EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Puritans Barricading Their House Against Indians" captures a significant moment in the early colonization of America. Taken in 1877 by Albert Bobbett, this image depicts European settlers defending their house against Native Americans whose land they had invaded. In the 17th century, as England sought to establish colonies on the east coast of what is now the United States, conflicts with local Native American tribes were inevitable. This photograph serves as a visual representation of that tumultuous period in history. The engraving showcases a group of Puritan colonists diligently barricading their home against potential attacks. With hammers and nails in hand, men and women work together to secure planks over windows and doors. The tension is palpable as they prepare for an uncertain future. This image not only highlights the physical struggle between invaders and indigenous peoples but also reflects broader themes such as colonialism, occupation, and religious conflict. It offers viewers a glimpse into the hardships faced by both sides during this era of exploration and expansion. Preserved within the pages of Benson J. Lossing's book "Our Country: A Household History for All Readers" this historical artifact provides valuable insight into America's past. Through Albert Bobbett's lens, we are reminded of the complexities inherent in our nation's foundation – a reminder that understanding our shared history is crucial for building a more inclusive future.
