EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving from John Underhill's Newes from America, 1638, showcases the historic Pequot Fort near Stonington, Connecticut. The detailed plan provides a glimpse into the structure and layout of this significant Native American stronghold that was tragically destroyed in 1637. The image transports us back to a time when tensions between European colonists and indigenous tribes were escalating in the New World. The fort served as a symbol of resistance for the Pequot tribe against encroaching settlers seeking to expand their colonies. Every line and detail on this print tells a story of conflict and struggle. From its strategic positioning overlooking the landscape to its sturdy walls designed for defense, it is evident that this fort played an essential role in protecting tribal lands. As we study this engraving, we are reminded of the complex history surrounding colonization and native sovereignty. It serves as a visual reminder of how different cultures clashed during this period, leaving lasting impacts on both sides. The Granger Collection has preserved this historical artifact with great care, allowing us to reflect upon our shared past and gain insights into the challenges faced by those who came before us. This print stands as a testament to resilience while also serving as a cautionary tale about the consequences of cultural clashes in colonial North America.
