Of the present work, Lovell wrote, 'It is early morning at a Nez Perce camp, with a dust of snow on the ground. A wisp of smoke tells that one family is awake and a lonesome sorrel pony pulled his picket pin and walked over to push at the door flap for attention. A young mother and small boy appear and petting begins a happy day, not the first time nor the last.'
