Henry Hamilton Bennett

Under Overhanging Rock at Black Hawk's Leap, No. 1034 from the series "In and About the Dells of the Wisconsin River"

Named for the famous Sauk leader, this dramatic view combines Bennett's documentary precision with the era's romanticized interpretation of Native American history embedded in the landscape.
