Indians Lamenting the Approach of the White Man (from McGuire Scrapbook) ca. 1830 Frederick Stiles Agate American The son of English immigrants, Agate was a student of Samuel F. B. Morse and a founding member of the National Academy of Design. In this drawing, one of only a few by the artist that survives, four Indians cluster together in attitudes of despair and resignation.
