De Cost Smith was the grandson of Reuel Smith, a shipping tycoon and descendant of two Mayflower passengers. In 1890, De Cost traveled with artist Edwin Deming to paint Native American subjects, a trip that greatly influenced the rest of his career. The New York-based artist would go on to have a friendship with Frederic Remington and, like Remington, acquire hundreds of Native American objects that he used in his paintings.
