EDITORS COMMENTS
NEBRASKA: SETTLERS, 1901. Capturing the essence of early American pioneers, this print showcases a homesteader and his family in front of their humble sod house in Cherry County, near Pullman, Nebraska. Taken by renowned photographer Solomon D. Butcher in 1901, this image transports us back to the untamed frontier of the Great Plains. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a slice of life from turn-of-the-century America. The father stands proudly beside his horse while his wife holds their infant child tenderly in her arms. Two young children stand close by, exuding curiosity and innocence amidst the vast prairie landscape. This photograph encapsulates the spirit of resilience and determination that defined these settlers as they ventured westward into uncharted territories. With nothing but their sheer willpower and resourcefulness, they built homes out of sod – a testament to their adaptability and survival skills. The simplicity yet profound significance of this scene resonates deeply with viewers today. It serves as a reminder of our roots and pays homage to those who paved the way for future generations on this land. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this historic photograph offers an authentic glimpse into America's past without commercial intent or use. It is a timeless piece that invites contemplation on our shared history and celebrates the indomitable human spirit.
