EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ruins of Fort Putnam, also known as Campus Martius or Fort Marietta, located near Marietta, Ohio. The etching was created by Asher B. Durand in the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the rich history of this frontier region. Built around 1790, Fort Putnam served as a strategic military outpost during a time when Ohio was still considered part of the North American wilderness. Its sturdy walls and watchtowers stood tall against potential threats, providing security to settlers and soldiers alike. Today, all that remains are these hauntingly beautiful ruins that bear witness to an era long gone. The intricate details captured in Durand's etching bring life to the crumbling stone walls and weathered structures. One can almost imagine the stories held within these ancient stones - tales of bravery, hardship, and resilience. As we gaze upon this image from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back in time to an age where survival depended on fortitude and resourcefulness. It serves as a reminder of our collective past and honors those who came before us. Let this evocative print inspire you to explore history's hidden gems right here in America's heartland - where remnants like Fort Putnam remind us of our shared heritage and invite us to reflect on how far we have come as a nation.
