Commentary

According to Maximilian, the Yellow Stone passed the mouth of the Nemaha River on the morning of April 26, although a dim pencil sketch by Bodmer inscribed as having been made at or near this juncture is dated two days later. Inscriptions on Bodmer's sketches may in some instances have been added later, or Maximilian himself may have been confused.
