EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the untamed era of the Wild West in 1867. The scene depicted is one of intense action and danger, as a group of Native American Indians launch an audacious attack on a transcontinental stagecoach. Illustrated by Charles Laplante and published in 1878, this engraving captures the essence of frontier life during that time. As we gaze upon this dramatic image, we witness the chaos unfolding before our eyes. The Indians gallop fiercely towards their target, arrows drawn and ready to strike. With their faces painted for war, they embody both fearlessness and determination. Meanwhile, inside the stagecoach, passengers brace themselves for what seems like an inevitable hijacking. The landscape surrounding them sets the stage for this perilous encounter - vast open plains stretching into the distance with no sign of civilization in sight. It serves as a reminder that these journeys were not only treacherous but also isolated experiences. Intriguingly juxtaposed against this wild backdrop are elements from more modern times - rifles being fired by both sides suggest that this event took place during or shortly after the Civil War era when firearms became increasingly prevalent. This powerful illustration transports us back to a time when travel was fraught with danger and uncertainty; where every journey carried risks beyond imagination. It reminds us how far we have come since then while honoring those who braved such perils along America's rugged frontiers.
