- Lot Description
Lot of 2 silver gelatin boudoir photographs, including a view of "Boomers" at camp and a unique shot capturing a large crowd of eager homesteaders gathered to participate in the Cherokee Land Rush, each with P.A. Miller's Arkansas City, KS, handstamp on verso.
These historic images capture the "rush" for new homesteads in the 225 mile long, 58 mile wide "Cherokee Strip" between southern Kansas and Oklahoma Territory. Sold by the Cherokee to the government, by the time of the opening, more than 100,000 people gathered on the border, nearly 30,000 alone around Arkansas City. At noon on September 16th, 1893, the homesteaders, most mounted on horseback, but others on foot and in wagons, "boomed" across the border to secure prime claims.
Images have lightened slightly, but overall very fine. View of homesteaders at camp, crease in lower left corner of mount.Condition
