EDITORS COMMENTS
OHIO: FRONTIER, 1796. A Glimpse into the Lives of Pioneers in the Connecticut Western Reserve". This wood engraving from the 19th century takes us back to a humble abode in Ohio's northeastern section known as the Connecticut Western Reserve. It depicts a family living on the frontier in 1796, offering us a rare glimpse into their daily life. In this intimate scene, we see a mother and her daughter kneeling by a bed while saying their prayers. The flickering candlelight casts shadows on their faces, emphasizing their devotion and resilience amidst the challenges of pioneering life. The young girl is peacefully asleep nearby, unaware of her surroundings. The rustic interior reflects simplicity and resourcefulness - wooden furniture, an old ladder leaning against one wall suggesting additional storage space above. This family embodies the spirit of perseverance that defined those who ventured into uncharted territories during this time. As pioneers in what was then known as Northwest Territory, they were part of America's westward expansion movement. Their presence marked not only physical settlement but also cultural transformation as they brought with them traditions from New England. This historical print serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's roots and pays homage to those who shaped its early history. It invites us to reflect upon our own journey and appreciate how far we have come since these brave frontierswomen paved the way for future generations.
