1875 Immigrant Mormon Polygamy Settler Sing Supply Wagon Train Walk Westward Expansion
EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating wood engraving, titled "MORMON WIVES, 1875" offers a glimpse into the unique world of Mormondom during the late 19th century. This thought-provoking image showcases a group of Mormon women embarking on a journey to the settlements in America's westward expansion. Intriguingly, this print captures not only the physical transportation but also symbolizes an emotional and spiritual voyage for these brave immigrant settlers. The women are depicted walking together in unity, their faces filled with determination and hope as they venture towards new horizons. Polygamy was widely practiced within Mormondom at that time, and this artwork subtly hints at its existence by referring to "A Fresh Supply of Wives". However, it is important to note that this caption does not endorse or promote polygamy; rather it acknowledges its historical significance within this specific context. As we observe these resilient women singing while traversing through vast landscapes on a wagon train, we cannot help but admire their strength and resilience. Their presence signifies both individuality and collective identity as they contribute to shaping American history. This wood engraving from 1875 serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by early settlers in America's westward expansion. It invites us to reflect upon our own journeys - personal or societal - and reminds us of the importance of unity, courage, and embracing change as we forge ahead into uncharted territories.
