A painting by Jean-Francois Millet and Karl Bodmer, 1852. The painting depicts Daniel Boone's teenage daughter, Jemima, and two future cousins, Fanny and Betsy Callaway, as they are kidnapped by a party of Shawanoes and Cherokee in 1776. The rescue of the girls after two days in captivity, unharmed, caused a sensation and became one of the most popular subjects for artists during the 1800s.
