EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating wood engraving, "OKLAHOMA BOOMER, 1885" transports us back to a significant moment in American history. Created by Frederic Remington and featured in an American newspaper of the same year, this artwork vividly depicts the clash between settlers and Native Americans during westward expansion. In this scene, we witness the U. S. Army forcefully ejecting an Oklahoma Boomer from settling in Native American territory. The soldier sternly directs his attention towards the Boomer family as they reluctantly gather their belongings near their covered wagon. A loyal dog stands faithfully beside them, mirroring their sense of displacement. Remington's masterful craftsmanship brings forth every detail - from the intricate harnesses on horses to the determination etched onto each character's face. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical struggle but also conveys a deeper narrative about manifest destiny and its impact on both immigrants and indigenous peoples. This wood engraving serves as a poignant reminder of America's complex past, shedding light on themes such as land rush, homesteading, and frontier life. It invites viewers to reflect upon our nation's relentless pursuit of progress at any cost while acknowledging the profound consequences it had for those who called these lands home long before European settlement. "The OKLAHOMA BOOMER" print is more than just fine art; it is a visual time capsule that encourages contemplation about our collective history and challenges us to consider how we can learn from it moving forward.
