The Capture of Elizabeth and Frances Galloway - A Harrowing Tale of Survival
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken from a lithograph published in Harper's Magazine in June 1887, transports us back to a tumultuous era in North America. The image depicts the harrowing capture of Elizabeth and Frances Galloway, two brave sisters who found themselves at the mercy of Native Americans. The scene unfolds on a serene river, where the unsuspecting siblings are peacefully rowing their canoe. Little did they know that danger lurked around every bend. Suddenly, with lightning speed, native captors emerge from the shadows and seize control of their vessel. In this powerful engraving by Howard Pyle, we witness the sheer terror etched upon Elizabeth and Frances' faces as they desperately struggle against their captors. One sister valiantly fights back by striking an oar against her assailant while the other helplessly watches on. Their eventual fate remains unknown; however, this haunting image serves as a reminder of the countless stories lost to history – tales of bravery and resilience amidst captivity. It sheds light on a dark chapter in American history when clashes between settlers and indigenous peoples were all too common. As we gaze upon this poignant artwork from The Stapleton Collection – part of American heritage – let us reflect upon our shared past and strive for understanding among diverse cultures today. May it serve as a testament to both human strength and vulnerability during times marked by conflict and uncertainty.
