Pawnee Camp - Ocean to Ocean, the Pacific railroad, 1875
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by the renowned English artist and illustrator, Frederick Whymper. This image is taken from Henry Walter Bates' "Illustrated Travels," published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The photograph depicts a group of Pawnee Indians encamped on the plains of the United States during the 1870s. The Pawnees, a Native American tribe originally from the Great Plains region, are shown in their traditional clothing and dress. The chief, dressed in a long, fringed buckskin shirt and a colorful headdress adorned with feathers, sits on a horse with a papoose securely strapped to his back. Other men and women are shown in the background, some wearing similar clothing, while others are dressed in more muted, practical garments. The title of the photograph, "Ocean to Ocean, the Pacific railroad," suggests that this image was taken during the construction of the transcontinental railroad, which connected the eastern and western coasts of the United States. The Pawnee camp may have been located near the railroad construction site, making this photograph a significant record of the encounter between European-American settlers and Native American tribes during this period of American history. Whymper's skillful composition and attention to detail bring the Pawnee camp to life, offering a glimpse into the daily life and traditional clothing of this Native American tribe during the late 19th century. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the rich cultural heritage of the Pawnees and the broader history of the United States.
