EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the excitement and anticipation of the Oklahoma Land Rush in 1891. The image showcases a group of determined Oklahoma homesteaders, ready to stake their claims on former Indian lands. With their horses at the forefront, these brave men embody the spirit of the American frontier. The contemporary line engraving, based on W. A. Rogers' original artwork, beautifully depicts this pivotal moment in history. It transports us back to September 22nd, 1891 when thousands of settlers flocked to Oklahoma Territory seeking new opportunities and a chance at prosperity. In this scene, we witness an array of characters: equestrians skillfully maneuvering through the crowd; frontiersmen with rugged determination etched onto their faces; and settlers arriving in covered wagons, carrying all they own as they embark on this uncertain journey. The image also hints at the rapid growth that followed this land rush - boom towns emerging almost overnight as manifest destiny unfolded before our eyes. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of westward expansion and its impact on both Native American tribes and pioneers alike. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from The Granger Collection's archives, we are reminded of the courage and resilience displayed by those who ventured into uncharted territories in pursuit of a better future for themselves and generations to come.
