Welcome to Quail Hollow Gallery. From paintings done by famous artists of people and life in early America, I make distinctive ready-to-frame prints that --- in the Currier & Ives style --- show the title of the painting and the artist’s name. All prints are 18x24 inches and thus fit frames that can be readily found at many retail outlets. My prints feature iconic images of America’s past, including explorers and the Old West, trappers and pioneers, life in early America, as well as majestic landscapes and historic events and people. You can click on my shop name to browse all the prints available or select a particular category of prints to view.
At dawn on November 29, 1864, approximately 675 U.S. soldiers commanded by Colonel John M. Chivington attacked a village of about 700 Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians along Sand Creek in southeastern Colorado Territory. Using small arms and howitzer fire, the troops drove the people out of their camp. While many managed to escape the initial onslaught, others, particularly noncombatant women, children, and the elderly fled into and up the bottom of the dry stream bed. The soldiers followed, shooting at them as they struggled through the sandy earth. At a point several hundred yards above the village, the women and children frantically excavated pits and trenches along either side of the stream bed to protect themselves. Some adult men attempted to hold back the Army with whatever weapons they had managed to retrieve from the camp, and at several places along Sand Creek the soldiers shot people from opposite banks and brought forward the howitzers to assault their improvised defenses. Over the course of eight hours the troops killed around 200 Cheyenne and Arapaho people composed mostly of women, children, and the elderly. During the afternoon and following day, the soldiers wandered over the field committing atrocities on the dead before departing the scene on December 1 to resume campaigning.
