EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Across the Plains to California by the New Route, U. S. A" takes us on a visual journey through the rugged landscapes and diverse encounters of early American settlers. The print showcases ten distinct scenes that depict various aspects of this arduous expedition. The first image presents a dramatic moment as a Prairie "Schooner" battles against a fierce squall, highlighting the resilience and determination required for such an ambitious undertaking. In contrast, we are introduced to Buffalo Soldiers in the second scene, showcasing their significant role in protecting these pioneers during their westward migration. Moving forward, we encounter a colony of "Dug Outs" simple dwellings carved into hillsides that served as temporary homes along the way. A toothpick is humorously depicted next, perhaps symbolizing both resourcefulness and small pleasures amidst challenging circumstances. The passing shot captures an intense moment of conflict or defense encountered during this perilous journey. Meanwhile, a gentleman from Arizona exudes individuality and character in his attire and demeanor. As our adventurers progress further into their voyage, they come across locals selling twenty oranges for two "bits" emphasizing both commerce and sustenance along this path less traveled. Cow-boys amusing themselves adds another layer of entertainment amid harsh surroundings. Sublime nature imposed upon reveals how even untouched beauty can be transformed by human presence. Finally, we discover a sequestered nook in the desert—a serene oasis providing solace amidst an otherwise unforgiving environment. This vintage engraving not only serves as historic art but also offers insight into 19th-century America's spirit of exploration and perseverance.
