Stearns spent a long career as a portrait, genre, and historical painter in New York. He studied at the National Academy of Design in New York, becoming an Associate in 1848 and an Academician the next year. Hannah Duston was a colonial Massachusetts Puritan mother of nine who was taken captive by Abenaki people in 1697. With two other captives, she killed 10 Abenaki people, including women and children, to escape. She told her story to Cotton Mather, who wrote an account. Duston became more famous in the 19th century as her story was retold by Nathaniel Hawthorne, John Greenleaf Whittier, and Henry David Thoreau.
