EDITORS COMMENTS
COLORADO: MINERS, 1897. A glimpse into the lives of hardworking miners from the Cottonwood Placer Company, captured in this vintage photograph by Thomas McKee. Seated outside the entrance of a cave with an attached shed known as Ocean Grove, located on the picturesque San Miguel River in Montrose County, Colorado. These men epitomize the spirit of adventure and resilience that defined the late 19th-century American West. In their weathered hats and vests, these rugged individuals take a moment to relax after a long day's work in the mines. The scene is filled with intriguing details - from an old sign hanging above them to a fence enclosing their humble abode. With shovels and mining tools scattered around them, it's evident that they are dedicated employees committed to extracting precious minerals through placer mining. The composition exudes nostalgia for a bygone era characterized by westward expansion and turn-of-the-century aspirations. As we gaze at this image, we can almost hear echoes of laughter and stories shared over tables crafted from rocks found nearby. This print offers us a window into history; it reminds us of those who shaped Colorado's mining industry during its formative years. Let it transport you back to an age when determination fueled dreams and where prospectors like these played vital roles in shaping our nation.
