EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to the 1870s, a time when the American frontier was being shaped by pioneers and their relentless pursuit of progress. The image showcases the herculean task of building a railroad track in winter across the mighty Missouri River at Bismarck, North Dakota in 1879. Against a backdrop of pristine snow-covered prairies, brave workers labor tirelessly to connect this remote settlement with the rest of America. Horses strain against their harnesses as they pull carts laden with construction materials through the unforgiving cold. Each swing of an axe or strike of a hammer echoes determination and resilience. The scene is imbued with history and heritage, capturing not only the physical effort required but also symbolizing unity and connection. This illustration stands as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in conquering nature's obstacles. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork, we are transported back to an era where progress meant laying down tracks that would forever change communities like Bismarck. It serves as a reminder that every village or town has its own unique story rooted in hard work and sacrifice. Let this image be an invitation to explore our past, appreciate those who came before us, and reflect on how far we have come since those early days on the great plains of North Dakota's Dakota Territory.
