Here a bearded man in a broad-brimmed hat and dark coat stands with a musket, his companion beside him in a long skirt and bonnet, the pair set against a snow-covered forest. The scene belongs to the nineteenth-century habit of imagining the Pilgrims and Puritans of New England as hardy frontier figures, a picture of piety and self-reliance that grew strong around Thanksgiving. Artists of the period often drew on costume and wilderness to suggest the moral character they wanted viewers to associate with the founders. Look closely at the clothing and weapon, which were chosen to signal endurance and vigilance rather than to record any documented event.
