    "description": "At the close of the fur-traders' rendezvous, Miller's patron, the Scottish Sir William Drummond Stewart, took a small group of friends fishing and hunting in the Wind River Mountains. Miller recalled the region as a sportsman's paradise, with crystal clear lakes in which trout were so plentiful that they could be caught with pins rather than with fishhooks.\tThis painting was commissioned by William C. Wilson in 1853.",
