Bonfire Cook Cooking Eating Forest Settlement Settler Tumbril
EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving, titled 'USA. Settlers building their homes in the West (1874)', offers a glimpse into the early days of American settlement in the western frontier. The image portrays a group of intrepid settlers in the midst of constructing their new homes amidst the raw beauty of the North American wilderness. With the forest as their backdrop, the settlers are busy at work, building their houses using the abundant natural resources at their disposal. A bonfire crackles in the foreground, providing warmth and light to the settlers as they prepare their evening meal. The settlers, both men and women, are dressed in contemporary clothing of the 19th century, with some wearing hats and others cooking over an open flame. The settlers' tumbril, a type of cart used for transportation, is visible in the background, adding to the sense of movement and progress. The settlers' determination and resilience are evident in their hard work and their ability to make a home in this new and unfamiliar environment. The image captures the spirit of adventure and the promise of a new beginning that drew countless numbers of people westward during this period in American history. This engraving is a poignant reminder of the challenges and triumphs faced by the early settlers in the western United States, and serves as a testament to their indomitable spirit and their unwavering belief in the promise of a better future.
