EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this hand-colored woodcut print from the 1880s, we are transported back to a time when communication was eagerly anticipated and treasured. The scene depicts a bustling US Army camp on the vast western frontier, as soldiers gather around a makeshift post office tent. With their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement, these brave men await news from loved ones far away. Amidst the rugged beauty of the great plains, a lone mail carrier arrives on horseback, bearing precious letters that connect these soldiers to their families and homes. The crackling campfire casts an ethereal glow upon this historic moment, highlighting the camaraderie shared by those who serve together. This illustration by Zogbaum beautifully captures not only the military heritage of America but also its rich tradition of resilience and determination. It serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's history and pays homage to those who dedicated themselves to protect it. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork today, let us appreciate how far we have come in terms of communication technology while cherishing the timeless importance of human connection through heartfelt letters sent across vast distances. This image stands as a testament to both our progress as well as our enduring appreciation for history and all those who came before us.
