EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "CARTOON: OKLAHOMA, 1891" takes us back to the vibrant era of Boom City in Oklahoma. This cartoon from an American newspaper of 1891 captures a significant moment in history when Oklahoma boomers eagerly introduced themselves to a capitalist hailing from the eastern United States. In this snapshot of time, we witness the collision of two worlds - that of the frontier frontiersmen and immigrants who sought new opportunities in this land rush territory, and that of the wealthy financier representing capitalism's influence on westward expansion. The men depicted exude confidence with their impressive mustaches, spurs jingling at their heels, and an air of anticipation for what lies ahead. As settlers gather around under an umbrella symbolizing unity amidst diversity, it becomes evident that this meeting holds political implications as well. The late 19th century was marked by manifest destiny ideals where Americans believed it was their divine right to expand across the continent. This image encapsulates both hope for progress and potential conflicts arising from conflicting interests. This historical artifact not only provides a glimpse into life during turn-of-the-century America but also serves as a reminder of how our nation's landscape has evolved over time. It stands as a testament to the spirit of adventure, resilience, and ambition that shaped our great country during its formative years.
