EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "OKLAHOMA: LAND RUSH, 1893" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases the site of the future city of Perry, Oklahoma during the famous Land Rush of 1893. In this drawing from a contemporary newspaper, we witness the birth of a settlement that would soon become home to thousands. The focal point of the picture is undoubtedly the U. S. Land Office building standing proudly amidst an otherwise barren landscape. This humble structure symbolizes hope and opportunity for those brave souls who participated in this historic event. On September 15th, as indicated by the caption, there was not a single soul inhabiting this land; however, within just one day's time on September 16th, an astonishing population boom occurred with approximately 20,000 settlers staking their claims. This photograph encapsulates both the spirit of westward expansion and government involvement in shaping America's destiny during that era. It serves as a testament to human resilience and determination as individuals sought new beginnings on these vast southwestern plains. As we gaze upon this image today, it reminds us of our nation's rich heritage and how far we have come since those pioneering days at the turn of the century. It stands as a tribute to all those who played a part in shaping Oklahoma into what it is today – vibrant cities thriving with life and progress while still honoring its frontier roots.
