EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Tuscarora Indians tracking fugitives, late 17th-early 18th century" takes us back in time to witness a remarkable scene from America's history. Created around 1880 by an unknown artist and featured in Cassells History of the United States by Edmund Ollier, this engraving offers a glimpse into the lives of Native Americans during a tumultuous era. The image showcases two Tuscarora warriors dressed in traditional attire as they skillfully track down fugitives. With spears and tomahawks held firmly in their hands, these brave men embody strength and determination. Their shields serve as both protection and symbols of their warrior status. Set against a backdrop that hints at the vastness of the American landscape, this print transports us to a time when Native American tribes fiercely defended their lands against encroaching forces. It captures not only the physical prowess but also the strategic intelligence employed by these indigenous people during times of war. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical depiction, emphasizing contrasts between light and shadow while highlighting intricate details such as clothing patterns and facial expressions. The print serves as an important reminder of the rich cultural heritage that existed long before European settlers arrived on American soil. As we admire this artwork, let us reflect upon our shared history with Native Americans – acknowledging their resilience, wisdom, and contributions to shaping what is now known as the United States of America.
