EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the historic Oklahoma Land Rush of 1893. The image captures a bustling scene at the railroad station in Orlando, Oklahoma Territory, just two days before the Cherokee Strip was opened for settlement. In this snapshot of late 19th-century America, we witness enterprising vendors selling water to homesteaders on their way to claim their piece of land. The composition showcases a diverse group of men, donning hats and sitting on chairs or standing around makeshift stalls. They are surrounded by various vessels like bathtubs and basins filled with water, ready to quench the thirst of those embarking on this momentous journey into the unknown. This drawing from a contemporary American newspaper truly encapsulates the spirit of commerce and opportunity that defined this era. As we delve into history through this photograph, we can almost feel the anticipation in the air as Manifest Destiny drives these brave souls towards new horizons in search of prosperity. The image also offers glimpses into turn-of-the-century life with its depiction of clothing styles and architectural elements. Granger Art on Demand has once again provided us with an evocative visual representation that transports us back in time. It serves as a reminder of our nation's pioneering spirit and highlights significant events that shaped our great country's landscape forever.
