EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print transports us back to the historic moment when the Oklahoma Territory was opened to settlers in 1891. The image captures the sheer excitement and anticipation as homesteaders charge forward at the start signal during the western Oklahoma Land Rush. In this vintage illustration, we witness a snapshot of American heritage and traditional pioneering spirit. A vibrant town emerges on the horizon, with covered wagons and horseback riders galloping across the prairie towards their desired land claim. The pioneers are determined to secure their place in history, venturing into uncharted territory with unwavering determination. The artwork beautifully depicts a scene from America's frontier days, showcasing how transportation played a crucial role in settling new lands. Horses pull wagons laden with supplies while brave settlers ride alongside them, ready to establish their homes and build communities amidst untamed wilderness. As we delve into this 19th-century illustration, it becomes evident that this event marked an important milestone in American history – one that shaped not only Oklahoma but also North America as a whole. It symbolizes unity and ambition as people from all walks of life united under one common goal: claiming their piece of land. This print serves as a reminder of our ancestors' resilience and tenacity while paying homage to those who paved the way for future generations. It stands as an enduring testament to the indomitable spirit that defines our great nation's past and present.
