EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of the Wichita Mountains in southwest Oklahoma, a scene that has captivated visitors for generations. The Wichita Mountains, once known as the Comanche and Kiowa territories, have a rich and complex history that stretches back to the late 1800s. The image, taken in the late 1800s, showcases the picturesque range in all its glory. The rolling hills, dotted with trees and rugged terrain, create a stunning contrast against the clear blue sky. The mountains, which rise up to over 2,000 feet, have long been a source of inspiration for artists, photographers, and writers. The Wichita Mountains were once home to the Comanche and Kiowa tribes, who roamed the land for centuries before European settlers arrived. The area was not officially opened to white settlement until 1862, when the United States government established a military post in the region. Despite the arrival of settlers, the Wichita Mountains remained a wild and untamed place. The rugged terrain and harsh climate made it difficult for farmers to cultivate the land, and many settlers moved on to more fertile areas. However, the mountains continued to attract adventurous souls seeking to explore the wilderness and experience the beauty of nature. Today, the Wichita Mountains are a popular destination for tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can hike, camp, fish, and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The mountains are also home to several historic sites, including Fort Sill, which was established in 1867 and is now a National Historic Site. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and natural beauty of the Wichita Mountains in southwest Oklahoma. It invites us to imagine the stories of the past and the adventures that await us in this picturesque range.
