EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from Crocketts Almanac, created by the American School in the 19th century, tells a fascinating tale of conflict and survival in North America. The image portrays an old Native American woman known as "The Indian Squaw" who found herself entangled in a clash between settlers and Mormons. In this scene, she is depicted after having stolen and devoured one of the valuable Mormon horses. As flames dance around her makeshift bonfire, she skillfully prepares her meal over an open fire. Her weathered face reflects both determination and resilience as she cooks amidst the chaos. This illustration serves as a powerful reminder of the complex relationships that unfolded during America's westward expansion. It highlights not only the struggles faced by indigenous peoples but also their resourcefulness in adapting to changing circumstances. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when horses were essential for survival on these vast lands. It invites us to contemplate how different cultures clashed and coexisted while navigating their way through unfamiliar territories. Thanks to the eCourtesy provided by the American Antiquarian Society, we can now appreciate this historical piece that sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of early American history.
