EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HSET2A-00090" takes us back to the 1800s, capturing a moment of both awe and trepidation. In this hand-colored woodcut, we see a family huddled together in a covered wagon as they brace themselves for an approaching prairie storm. The image is reminiscent of traditional American pioneer life, showcasing the hardships faced by settlers on their journey westward. The wind howls fiercely across the great plains, stirring up dust and creating an atmosphere of danger. The dark clouds loom overhead, signaling an impending thunderstorm that threatens to unleash its fury upon the land. Despite their fear, this resilient family remains determined to forge ahead on their trail through Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana, New Mexico and South Dakota. The horse hitched to the wagon appears equally frightened by nature's display of power. As pioneers traveling along trails such as the Santa Fe Trail or Oregon Trail towards North Dakota and beyond into uncharted territories like Oregon or Utah via Mormon Trail; they relied on these faithful animals for transportation and survival. This historic illustration transports us back in time when homesteaders embarked on perilous journeys in search of new opportunities amidst untamed wilderness. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' courage and resilience while navigating through hardship during America's westward expansion. As we gaze at this vintage artwork from North Wind Picture Archives with admiration for those who came before us - let it inspire us to appreciate our own history and
