Seth Kinman - A Legendary Frontiersman and Hunter of the American West
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the enigmatic figure of Seth Kinman, a true icon of the 19th-century American frontier. With his rugged appearance and impressive beard, Kinman embodies the spirit of adventure and resilience that defined this era. Known for his remarkable hunting skills, Kinman claimed to have taken down over 800 grizzly bears during his lifetime. His prowess extended beyond bears as well; he boasted about shooting more than 50 elk in just one month. However, it is important to note that alongside these achievements lies a darker side to his legacy – notorious for his brutality towards Native American warriors. Dressed in buckskin clothing adorned with fringe details, Kinman's attire reflects both practicality and style typical of frontiersmen during this time period. The photograph showcases him seated on a chair made by his own hands, highlighting not only his skill as a hunter but also as an accomplished craftsman. While the identity of the photographer remains unknown, their ability to capture such an iconic figure speaks volumes about their talent. Preserved within glass negatives from the Brady Handy Collection at the Library of Congress, this image serves as a testament to America's rich heritage and its fascination with larger-than-life characters like Seth Kinman. As we gaze upon this portrait today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the indomitable spirit that drove pioneers like Seth Kinman across untamed lands in pursuit of adventure and survival.
