EDITORS COMMENTS
NEBRASKA: SETTLERS, c1889. Capturing the resilience and determination of early pioneers, this print showcases a family of homesteaders outside their humble sod house at Old Coburgh Post Office in Custer County, Nebraska. Taken by renowned photographer Solomon D. Butcher around 1889, this sepia-toned portrait offers a glimpse into the lives of those who ventured westward during the late 19th century. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a group united by their shared dreams and aspirations for a better life on the great plains. The father stands tall beside his wife and children, embodying strength and responsibility as he leads his family through the challenges of building a new home on untamed land. The young boy captures our attention with an air of curiosity and innocence as he gazes towards the camera lens. His presence symbolizes hope for future generations amidst the vast prairie landscape that stretches out behind them. Surrounded by rural simplicity, we witness signs of progress in this pioneer community - from the windmill towering above to hints of other structures nearby. These settlers have carved out their place in history through hard work and perseverance. This remarkable photograph serves as both an artifact from America's westward expansion era and a testament to human resilience in pursuit of opportunity. Preserved by The Granger Collection, it invites us to reflect upon our own roots while honoring those who paved the way for generations to come.
