OKLAHOMA BOOMERS, 1885 - A Glimpse into the Turbulent Frontier
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving, created by Frederic Remington and featured in an American newspaper of 1885, offers a vivid portrayal of the intense struggle for land during the era of westward expansion. The image captures a pivotal moment as the U. S. Army forcefully ejects an Oklahoma Boomer from settling in Indian territory. The front page print showcases a diverse group of individuals gathered on horseback, representing different facets of society at that time. Among them are determined settlers with covered wagons, families seeking new opportunities, and rugged frontiersmen sporting beards and mustaches. An African American rider is also prominently depicted—a reminder that people from all walks of life participated in this transformative period. The tension between progress and tradition is palpable; smoke billows from pipes held by soldiers while dogs roam freely nearby. In the background, vast stretches of untamed wilderness symbolize both opportunity and conflict. This powerful image serves as a testament to Manifest Destiny—the belief that it was America's destiny to expand its borders—and highlights the often harsh realities faced by those who sought to claim their stake in uncharted territories. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of our nation's relentless pursuit for growth but also of the complex narratives woven into our shared history.
