EDITORS COMMENTS
The Prairie Hunter: One Rubbed Out! (c1852) captures a pivotal moment in the American frontier, a time when the vast prairies were still largely uncharted territory and survival depended on the skills of the hunter. This powerful image, available from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts a lone American hunter on horseback, his determined gaze fixed on the horizon as he rides through the grasslands. The hunter's red scarf flaps in the wind, a stark contrast against the green and gold expanse of the prairie. His rifle is slung over his shoulder, ready for action, while his right hand clutches a knife, a reminder of the danger that lurks in the wilderness. But this scene is not just about the hunter and the natural world. In the background, a group of Native Americans can be seen, their figures barely discernible through the haze of the prairie. The relationship between the two groups was complex and often fraught with tension and conflict. This image hints at the potential for danger and confrontation, as the hunter and the Native peoples each staked their claim to the land. Despite the potential for conflict, the image also conveys a sense of awe and wonder at the beauty and vastness of the American frontier. The hunter's solitary journey through the prairie represents the spirit of adventure and exploration that drove many Americans westward in search of new opportunities and experiences. The title of the image, "The Prairie Hunter: One Rubbed Out!" adds an element of mystery and intrigue. It's unclear what the phrase means, but it could refer to the hunter's potential encounter with a Native American or perhaps a dangerous animal. Regardless, it adds to the sense of excitement and danger that permeates the image, making it a compelling and evocative snapshot of life on the American frontier in the mid-19th century.
