EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1852 depicts the daring escape of Major Samuel McColloch, an American frontiersman and soldier, during the American Revolution. In September 1777, after leading a relief expedition to Fort Henry in present-day Wheeling, West Virginia, Major McColloch found himself pursued by Native American warriors. With his life hanging in the balance, he made a split-second decision that would go down in history. In this dramatic scene captured by artists Karl Bodmer and Jean François Millet, Major McColloch is seen riding his horse off of a precipice. The sheer bravery and resourcefulness displayed by this frontier hero are awe-inspiring as he defies gravity to escape certain capture or worse. The lithograph beautifully portrays the intensity of the pursuit with Native American warriors on horseback wielding spears while Major McColloch fearlessly takes flight over rocky terrain. His determination is palpable as he grips tightly onto the reins and uses every ounce of skill to guide his loyal steed towards freedom. This artwork not only commemorates an extraordinary moment in history but also serves as a testament to courage and resilience. It reminds us of those who risked their lives for our nation's independence and honors their unwavering spirit on America's untamed frontier.
