EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and historically significant print captures the intense moment of the "WHITE RIVER ATTACK, 1879". In this wood engraving from a contemporary newspaper, we witness Company D of the Ninth Colored Cavalry rushing to the rescue of a cavalry detachment under attack by Ute Native Americans near the White River Agency in Colorado. The image showcases an incredible display of bravery and heroism as African American troops gallop on their horses towards the battlefield. The riders' determination is palpable, their faces set with unwavering resolve. Their presence signifies not only their commitment to protecting their fellow soldiers but also highlights their crucial role in defending America's frontier. The chaotic scene depicts a fierce battle between two forces locked in combat. Smoke billows from rifles while arrows fly through the air, creating an atmosphere charged with tension and danger. Amidst this turmoil, these brave men ride fearlessly into harm's way to save lives. This photograph serves as a testament to both the valor displayed by Company D and its significance within American history. It sheds light on lesser-known narratives involving African American troops who fought alongside their white counterparts during times of conflict. Preserved through time, this print allows us to reflect upon our nation's past struggles while honoring those who risked everything for freedom and justice on that fateful day - October 1st, 1879 at White River Agency in Colorado.
