EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "NEBRASKA: SETTLERS, 1886" transports us back to the late 19th century on the American frontier. The image showcases the Chrisman Sisters standing proudly in front of their modest sod house in Goheen Valley, Custer County, Nebraska. Taken by photographer Solomon D. Butcher in 1886, this portrait captures a moment frozen in time. The sisters' determined expressions reflect the resilience and strength required to thrive as pioneers during westward expansion. Their simple yet elegant attire speaks volumes about their resourcefulness and adaptability to life on the prairie. A horse stands nearby, symbolizing both transportation and companionship amidst the vast Great Plains. This photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by homesteaders who sought new beginnings in rural America. It serves as a testament to their unwavering spirit and determination to build a home from scratch using only what nature provided – sod bricks stacked one upon another. As we admire this historical artifact from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, let us remember those who paved the way for future generations through sheer perseverance and tenacity. This print encapsulates an era when women played an integral role alongside men in shaping our nation's history.
