It was an instant success and sold within two years for $ 25,000. When it was introduced, it was the artist's first one painting showing and almost a thousand people arrived for its first showing. Bierstadt later bought the painting back and gave it to his brother. It was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1907.
