Indians Lamenting the Approach of the White Man (from McGuire Scrapbook) 1825 - 1835

"Indians Lamenting the Approach of the White Man" (1825-1835) is a poignant pencil drawing by Frederick Stiles Agate, depicting Native Americans mourning the encroachment of European settlers. The drawing, part of the McGuire Scrapbook, captures the despair and sorrow of indigenous peoples as they witness the destruction of their traditional way of life. Agate's work, executed in a sensitive and detailed manner, is a testament to the tragic impact of westward expansion on Native American communities.
