Frank Tenney Johnson a commencé sa carrière en tant qu'illustrateur pour le magazine Field and Stream en 1904. Johnson vit à New York de 1904 à 1920, mais il se rend dans le grand Ouest américain pour y trouver des sources d'inspiration pour son travail en studio.





Le voyage de Johnson en 1912 dans la réserve des Pieds-Noirs du Montana avec Charles Russell a été un moment décisif pour l'artiste ; après ce voyage, il s'est installé dans le Colorado pendant de nombreuses années. Après un bref retour en Californie, l'artiste passe de nombreuses années dans son nouvel atelier de Cody, dans le Wyoming.





Les œuvres de cette période ont valu à Johnson les titres de "maître de la peinture américaine au clair de lune" et de "maître de la peinture du vieil Ouest". Le tableau "Scouting" montre une scène autochtone idyllique ; les études et les expériences de première main de Johnson avec les autochtones sont un thème récurrent dans son œuvre.
