EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in American history - the establishment of the first bank at Guthrie, Oklahoma Territory, on the momentous day of the Oklahoma land rush. The drawing, sourced from a contemporary American newspaper, beautifully depicts the bustling scene that unfolded on April 22nd, 1889. In this vivid engraving, we witness an array of characters who embody the spirit of adventure and opportunity that defined this era. A stagecoach pulled by sturdy horses dominates the foreground as it arrives at Guthrie's newly established bank. Settlers and frontiersmen eagerly gather around, their hats shielding them from the late Southwestern sun. The Great Plains stretch out behind them – vast and promising – symbolizing both manifest destiny and westward expansion. This boom town was born out of dreams for a better future as homesteaders sought to claim their stake in Indian Territory. The men depicted here represent not only pioneers but also symbols of progress. They are forging ahead into uncharted territory with determination etched upon their faces. Their presence signifies not just economic growth but also cultural transformation as they establish institutions like banking to support this burgeoning community. As we gaze upon this historic image captured by The Granger Collection, we are transported back to a time when America was still being shaped by those brave enough to venture into unknown lands. It serves as a reminder of our nation's pioneering spirit and
