EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures a breathtaking view down the Mississippi River from Fort Snelling, Minnesota between 1880 and 1899. The image, created using a dry plate or glass negative process, showcases the majestic river as it winds its way through the American countryside. The military installation of Fort Snelling, a prominent fortification built in the mid-19th century, stands proudly on the riverbank, serving as a testament to the region's rich history. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a peek at the rural landscape and the natural beauty of the Mississippi River during the late 1800s. The image is devoid of modern structures and commercial development, allowing viewers to imagine the serene and untouched landscape as it once was. Fort Snelling, located in what is now Minnesota, United States of America, was a key military outpost during the 19th century. It played a significant role in the westward expansion of the United States and served as a strategic location for the military during various conflicts, including the Dakota War of 1862. This photograph, from the vast collection of the Library of Congress, is a valuable piece of American heritage art that offers a unique perspective on the country's history and the natural wonders of the Mississippi River during the 1880s and 1890s.
