"The name Great Falls of the Missouri has been given to the cataracts collectively, although it is applied more particularly to the greatest one which is represented as a frontispiece…. This is the last of the series of cataracts, and is thirty-six miles above Fort Benton. The sketch was made from the left hand bank, which has rarely been visited by white men."
