EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, entitled "The Cherokees Are Coming: A Rider Warns That The Cherokees Are Coming. Date: 1782," transports us back to the 18th century in America, a time of heightened tension between European settlers and Native American tribes. The print depicts a lone rider galloping into a small town, his hand raised in warning as he shouts the ominous words, "The Cherokees are coming!" Behind him, a group of concerned townsfolk have gathered, their faces etched with fear and uncertainty. In the distance, a band of Cherokee warriors can be seen approaching, their horses thundering across the landscape. The Cherokee Nation, one of the largest and most powerful Native American tribes in the southeastern United States, had long been at odds with European settlers over land and resources. Tensions had been simmering for decades, and by the late 18th century, violence between the two groups had escalated into full-blown conflict. The rider in this print is likely carrying a warning of an imminent attack, and the townsfolk are preparing to defend themselves and their homes. This powerful image captures the sense of unease and danger that characterized life on the American frontier during this period. It serves as a reminder of the complex and often volatile relationships between European settlers and Native American tribes during the colonial era, and the ongoing struggle for land and resources that shaped the history of America. The print also underscores the importance of communication and warning systems in the face of potential danger, as the rider's timely warning allows the townspeople to prepare for the impending attack.
