1778 Clark Crosses Crossings Gestures Independence Pointing Revolutionary Rogers Wabash
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the moment of determination and courage as General George Rogers Clark and his soldiers cross the Wabash River during the American War of Independence in 1778. The image, set against the backdrop of the 18th century American wilderness, depicts Clark, dressed in military attire and pointing the way forward, leading his men through the shallow waters. The soldiers, some carrying rifles and others wading in the water, follow closely behind their commander, their faces etched with focus and resolve. The Wabash River, a significant barrier at the time, marked the western frontier of the American colonies. Clark's successful crossing of the river with his small force of 170 men opened up the region to American control and played a crucial role in the eventual victory of the Revolutionary War. This crossing also secured the loyalty of the native American tribes in the area, who saw Clark's leadership as a symbol of strength and unity. The print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, transports us back to this pivotal moment in American history. The swans gliding gracefully in the foreground add a sense of tranquility to the scene, contrasting the intensity of the soldiers' mission. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the bravery and perseverance of the American Revolutionaries, and the sacrifices they made to secure their nation's independence.
