## Image Caption
The Missouri River. Photo taken by Hans Andersen in Bismarck, North Dakota, USA in 2004 from the vantage point of the The Meriwether Restaurant looking toward the north. The photo resonates in the line from the [Cheyenne](https://www.worldhistory.org/Cheyenne/) legend *[Old Woman's Water and the Buffalo Cap](https://www.worldhistory.org/article/2509/old-womans-water-and-the-buffalo-cap/)* where the narrator places the events of the story in the time "when the Cheyenne were far on the other side of the Missouri River where there are many lakes" (Grinnell, *By Cheyenne Campfires*, 257).
