FRONTIERSMAN, 1858. The Last Shot
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph by Currier and Ives transports us back to the untamed American West in 1858. In this scene, we witness a pivotal moment in the era of westward expansion and manifest destiny. A lone frontiersman stands tall amidst the vast expanse of the Great Plains, his horse at the ready beside him. Dressed in rugged attire, he embodies both courage and determination as he faces an imminent threat. With a revolver gripped firmly in one hand and a tomahawk held high in the other, our protagonist prepares for what could be his final encounter with an American Indian warrior. The tension is palpable; it is clear that only one will emerge from this clash victorious. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical struggle but also the clash of cultures and ideologies that defined this period. As settlers pushed further into Native American territories, conflicts like these became increasingly common. Through this lithograph, Currier and Ives immortalize a significant chapter in American history – one marked by bravery, violence, and conflicting visions of land ownership. It serves as a reminder of both the triumphs and tragedies that accompanied westward expansion. As we gaze upon "The Last Shot" let us reflect on those who shaped our nation's destiny through their actions on these wild frontiers – men like Nathaniel Merritt Jamison whose story is captured within this powerful image.
