EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the start of the Wheeler Expedition in 1871, led by Lieutenant George Wheeler. Taken by Timothy H. O'Sullivan on September 15th, this image showcases the historical significance of this geological survey. The scene unfolds at Camp Mojave, Arizona, as a rowboat glides across a serene lake. A lone man can be seen rowing with determination, symbolizing the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized westward expansion during this era. In the background, we catch a glimpse of Native American culture as teepees dot the landscape. This serves as a reminder of the rich history and diverse communities encountered during these expeditions. The expedition itself aimed to conduct an extensive geological survey of uncharted territories in order to better understand America's vast landscapes. Lieutenant George Wheeler led his team through challenging terrain, documenting their findings along the way. This stereograph print from The Granger Collection allows us to step back in time and appreciate both the beauty and challenges faced by those who ventured into unknown territories for scientific discovery. It is a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge about our world. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its artistic value – capturing a moment frozen in time that continues to inspire awe and wonder today.
