Awaiting the Return Of Mr Tinkham, 1856
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the vast plains of Montana in the 19th century. The image captures a momentous occasion for the members of the United States Pacific Railroad Survey, who have set up camp near Hell Gate River, eagerly awaiting the return of Abiel Tinkham on October 6th, 1853. The encampment is filled with activity as people go about their daily tasks against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty. Colorful tents and tipis dot the landscape, creating a vibrant contrast to the rugged terrain. Native Americans can be seen in their traditional attire, adding an element of cultural richness to this scene. John Mix Stanley's lithography skillfully brings this historical event to life with its vivid colors and attention to detail. The print not only documents an important milestone in American history but also serves as a testament to human determination and exploration during that era. Published by Sarony, Major and Knapp under Beverley Tucker's direction in "Reports of Explorations and Surveys" this artwork showcases America's relentless pursuit of finding practical routes for railroad construction from Mississippi River all the way to Pacific Ocean. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of our nation's pioneering spirit and how it shaped our great country into what it is today - united states connected by iron rails stretching across vast landscapes.
