Fort Owen, Flathead Village, USA, 1856 - A Glimpse into the Untamed West
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1856, offering a rare glimpse into the untamed beauty of Fort Owen and Flathead Village in the heartland of America. The image captures an important moment in history when the United States Pacific Railroad Survey party arrived at Fort Owen near present-day Stevensville in Montana's picturesque Bitterroot Valley. Originally known as St Marys Mission and founded by Jesuit Missionary Pierre DeSmet, this fortified settlement served as a crucial hub for trade and interaction between Native American tribes and European settlers during the 19th century. Against a backdrop of majestic mountains and vast open plains, we witness riders on horseback traversing through this rugged terrain. The lithograph's vibrant colors bring to life not only the natural splendor but also highlight the diverse wildlife that once roamed freely across these lands. Horses gracefully gallop alongside their human companions while native inhabitants observe from afar. This scene encapsulates both harmony and tension between cultures coexisting within this magnificent landscape. Created by renowned artist John Mix Stanley and published by Sarony, Major and Knapp under Beverley Tucker's direction, this print is part of a larger collection documenting explorations aimed at finding an optimal route for a railroad connecting Mississippi River to Pacific Ocean. As we immerse ourselves in this visual time capsule from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of our nation's rich heritage shaped by exploration, cultural exchange, and breathtaking natural wonders found throughout its vast territories.
