meat (9 pounds a man per day) and where they ran out of whiskey. This painting is in good condition showing two larger vessels surrounded by canoes scouting out a river. With Teepees being set up on one side of the bank Lewis and Clark Discovery Expedition makes its way using the river. The measurements of this painting are 22 1/2" x 37 1/2".
