EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Far West on the Upper Missouri River, 1876" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases a majestic paddleboat with its upper deck, balcony, and towering smokestacks dominating the frame. This steam-powered vessel played a crucial role during one of the most infamous battles in U. S. history. Transporting survivors from the Battle of Little Bighorn on June 25th, 1876, this paddleboat became an emblematic symbol of resilience and survival. As we gaze upon this historic scene captured by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century, we are reminded of the immense tragedy that unfolded during Custer's Last Stand. The composition highlights every intricate detail of this grand steamboat - from its chimney-like funnels to its elegant side-wheeler design. It stands as a testament to America's pioneering spirit and technological advancements at that time. Through this timeless print held within a private collection but made available by Peter Newark American Pictures through Bridgeman Images, we can almost hear the churning waters beneath and feel the weighty historical significance it carries. Let us reflect upon our nation's past as we admire this remarkable piece of artistry that encapsulates both triumph and loss along America's great riverscape.
